It would actually be very funny if they got a motivated and hungry BK and he makes the post season by year 2.

Wouldn't be funny for LSU fans but boy yall think Kiffin is a troll? Nothing could ever top that troll in college football.

The expectations at Penn State are also not as crazy as LSU.


They fired the best coach they had in the last 30 years who was one defensive stop away from the title game last year.

Franklin's record in big games was arse, but to pretend like Kelly will do any better or not be under as much pressure as he was at LSU is crazy.

Its a bad year to be looking for a new HC., some of these schools will have to settle.

Penn State makes sense as he is one of the better coaches available. He just wasn’t a good fit for LSU.

If Kelly was planning on taking a job like Penn st he is an absolute moron for not taking the buyout deal.

If he was planning on coaching, he would have negotiated a lump sum. He'll only coach if he changes his mind and it won't be next year. If he coaches next year, then we didn't really offer him 30 million.

He said that BK has a real shot for the Penn State job if he’s up for it and could be announced as soon as next weekend


BK is doing nothing but “actively seeking employment” like the buyout stipulates…

A mediocre match made in heaven. Like peanut butter & jelly. Like Misery & Drink.

Actually I saw a national article about Michigan State about a week ago. Their HC has a hideous record and Kelly is a state of Michigan guy so IF any P4 program might want him, Michigan State might be the one. Tucker had a good year or so several years ago but since then...squat. The Penn State deal indeed sounds like an agent planted/encouraged story to me.

Kenzel is done.


nope, he will enter the nepotism pipeline that is coaching, his dad will get him a job, on his resume he will say that he “played” football at LSU, O had his kids on the staff here, all coaches do it, the coaching bidness is harder to break into than the river boat pilots these days

I heard he’s also a potential replacement for Bellecheck at UNC.

He interviewed with them the week before hey fired Franklin. This is why he initially agreed to the 40% buyout so he could coach immediately. But in discussions someone pissed in someone’s cereal and the fight started. But it’s been Penn State. This has been the play all along
