BK firing Moffitt and letting Raymond walk told me all I needed to know about him.
Kelly also fired the best special teams Coach and brought in his man,
Special teams were responsible for several losses after he arrived.
Getting J Daniels, hid Kelly's incompetence fora a while. But it was bound to be exposed.

Kelly made tons of mistakes. Getting rid of 2021 Raymond and Moffitt weren’t among them. Both had been here too long and were complacent as frick. Raymond was griping about not getting promotions and the team evidently just ignored Moffit. We were almost as soft and just as injury prone his last two seasons as the next two. Almost.
The issue wasn’t firing them. It was not hiring the right replacements. At least Raymond was motivated and over any bullshite when he came back, because what we’ve had the last two seasons was NOT what we were getting in 20 and 21. As for Moffit- there are better and even more important, younger out there. We had the money and name to land someone like that and Kelly just made the wrong hire.

ETA: it is possible that he did “grow stale” or the “game passed him by” after 2019 (I don’t think so) and getting fired by Brian Kelly & the opportunity for revenge at A&M lit a fire under him. Either way glad it worked out, but I still hate the idea of Moffitt saying “gig em”
Complacency can affect anyone. Raymond was at the end and so was Moffitt.
The rabble here will anoint him their God because he pushed a bad LSU team around, but his team sure as frick didn’t do that to Texas or Miami. Even with him closer to his best today, there’s still better and younger on the market.

LMAO at the idea it was Tommy that ended BK here.

Something that isn't spoken very often is the pushback against paying BK his remaining contract was to appease those people. I know because I deal with them on a regular basis. Anyone with any real connection to reality understood that the contract is iron-clad, hardly any way to get out of it unless BK decided to drive a motorcycle with the dean's daughter on the back.

Coach O lost the team as a whole after the natty. That much is obvious. Two bad years when your head coach imploded doesn’t negate the 8 years before that when you were elite.
Same goes for Moffitt. Dude has been a part of 3 national championship teams. That alone tells you his ability to adapt.
I will say, though, that with the state of college football and how no one stays at a school to get developed anymore, the S&C coach isn’t AS important. Still important, but the role has definitely changed

1. Brian Kelly sucked and did not field an SEC worthy team
2. Moffitt doesn’t offer the value he once did and Kelly was right to move on if the goal was to field a championship program
3. He misfired with his replacement
These are not mutually exclusive realities, retards

This board likes to say Moffitt was stale, which is the LSU fans way of coping. But the dude is and always has been one of the best in the business.
Yap
LSU was playing more walk ons than I ever remember at the end of moffitts tenure. The recruiting had fallen off big time. People wanted Moffitt to make Jared small into Ray Lewis

Coach O was not the head coach for 8 years before he was fired. He was the full-time head coach for 5 3/4 seasons. Only 2019 was elite.

Tommy took a season off after BK fired him. Perhaps the rest and reflection helped him. I do think he has been very beneficial to our team in strength, speed, and endurance.
I know this is a polarizing subject around here... he did have disdain for BK.

You said it all. I didn’t like Kelly at Notre Dame and Cincinnati. When he won the west division I was optimistic but that was it. Nobody will want him now. I will say this. Verge is the man. Our offensive line was horrible. Bring back Myles. He had some beast and power. Hell of a recruiter. I would take him back if something like Orgerons job was available. He was a nut during those interviews. Gotta love him . Moffitt gone was a mistake.

Bingo. A&M has been dominated every time they played a real team the past 2 years.
Just because BK’s replacement for S&C was a soft puss doesn’t mean we should have retained Moffitt. CR never lost his value imo. Poor safety play & Pelini hurt CR’s reputation for a bit.

Moffett had slipped while he was here.

And you can’t tell me that there aren’t a lot of quality strength and conditioning coaches out there.
It’s a mindset of the Team, and it always and will always start at the Top.
We’ll be fine

To be honest our special teams collapsed in that game plus as usual we couldn’t contain a running QB. I don’t see how moffit was responsible for either. Sorry.

Is there any info as to why Kiffin didn’t get him back? Seems like he’d love the chance to return.

Interesting the upvotes this has given how many people around here were cool with them leaving.
Hell, there was a ton of griping when Raymond coming back started gaining some legs.
