re: How long does Kelly stay?

He'll win the first one in 2026 then he'll get a contract extension and likely be the highest paid. He'll win his 2nd one in 2027 then last another 5 years before retiring.

I hope your right but it’s still just weird how much hate O gets on this board.

1. You dont hope he's right (anybody who utters that phrase is lying their asses off).

2. He gets hate because he ran our beloved program into the ground. It was a nosedive of epic porportions from top to bottom. I don't even want to start to name all the foolery. While some of you see a Cajun messiah, i see a guy who caught lightning in a bottle. The man was more Gene Chizik than anything. Great recruiter, but also chased star rankings instead of needs and good guys like Etienne.

Kelly has never won a meaningful post season game in his life.

---

Name the last Notre Dame coach who has? Also, the man was only at one power 5 school prior to LSU.

quote:

---

Coach O has the best national championship team in the history of football and y’all give him zero credit.

---

We give him tons of credit, but he completely gave up after he won it. The man went on vacation for 2 years. He was just waiting on them to fire him.

quote:

---

The verdict is still out on Kelly.

---

Not really. Most knowledgeable minds expect him to win at least one championship here, and that's from national and SEC country guys. Knowledgeable fans understand that Kelly understands team composition and what it means to build a program. Only asshats and dumbos can't see the insane comeup.

The recruiting classes, the defensive overhaul created a goat level of coaching prowess on offense and defense. Already showing you he can build a top 30 defense with transfers year one. Already showing you offensive success with a heisman winner and #1 offense in the country in year two. Already beat Bama, already won the West. Now the recruiting classes are in maximum overdrive.

quote:

---

He needs to start getting us to the playoffs before we give him an extension lol.

---

Wow, an LSU fan projecting and making predictions hurt you that bad?

quote:

---

His excuse for not winning big games was Notre dame wasn’t good enough.

---

They weren't. Again, when was the last Notre Dame coach who won a big postseason game? I'll wait....

Notre Dame is sitting at 11 in the On3 composite with 21 commits. They don't have a 5 star and only 2 players in the top 100. LSU is sitting 3rd with three 5 star commits, 8 commits in the top 100, and only 18 commits total. They have the highest quality per recruit of any other school. Notre Dame is still recruiting at the same level they were when Kelly was there, while Kelly has had a top 7, top 5, and will likely finish top 3 class this year.

quote:

---

Well Notre Dame has better Vegas odds of making it to the cfp this year so what am I missing?

---

What a dumb statement to make. Kelly would have literally been in the 12 team playoffs his last 4 years at ND. Kelly finished the last four regular seasons 12-0, 10-2, 10-1 (2020), and 11-1. Kelly finished in the AP top 5 in 3 of his last 4 years.

I swear some of you dumbos need your asses kicked by dad.

O gave up when Woody started making coaching hires. Pellini!
No one will will ever convince me that a DC who helped us to a National Championship in O8, would forget how to coach defense

---

It's been rumored that O had his hands all over the defense. That's whybwe kept running the same bullshite defense for two years despite changing DCs. Then when he was basically fired midseason, he let the DC coach. LSU played much better defensively after that.

Good Lord if his current state is his prime 2007 Mike Mangino may start looking healthy by comparison.
