I sincerely ask, what does Kelly bring to our program?

At least with Miles and Orgeron the players fought like hell

We don’t execute at a high level on the field. We have stupid penalties. Call dead ball timeouts all the time

Some of you are forgetting just how bad some of the Les and Orgeron games got when it was bad, and it shows.

Ya'll are remembering 2005-2011 and 2019, and that's it.

Lots of downvotes and replies yet still no answer. What makes Brian Kelly so special? If he we get our asses clapped against Clemson next year to start the season should he be on the hot seat?

He brings a level of stability that we lost under Coach O's final years. 10 wins isn't sexy to us but it puts us firmly in the Top 15/20 minimum. Which means with 12 and then 14 teams in the playoffs we're closer. Just need a coach who can be a killer on the sideline and a CEO of the program.

Is it stability

You seem to greatly underappreciate how difficult stability is.

You can look around year after year and see the shiny new toy, the next year that toy is broken. The list of guys who have risen and fallen in the time frame Brian Kelly has been winning 10 games a year is extensive.

Stability is massive. Its the reason Miles hung on so long and lack there of is what got Orgeron the boot so quickly.

Kelly has brought some structure and processes that have worked well to keep players on the team and eligible.

I see less players in trouble and better structure that hasn't paid many dividends on the football field. Right now we're running a very high cost young adult and social media development program.

EXCUSES.

I’m so tired of you guys talking about Ed O and Miles “at least they did this”

All the frustration with BK you guys are feeling? Multiply that by 10 and space it out over several years. That was the same feeling you had with Miles.

Orgeron didn’t take his job seriously after he won the natty. Period. We needed someone in who was a proven winner to stop the bleeding and we did that. Unfortunately we had to pay a 10 year 100 million dollar contract.

But Woodward weighed the options and decided it was better to overpay for a sure thing than underpay for a Napier. When I say sure thing, I mean, he won’t let the wheels fall off. They haven’t. We’ve gone 9-3 in the regular season twice and have a chance to do it again this season.

Winning a national championship is extremely rare. The odds are, BK will not win one. Kirby may not ever win another one. Look at all the best coaches you can think of, right now. How many do you think will win a championship? 2? How many championships do you think the best one out of that one will win? 2?

Getting Kelly was still the smart move. It’s better to have a high floor low ceiling than a low floor and a ceiling you can’t even account for yet.

People talk about Lane Kiffin like he’s the greatest coach ever and he has zero championships.

At least with Miles and Orgeron the players fought like hell. Is it stability and a clean program? What does he offer because most of the team is soft as baby shite. We don’t execute at a high level on the field. We have stupid penalties. Call dead ball timeouts all the time. Still having special teams issues. I wouldn’t call him a great recruiter. He’s built a great recruiting staff which he needs credit for but he’s never been known to be a recruiter. Hasn’t had us ready to start the season in all three years. So that’s why I ask what he bring to the table and why I should be excited for the future? He seems to underperform with the talent he has. I’m excited about the ‘25 class, but I can’t help but think he’ll underperform here.

So what do you suggest? LSU is still paying for a complete defensive staff overhaul from last year, and with about 60 Mil left on BK's contract, unless he quits.
