This. Florida is the worst SEC team we will play. It was a dog fight AT HOME, AT NIGHT until the end. Fun to be 3 - 0, but we are horrendously coached on offense.

Kelly is like a petulant kid who throws a tantrum at his parents after being questioned about why he made a D on his math test. His only answer is to scream “I passed didn’t I?”

Not acceptable

Saw his reaction a few times last night after some plays, didn’t look real happy

—But that’s on him. He picked the OC, so he’s responsible for the poor offense.
It’s not the reporter’s fault. He chewed out the reporter more than Sloan, I bet.

You don't know how hard that is

—sounds like something BK would say

He was brought here to WIN
He's doing that

Is he?

I'm pretty much done with the BK experiment.

I have been done since his announced hire.

Ok the lack of offense is striking, and sure he has to get it going. As coach, it's up to him to not dwell on it with the media, seeing as we're 3-0.

But christ, we have a defense, are 3-0 ranked 3rd, put down sunbelt Billy's best efforts, and look forward to a presumptive playoff run. Nuss and/or playcalling has regressed, but CBK has shown he can put together an offense. Now a defense. Even some solid special teams now. And they're playing well with each other to get wins.

It's eye rolling and even a bit frustrating, but you don't fire a mf'er for being top three and going 3-0.

So you want to wreck a season that we have a legitimate chance to go deep in the playoffs?

Hahahahahahaha!! In order for us to even make the playoffs the offense will have to improve DRASTICALLY! I think we would all agree on how great the defense has been, but that alone will not be enough to carry this team to a championship in my opinion. As great as the defense has been is equivalent to how bad the offense has been.

Doubtful.

You watched the clip ESPN is showing. Or you are suffering confirmation bias for a coach you don’t like, or you aren’t capable of reading a room.


Kelly was annoyed that after a huge hard fought win for his team that the very first question was a negative one about the offense, which is clearly struggling. True.


So yes he made a point to defend his team and focus on the positive while making a show of it.


But clearly many in the press room understood and were laughing along at the education of their colleague, and made jokes throughout the rest of the press conference, with Kelly hyperbolically praising the “excellent questions” that followed as they all played along and one later asked for permission to ask a certain questions and Kelly jokingly bantered back.


Was he frustrated, yes. Does he have a daily working relationship with the local press in that room and feel a certain ability to banter with them, especially after a win? Absolutely yes.

Does he know he likely messed up not replacing Sloan and that will possibly cost this team from reaching its full potential, yes. Does that make him even more frustrated than the question? Absolutely yes.

Is the national media in tune with how Kelly interacts with the beat reporters in Baton Rouge? Absolutely not.


Had that question come toward the end after he had a chance to praise all that went well he would likely not have had that reaction. In fact he spoke more critically about things that didn’t go well as it went on, but the initial question in the aftermath of an important win definitely touched a nerve. But reports are that the sports reporter that writes about college football will survive the assault, despite initial concerns he would not
