Everyone saying he was distant, never really there, playing golf, vacationing...Is that real? Not saying you're wrong, but I'm just hearing about this since the firing.



I think most of us suspected this when he seemed legitimately surprised by the offense we were running and the plays we were calling.

Its easy to blame the assistants, but it seems kind of obvious they were pretty much on their own.

He thought he had some grace and some people on his side



he probably did up until his "spoiled" comment. pretty much told everyone, critical and supportive, to frick off. well, FAFO BK.......although he gets his $20+M.

So they fired him with no plan in place? If true that just underscores the lack of leadership at LSU athletics.


Yea that’s how these things work and coaching searches take a while.

KELLYA looked absolutely devastated and broken sipping a 20oz beer for lunch and scarfing down nachos at superior the day after he was fired. The man gave everything.... Emptied his bucket

Then you sir don’t understand how serious LSU football is. Who is going to continuously sit around and watch LSU get their arses kicked 3 out of the last 4 weeks, and our win vs USC was terrible. No fixing anything, no attempt to change anything. Watch Nuss be a sitting duck, and watch our highly paid wide receivers not get the ball..orrrrr watch Nuss sling it far sideline for a 5 yard stop route.

If you paid attention, there was no way in hell Kelly was making it through that game. We simply were not playing FOOTBALL like the others teams around the country.

People,

Kelly didn’t care about winning a championship or facing SEC recruiting wars. His money is guaranteed unless he is fired for cause. He was 60ish years old with $100 million for retirement. Why worry about anything. He’s fixed for life! No pressure, just a middle finger to LSU.
