You comment is juvenile. You must be very young.

postgame locker room speech posted on Tiger Droppings
For those of us who have been around a while, my first thought when I saw this was…
Did it start with “Jordy, get the hell out of here!”

That’s my point exactly.
Alot of y'all are emotional and I get that, you're fans. Fans are always super high or super low during the ebbs and flows of a season. Coaches and people who have played the game view things very differently than fans do.
First of all, it would be a terrible idea to pit one side of the ball against the other. If you want to fracture one team into effectively two different teams, go ahead and do that. If LSU is going to win, it's going to take team efforts moving forward and driving a dividing line between offense and defense is not a way to promote unity on your football team.
Second, sometimes teams need to have their butt ripped by the head coach and other times, they need to be propped up and supported. Think about how many times you saw Nick Saban hammer his team after wins and stump/support them after losses. If you have a team and their confidence is rattled, which the offense clearly is at this point, shredding them further and kicking them in the teeth while their down oftentimes will make things worse. Think about your own life for a minute. If you're actually trying really hard and things just aren't clicking and your wife or boss comes in after a really tough meeting and berates you further, it doesn't help matters much particularly if the problems aren't related to a lack of effort.
Third, y'all have completely lost perspective on where LSU was and where it is now. LSU was a .500 football team for two years in a row and now, we're back to being a relevant football program again. Now, can Kelly get us over the top? That remains to be seen, but to pretend that he didn't absolutely stabilize the ship is just intellectually dishonest.

I’m going to guess most of you who disagree with my topic aren’t well experienced in leadership. It’s what I’ve done for 40 years. I can tell you right now, this is not how you inspire and motivate anyone. If you blame the productive people for the failures of the unproductive people you are basically telling them their production, no matter how valuable, isn’t enough because they also have to produce at a level to cover the unproductive people. But when you reward productive people and demand the unproductive to produce at their level you raise the entire organization’s production.
This is a pretty arrogant statement from you tbh. "Agree with me or you're wrong because I've done something not related to managing a football team for 40 years." It's also not apples to apples. In the business world, if someone isn't cutting it, you fire them and get someone else who will. In college football, you have the team you have and you have to try and make them as productive as possible. If you had a salesman and he was trying really hard but was just struggling, your superior management style would be to berate this person in front of the rest of the staff and make him the whipping boy for the entire organization? His confidence is already rattled so let's make everyone around him hate him as well. Keep in mind, you can't fire this guy and you need him to be productive for you. Yeah, I'm sure that'll really get him turned around and producing how he needs to.

They responded to the offense’s TD drive by allowing an 18 play drive.
The defense gave up
3rd and 6
3rd and 5
3rd and 11
4th and 1
3rd and 9
3rd and 14
4th and 3 to ice the game
People are fooling themselves if they think the defense played lights out. Yes, it's only 24 points.
But that's also 500 yards on 11 possessions total. And OM essentially knelt the ball on their final possession that could've ended in another TD.
(For comparison, Clemson had 10 possessions and Florida has 12)

Nobody cares what you think man, same with me.
You’re talking about an 80-100 million series of transactions like its Monopoly money. It’s not.
Luckily for LSU, our donor class are smart people (imagine that people with millions are smart) and realize buying (retaining) players is the best value for “our” resources. It’s also why they funded the expanded support staff. Good investment.
So nobody is buying Kelly out, not going to happen.

If anyone has issues with that speech, they just have an agenda or hate Kelly. There was nothing wrong with the speech.
Everything can't always be positive. If this were a game that you should have lost anyway, that speech would be different. If the team had played their heart out and just got beaten by a superior team, the speech would have been different. But this team has the same or a superior level of talent as Ole Miss, and the offense was awful in the first half; the defense made some mental errors in the second that put the game out of reach at the end.

Not a single thing wrong with what BK said. He told them like it is. That’s what a coach should do. These guys are getting paid now, they need to be ready to act like professionals and play like it, especially the big money guys like Nuss.

But the defense on here gets too much credit
Yes. Not saying the defense isn’t good and it seems to be much improved, but it’s padded its stats against a bad Clemson offense, a Florida offense that is worse than LSU’s and 2 directional schools. The one offense with a pulse it faced, it did not appear to be elite.

The biggest improvement I have seen defensively is the reduction in giving up big plays! That is partly due to more players around the ball, etc. However, the tackling is not elite (to be fair, tackling everywhere seems to be a lost art) AND it certainly didn't look good when Ole Miss pushed the pile literally about 6 yards around the goal line when they had the ball. The turnovers caused have been better but probably the best judge of a defense is 3rd down conversions allowed. That has been a problem for years and still is. If the team has say a 3rd and 6 or longer, you should be able to get off the field. But in this game, it was that "run a slant and stop" that LSU couldn't defend. I assume they were playing zone and if so you gotten tighten up the zone. Losing a game on an umpteen play drive is still losing the game. Oh, and the pass rush was absolutely pathetic. As McElroy said, "their late blitzing is coming too late."

Tell me you’ve never played sports without telling me you’ve never played sports. This is the type of TD posting that confirms you didn’t listen or understand the message. Let me ask you this we have the winningest active coach in football who has a proven track record who you gonna replace him with. In the end doesn’t matter who you hire you are depending on teenagers to go out and execute a game plan. Agree or not LSU has put together one of the best coaching staffs in the country. And yes we are spoiled for some reason we’ve come to expect that we should go undefeated and I’m sorry in the current college football I think that’s going to be tougher then ever with coach and player turnover.

People are suggesting that allowing 24 points is solid, I think.
The problem is that it probably easily could have been—or even should have been—38 points. They chose not to score at the end of the game to keep the ball out of our hands. And they turned the ball over inside the 5 (which admittedly was a good play to strip the ball by Haulcy, I believe), but they were very close to scoring there….
So 24 is a bit of fool’s gold
