I can see that. What I saw though this year was a tired old man. The first two years he had some fire. As time went on he just seemed to be ready to collect his paycheck and put little effort into coaching and even recruiting. Only Brian Kelly fully knows, but I think we can figure his timeline out on caring and energy.

The best story from last night's podcast with Jordy Culotta and Jacques Doucet was Jordy talking about riding his bike past BK's house around 12-12:30 on gameday against Florida and BK was just getting into his car to head to the facility.


I don't get people who do that. I had to fire a long tenured employee not too long ago because he was just coasting after we promoted him. Never become complacent it will bite you in the arse.

I honestly don't think BK was checked out (besides playing too much golf). He really wanted to win a NC, but I think he lacks the talent to be a HC that can win the big games consistently to do that.


Some coaches just lack the ability to get there team up for big games. It was the same with mark richt at GA before Kirby. The signs were there outside the bama gsme year 1.

Got embarrassed vs FSU in year 2 in a primetime big spot top 10 game

Getting blown out vs bama in a playoff eliminator game in year 3

Losing to vandy
Getting blown out vs A&M in a playoff eliminator game

He simply was not the guy you wanted on your sideline in big time matchups

Kelly had no P4/5 coaching experience before coming to LSU


I mean, that's not entirely accurate.

The Power 4/5 has always added the "+Notre Dame" caveat.
and they play 9-10 power 4/5 schools every year.

Sounds like he should take a job coaching at a school that puts academics first and all the football players are walk-ons.
