That's not true. It was almost unanimously upvoted on here when he was hired.



All I remember are the countless Notre Dame fans who thanked us for taking him off their hands.

There were those too because they were tired of him and were bitter than someone would leave the great ND, but Kelly getting hired was extremely popular on here.

I will say though when he left ND they were 11-1 and still had an outside shot at the playoff, so they were more bitter than anything. He made ND relevant again. The only thing he didn't do was win an NC there and I'd be surprised if he wins one here either at this point.

Don’t speak so harshly of Miles.
If not for Saban at Alabama, Miles wins three or four more NC’s at LSU.
Brian Kelly is no where near as good as Les Miles!

“ 3-5 years would be my guess.

$10mm/yr is a lot of money to pay out fir multiple years for nothing. Then there’s the expense of hiring a new coach and staff.”

Can u imagine what having 3-5 yrs with this lame duck coach will do to recruiting?

Have we seen decent OL play since BK has been here?

I could go pull receipts from last week, but I don’t care enough.

You must have been part of the “4-0 & y’all are bitching” camp.

Fair points about Ed O, but at the end of the day roster management and talent evaluation are two sides of the same coin.

That’s because most people only have rear view vision and aren’t visionary at all.

The man was 60+ years old when he was hired. I’m basically the same age as Kelly. Everyone I know my age (the vast majority very successful in their careers) are all retiring and slowing down. We all, regardless of any one wants to admit it, lose a step in our 60’s. It’s just reality.

You don’t ever, ever give a man 60+ a 10 year guaranteed contract. Ever!

It was a stupid hire then, and even dumber now.

It worked with Mulkey, but then again she came in with Natty’s. Kelley didn’t and at this rate never will. There’s a reason he hasn’t - he’s not that good.

I won't believe enough people to be called a crowd seriously said LSU only needs to score 10 or more to win.

Probably

But mostly related to the hyperbole on this site. .

There are always exceptions to the rule (Mulkey / Saban). But… they are rare exceptions.

In Mulkey’s case she’s from here. Had great connections here. Understood how Louisiana works. Kelly had no clue. That’s why he cleaned house with everyone with Louisiana connections when he was hired and brought in a crew with no ties. He’s been scrambling ever since. He was a bad fit here. It is what it is.

What hyperbole?

We haven’t won anything in 5 years — do you think this team makes the playoffs?

If you haven't seen hyperbole on this site in the last few weeks, I assume anything I share would be dismissed by you. But here is one.

We won the SEC West in 2022.

Sweet so if your goal for this decade was to win a divisional championship with a Heisman QB and beat Purdue in the Cheez-It bowl, then we’re all set.

You sound like an aTm fan.

Divisions don’t even exist anymore & we are going to miss a 12-team playoff field . LSU has never played a CFP game.

Lol okay bud. Can’t see the forest for the trees.

What you did was move the goal posts to try and win an argument, but you’re lost in it. You’re only here because you’re defensive about being in the group of morons called out in OP.

Enjoy that 2022 division champs banner.

Look you were in the minority of fans who were dead wrong about this team.

Everyone here already knew to ignore your football opinions. There is no need to melt everywhere about it.

Now did you have a point to make, or are you just looking for an argument because your feelings are hurt? Remember, if you’re feeling down, we were 2022 west division / cheese-it champs.
