LSU was close to this home run hire. He would have brought a QB from the portal. LSU’s offense would look completely different and defenses would be guessing.

I thought Kelly was an X and O coach who would bring discipline and organization. But for the first half of the season all I see is sloppy play and stubbornness.

Offensive output runs college football. "Ball control" offenses that focus on no turnovers are where offense goes to die.

If you cant throw downfield you are automatically handicapped.

He is a slightly more modern Les Miles, without the lovable personality.

He's stubborn as hell.

USC schedule vs LSU schedule
So Cal life vs Louisiana life

Decision was made on these two things.

Agree lack of discipline and what appears to be chaos on ST is very troubling.

I have to agree. Should have ponied up for Lincoln. I doubt he would've come here because of how quickly our fanbase turns on coaches. So, BK has my support, but I am wary of his stubbornness like you said.

USC will start losing next week and will especially be destroyed by UCLA.

The Riley hire is a fluke. He’s playing cupcakes out West with superior talent. LSU is in major rebuilding mold.

Riley’s team had its hands full with Washington State last night for 3 quarters. Same mediocre shite but he wins by playing a soft schedule

Would have loved Riley as a hire.

He chose USC which sucks but he hasn’t had to play a Top 25 team yet and when he does it will be the incredibly overrated Utah.

Bringing in Caleb Williams as a transfer would’ve been a much smarter decision than bringing in JD. This decision will go down as the worst Kelly has ever made.

Honestly, not going to lie, I'm really already getting tired of watching BK's offensive philosophy in these games. Yeah, our team sucks and it's not as talented as it should be but jesus christ if you can't see the Les Miles comparisons then you're blind.

I seriously can't deal with another 10 years of that which for our sake, I hope is not the case. He will change it if it doesn't work. Surely? I hope? Can't say I'm any less concerned he's already showing signs of being stubborn by how he's handling JD and Nuss. He didn't do a great job with QBs at ND either. I'm starting to think this hire may not have been as good as I thought.

I see no reason why we can't expect a good team next year considering how the portal is currently setup with no ship limits for transfer portal/recruiting right now. He can purge whoever he thinks is not worth it on the roster and sign 50 players if he wants as long as he's under the 85 man. Tenn already rebuilt in year 2 of a purge you can't tell me LSU should expect any less with all the elite players that go to the portal every year. Find a QB, a TE, and 1-2 OL you should be excellent on offense next year.

And the people who are on here bitching about Kelly’s offense would have screamed bloody murder about Riley’s defense or lack of it.

First of all no way could LSU or any school compete with the financial and incentive package USC threw at Riley. They paid him $1 mil for his houses in Oklahoma plus giving him $6.5 mil in housing assistance. Plus giving him a huge salary and private use of the jet. Living in Cali is better than BR for him.

Kelly will bring discipline to the program. Let’s give him a chance. Saban in his first year at LSU and Bama had lots of discipline issues. Hell the UAB loss was bc Booty called an audible for a play that did not exist.
