re: Love to hear from Kelly diehards

13 players don’t make a program clown. We have glaring holes in the program that we tried to fill with mofos that had no business in an lsu uniform. Ed left this program a mess and it’s gonna take time to fill those holes with the right guys and also develop them. We can be upset all we want but if u can’t see the talent deficiency idk what to tell un

It means a hell of a lot clown and we’re currently 8th nationally in talent ranking so keep throwing out those canned excuses that were invented by other morons on this board but you’ll never escape the facts.

I was a big fan of the Kelly hire really for the same big reasons anyone would be - if he could make a BCS championship game at ND then I believed he could do it at LSU. That seemed to make sense right?
Year 1 10 wins and a Bama win and SEC championship game berth who wouldn’t be happy? His best season easily.
Year 2 - 10 win season. Heisman winner. Yet my opinion has soured. It’s hard to stomach knowing if we didn’t have the worst defense on planet earth we should have won a natty this year. But shite we will take it right? Heisman winner. 10 wins. Fired Matt house and made all these coaching upgrades. Nice.
Year 3. We get jack and shite from the portal. Hello Kelly anyone home? wtf. We lose to a bad USC squad for the third opener loss in a row. BUT the Ole Miss game is awesome - I went and shite we had a good time. Maybe the sky isn’t falling? Oh Nevermind then comes 3 losses in a row which are all bad and on national television prime time and for two of them our holes are absolutely stretched. And it ain’t over yet folks.
Final thoughts - I think we would be in a much better position had Kelly not made catastrophic staff decisions when he first came on board. We are still suffering the consequences of Brian Polian as recruiting coordinator, of not retaining Baker and Raymond and Moffitt. Is it possible to turn around? Appears maybe if the recruits don’t all jump ship while they’re watching us on national television get absolutely railed in the poop chute.
Why did we do jack and shite in the portal this year? It worked his first year. Why not this year? Who fricked that up and why?
I’m finally on board with Kelly seeming clueless - how could he think Nuss was just going to be amazing tonight? Why did he say that? Is he delusional?
I don’t know if Kelly can recover. And his 10 mil a year contract seems absurd now. But what’s the alternative? Who do you get who you think can win a natty for less than that? shite Stoops at Kentucky makes 9! frick!

Not what I asked. Let me put it this way, ARE YOU patient with what you've seen in the last three games?


Really asking.


Don't tell me you have no choice. Sure you do. Are you ok or aren't you with what you have seen in the last three weeks from this team? If you are, why? If not, why?

To answer your question should fans be patient and the answer is yes. Look at how many programs fired a coach only for the program to be set back years. Some never recovered ( Nebraska) while others took over a decade (Texas). If Kelly was not recruiting well and the team not performing, that is a different story.

Last year the defense as atrocious but the offense was remarkable. LSU won 10 games. This year the defense is better while the offense has stalled.

I don't see the OL getting whooped tonight. They ran the ball very well. The OL was pushing the DL and Durham was getting nearly 6 yards a pop. Yes there were a lot of sacks but that came from blitzes against a QB that is a statue and the interior of the line playing new guard. A healthy Dellinger would have made a difference I feel.

What positions specifically are we lacking talent

Skill positions look like shite aside from Durham.

This is sarcasm right? Like this has to be a joke.

I don't personally see the point of continuing to melt about it.

It's been the same thing for the last month. Actually worse.



That doesn't concern you? And don't say "I don't have a choice."


As a fan, you either are or aren't ok with what you've been seeing for the last month. I'm not trying to catch you in some sort of "gotcha" moment and I'm not calling for Kelly to be fired but if you honestly feel okay with what you've seen and think Kelly has been earning that contract, that's crazy.


You have said twice now that you blame most of it on the initial defensive hires but then you say "it seems to have been rectified."

How has it been rectified? Really asking.

I don’t know what exactly is the problem. I just know we suck. And I think the overall talent is just not there. I see a ton of mistakes from players who are in position to make plays.
