re: ND fan here

low risk/consistency to high risk/high reward at QB to win at LSU.

To win titles at LSU...just to be more clear.

Here's something about BK that I didn't mention before. Kelly rarely loses a game when he has the more talented team. Just look at ND's losses over the last four years - he lost two games when we had more talent, stanford in 2017 (they were actually good but less talented) and this year against Cincy (awful coaching job by ND and Ridder basically was the difference).

I know this sounds idiotic to a casual fan but that's just not the case with many coaches out there. That is the worst part about losing BK. He was probably never going to win a title at ND but we weren't going to lose games to an average opportunistic team.

He's going to have the most talented team 11 games a year or more with LSU.

Exactly what I thought. LSU gots a good one.

Lol, you think Saban is the guy beating the recruiting trail at this point in his career?

He does as much or more than any coach in America

Nobody thinks Saban is beating the pavement, but his “Buffers (Alabama has lot of Buffers) and Soldiers are out there doing the groundwork with lots of power and bags of money, then they meet The Godfather and he offers them “An Offer they can’t refuse” in Awe of the MAN they reply with a commitment.

You're correct Heist. If I recall correctly, BK was very hands on during his initial years at ND. He will need to do the same at LSU. At least BK is an SME on one side of the ball.

Rumor was that it was a done deal he would be the next coach. Those were from good sources. That's not what it sounded like to me at the presser this morning. The presser this morning was a disaster and made BK look like a saint for dealing with their bullshite for so many years.

I was honestly shocked how bad that press conference went. It was just embarassing.

I honestly hope BK wins at LSU just to prove a point to ND. They have their head so far up their own asses sometimes it makes it hard to be a fan. The administration aside, I'm not a salty ND fan. I don't like the way this all happened but haven't lost sight on the fact that BK took ND out of football purgatory.

I have no clue if BK wins a title at LSU. I hope so unless it's against ND. At worst, he leaves your program in a better position than he found it and the next guy can win one. I know that's not enough at LSU but that's b/c you bastards are spoiled. Joking, kinda.

I am actually curious how BK will handle the expectations. ND has high expectations but it's different. ND was so bad for so long, just getting them back into a consistent top 10 team was a tall task. He could rely on ND's admissions standards as a credible excuse for not winning the big games and ND admin will not be dictated to by rabid fans so he knew he could keep his job by simply winning ten games from now until he retired.

Gonna be real different at lsu.

To “Here for the heist”

Cheers for your clinical and well-communicated analysis. Some of the best seen on this board.
Hope you will join our ranks on Tigerdroppings for regular observations as the Kelly era moves ahead.

I regret sharing this.

Basically correct. BK played a big role in recruiting, got comfy and relied more on staff. shite went sideways and he did recommit himself to recruiting more over the last four years.

The 22 and 23 class provide some proof for that, but I think those rankings are more b/c of Freeman than anything else. If you guys can land him, huge blow to ND and huge gain for you. I'm not even crazy about his scheme...he's just a lunatic on the trail. Credit to him.

Thanks for all the Info! Truly incredible. Basically forwarding everything to my idiot friends who don't like the hire
