If he can, then why hasn’t he?

I hate it … but I agree with you, though. Tbe buyout on his contract is so high, there’s no one out there who is $50 Million better than CBK.

Shorter contract woulda been nice. More incentives for performance would have been nice.

Not realistic. BK is solid but not dynamic.

LSU is why it cost Penn State so much to get rid of Franklin. He used us as leverage to get a better deal from Penn State.

I'd like Blake Baker if Kelly would leave, but with no HC experience, that would not happen.

PSU 247 board mods have Elko on their list of coaches.

Supposedly Adidas had a lot of input in the Franklin firing and Elko is an adidas coach.

Please leave us in the lurch, Kelly. It’s OK. We’ll be OK.

We need good offensive coaches, oc and ol. Let Kelly recruit, motivate and manage the organization. That's all this team is missing. Oh, perhaps a healthy QB with a fiery personality on the field. A fighter, gritty and tough. Defensive staff is excellent.

Gruden has never coached in College at a high level. High risk, high reward, and I’m not willing to risk it. If that hire went south, LSU could go into the gutter for a long period. Yeah, Gruden would have good sound bites, but can he recruit, and navigate the portal and NIL era at an elite level? I seriously doubt it.
All this is true, but I'd take the risk.

He knows football.

Gruden and his Offensive Staff Selections, combined with the current LSU Defensive Staff would be killer IMO.

followed by LSU calling Cignetti. Stop hiring old fricks.


No sh!t

Why not Blake Baker or some up and coming coach

Saban wasn’t old or proven, probably the best hire ever for LSU. And somebody needs to give a contract 101 course to fukhead, you always include an escape clause

Call Mike Bobo and make him say no. 7 year contract worth $140 million would ensure he’d leave UGA.

There are 3 or 4 coaches in cfb with a better resume than Kelly. He may not win a title here but this notion that he is a shitty coach is fricking stupid and shows the ignorance of this board. He took over a shite Cincinnati and within 3 years had them good. He took over a shite ND and within 3 or 4 years had them losing 1 game. He took over the worst lsu roster in decades and with in 3 years has us back to being a good team.

I'm sorry if those FACTS shite on your opinion of Kelly. Deal with it.
