He IS going somewhere else if we don't make the CFP. There will be a Retirement or Resignation with a Settlement a la Orgeron.


O's buyout wasn't anywhere close to what BK's would be after this season...which would be roughly ~$50M or so. I doubt BK would leave that much on the table by resigning...even if LSU wanted him to, and I think even if he were to take a "settlement", like O did, it would be MUCH higher than the ~$17M O agreed to.

LSU is not going to commit tens of millions to fire BK, an additional few million to fire his staff, commit tens of millions to bring in a new HC and staff, AND commit ~$20M for a roster next season.

Unless he absolutely wants to leave on his own accord, BK is here for at least another 2 seasons

Would be nice if LSU had a head coach that was a respected genius on either side of the ball.

Reading on twitter that everybody wants Brian Kelly fired, Who would y’all want to see as his replacement? It seems like Dan Lanning would be the dream hire.


Keep dreaming until you find that $70 mil you will need to get rid of him…

You think Norvell would come to LSU. After last year's 2-10 season FSU was patient with him. Last year was all on Norvell. He just lost to Virginia.
