I don’t know how Scott Woodward didn’t recognize this while vetting him.

frick Brian Kelly. There isn't a situation where someone can say enough bad things about him as a man.

He was a shitty coach and a shitty man.

Scott's hire fell through at the last minute and he needed a big name fast. He looked the other way with Brian Kelly and hired the name instead of the coach.

What has Scoot Woodward ever done that would warrant those expectations?

One Loser to another.

Kelly is and will always be a fraud. He only cares about himself.

Ole Miss fans on X are having a meltdown over the statement but Lane has already tried to mesh with the fans and donors so much more than Kelly did in five years

Coach O was the opposite. He wanted everyone around. Blondes, brunettes, redheads, etc.

Verge: We all agree on BK. Keep it to yourself you want him to get hired again to help with contract offset. Nothing good comes from airing his dirty laundry.

I will never forget walking out of the stadium that glorious night in early November 2022 after we beat Saban and Bama feeling like we were one year away from another national title. I really believed we had hired the right person.

Next week we squeak by a bad Arkansas team playing with a backup freshman QB due to KJ Jefferson's injury. I attributed it to the freezing arse temps and a road SEC game the weekend after beating Bama. Then two weeks later, we get handled by a terrible Aggie team in a game that was worse than the score. That's when I knew it was a worse version of Les Miles.

BK has no interest in working again. Hammer away at his arse.

It's like our AD enjoys paying BK's contract. Verge should be acting as BK's PR team, telling everyone how he was a wonderful coach who could still be successful if someone would just hire him. Instead, we make sure everyone knows about the affair, drinking, golf, vacations, and being an a-hole.

Hiring Chris Peterson who was top 3-4 football coach at the time from Boise to Washington. Also easy to play the hindsight game but getting Jimbo to A&M was seen as a big time hire.
