Kelly is making 10 million a year. He isn’t afraid of expectations and it’s ok for us not to be happy with 4 losses in the first 10 games.

Agree....

A new HC or OC can't fix talent deficiencies caused by injury or transfers.

I don't think anyone can say this team has equal talent to the 22 or 23 teams.

I think 5 years is fair.

Is it though? Because almost every team in the league is capable of beating anyone in the league, it makes the whole conference bad? I don't really see it that way.

Yep. Our fan base is really tough to deal with.

They will simultaneously celebrate all of the other sec schools losing, but still think we should win out.

Despite week after week parity presenting itself and the realization of the new college landscape, most still think we should win every single game despite still building our roster.

Support the team, celebrate the good, note the bad and help LSU improve. We love to immediately turn to “fire the coach” when it’s not the best solution for many reasons.

When he sits up there at the lectern and smacks his lips with all the condescension and arrogance while telling us "Judge me by year 3", I'm gonna judge him by year 3.
And then to turn in this fricking soggy potato of a season, with all of the mental errors and physical softness, one might be able to understand the anger towards him.

I'm not sure how you don't understand that.

I really can’t stand this quote. Actually makes my skin crawl at how everyone has latched on to it.

Let it go, we didn’t meet expectations this year.

Are you going to run the same shtick next year? “It’s year 4!” How many programs did BK take over previously with 35 scholarship players?

I thought we would have found some tall big bodied wide receivers and some linemen and some bruising running backs for this year , but the cupboard was bare . I think BK needs to put down the golf clubs and take more responsibility for recruiting and portal management .

It's not even just the coaches. These jokers on here would fire the water girls if they could. They can't control their emotions, and get all in their feelings, then they just want to burn everything down. Also LSU is always backup U.

We possibly have the dumbest fanbase in all of college football. We went from losing seasons and a complete train wreck of a program after orgeron ran it into the ground. He takes us to the sec championship his first year. Since the last few coaches won championships in their 3rd year then he’s failing apparently. Now, most of these fans wanted the current QB who has been awful, to have started ahead of the Heisman winner. Kelly deserves some criticism for sure. But this fanbase is fricking awful. If this team wants to get better, they need to spend a ton of money on players. Welcome to the new age of college football. Most players don’t give a frick about LSU. They come here for the money or they don’t come here at all.

The LSU fanbase is special. I'll leave it at that.

I wish I could be paid $10M a year three years into a new job and still conveniently blame my predecessor for losses under my leadership.

This is the type of stupidity some of yall bring here. When did he ever blame O? There’s just logical people who remember when there was a WR playing qb for this team in a bowl game and majority of the player bolted and hit the transfer portal and we barely were able to field a team for the game. That’s where LSU was. Crazy how people forget.

I never said that Kelly blamed Ed O, but there are sure a bunch of fans that continue to blame Ed O on Kelly’s behalf and seem willing to allow a guy (Kelly) paid $10M a lower level of accountability. It’s year 3, the year in which Kelly challenged the base to judge him and well, here we are in year 3 with losses to a 5 loss USC, 3 loss Bama, 5 loss UF and 3 loss A&M.

I haven’t forgotten the shape the disastrous O left the program, but I am also not wanting to condition myself to just accept the current state under Kelly as it’s not good enough.

We as fans always are proud we are in the SEC. Week after week we play tough games against teams as good as we are. If it was easy all these great programs would not all be sitting here at 3 losses. Maybe you want to join the Big 12 or Big 10 and play 2 tough games a year and we all can brag about being 11-1. SEC games for the most part are very entertaining and fun. So let’s fire Kelly and hire the Alabama or Texas Am coach then in 3 years we could do it again. All you young guys learn to enjoy the games and stop the bitching and realize we all start over next September. By the way I would love to be 11-1 too

We do not have enoughelite talent on defense or offense. It is the roster that is a big part of the problem. Safeties and most CB's are not above average SEC talent. Not sure if they are average SEC talent. Kelly came in with a small roster and then NIL and the portal popped up and confused the situation. WE have to have a better defense to be competative! Bottom line.

No one in the fanbase is happy about losing 4 games, I promise (besides the ones that would rather be right about BK being bad than LSU win). Wanting him fired right now is not ok

I agree! I had high hopes for this year just like everyone else, but lets face it….with a new DC, new first time OC, and a first year starting QB we were going to struggled!!

Its not weak. Parity has increased thru additions/subtractions of with the open portal rules. Lets see how the CFP plays out.

Kelly has only had 2 full recruiting cycles so 2 more is what I am waiting to see, but I am 53 have something called patience. You kids should learn what that is or you are gonna age really quickly!
