Forget Big Game Brian.

Rabalais column this week referred to his tenure as whack a mole.

Whack a Mole Kelly sounds good and is accurate.

This is very accurate. Everything he does is reactive. It’s like he has an inability to see a problem until it pops up and rears its ugly head. And by then the damage has already been done and that season is wasted.

You're exactly right, which is why he's in over his head in the SEC. This offense might have worked elsewhere but when it's going up against the best of the best each week, it's going to lose games. He has no idea what the fix is and I am genuinely convinced he has no desire to figure it out. I think he really feels like good enough is good enough because that's what he's used to.

The Rant knew the running game and OL was a problem after the La Tech and Florida games, Brian Kelly didn’t want to hear it.

The Rant knew LSU football was behind in the NIL game in 2023. Brian Kelly didn’t want to acknowledge that.

the Rant > Brian Kelly

This one is fair

Meh…in year one of House, it looked like a very solid hire. Year two…just went to shite

quote:

2024: NIL funding

This was an LSU issue. We pretended we were ready to embrace NIL…but our admin clearly didn’t understand NIL was basically a pay for play, not the Livy Dunnes of the world getting their own deals. After that a few more misfires and stumbles but appear to have righted the ship now.

Yeah this one is his most damning….the company line then was no Sloan, no underwood. Once we lost out there coupled with his shite playcalling last season, you should have gone out and gotten a more experienced (see not retarded) play caller….but here we are.

Poor guy can't catch a break and get it together.... But he's making $10MM a year so I don't think he really cares is the main problem.

Kind of like Orgeron only Kelly is a much more stable and organized leader

2023: NO running game outside of Jayden Daniels called runs and scrambles. 2024: NO running game with 4 NFL draft picks in the OL. 2025: NO running game. OL can't protect or get a push even against a 3 man front that Ole Miss used. It's grossly incompetent OL Coaching, combined with mostly SWAC level OL personnel. (Kardell Thomas types)

You can't see a problem if you aren't involved. He's not paying attention because he doesn't care. He's sitting in his office and collecting his retirement check.

You're being too gererous...This offense is shite. It didn't work against Sun Belt La Tech nor could we run against Southland Conf. SELU. And we barely beat what we now know to be an awful ACC Clemson team.

The fact that he's been trying to put the same round peg in a square hole for 5 weeks straight on Offense is maddening.

He is a shite coach with shite Offensive coaching...do not expect anything to change.

A CEO coach with a lack of foresight and judgement is like a designated hitter that can't hit.

Ole Miss makes the LSU offense look stupid with their very average defense.

Ole Miss beat us with backup QB while our offense looked like complete dog shite.

We’re 4-1 and we’ve beaten no one and got pistol whipped by a team that we were supposedly more talented than.

This is all on Brian Kelly. He got his little feelings hurt when a reporter questioned our pitiful running game and for the 3rd season in a row his team does not look like a playoff team.
