USC has had some really good defensive linemen over the years. Perhaps even more than LSU historically

The FSU game in 23 was the first major red flag. To be that utterly unprepared when you had all offseason to prepare made me question if BK was the guy you wanted on your sideline in marquee top 10 matchups.

Bama game last year was the breaking point. Do or die game at home against a rival and you get blown out that badly

As soon as Creative Services whipped up that disgusting hype video of him hopping off the PJ and entering Football Ops room to tell everyone he’s there to win a Natty.

Nail in the coffin was the fake accent at the Pmac. Everything else was foretold by those actions.

When it became apparent that he would never stress or achieve having a powerful run game. Last year we had a great OL and we were objectively poor running the ball. Just like a pitiful defense, that shite will not fly here.

Daniels was gone by then, he covered up a lot.

When my ND laughed out loud that we hired him. They were so happy, and explained to me exactly what we came to realize....to late.

When no one followed him to LSU from Notre Dame. It was like the Jerry Maguire scene, “Who is coming with me?”

Not that we lost but the way we lost soured me on him after the Georgia SEC championship game. Our team not even knowing what was a live ball after a missed field goal just made me see purple. That was coaching and nothing else.

When he and JD5 didn’t seem to have a bond. Made me look at who he did bond with and that was nobody.

Shouldn't a player know that before playing on a college team?

Everything, Suddenly......

became crystal clear

at the end of

the first half

of the Texas A&M game

Last Year!

Kelly signalled, foretold Everything in those last 70 seconds of that 1st Half. I'll never forget what Kelly did, or rather "did'nt do"! It was "surreal" to watch/witness Kelly's decision "to fold" - unfold! For it was soo utterly shocking, stupefying to fathom, that it "took some time" for everyone to actually process + believe! In complete confusion, LSU's offense, which was fixing to score, was so confounded by what Kelly had just decided.....that they stood frozen on the field in disbelief!

LSU had dominated & was winning the game. They had just tactfully executed a spectacular drive down to the A&M 42 with 70 seconds remaining. With A&M gassed & on their heels, LSU clearly had both the confidence & momentum and was poised to score again. Demoralizing additional points, just before the half, in front of their own fans @ Kyle Field which certainly appeared/felt would be the final blow/nail in the coffin!

To everyone's utter shock, disbelief......Kelly "took a knee" with LSU driving....on the A&M 42 with 70 seconds left on the clock! Not only did Kelly instantly YANK/CRASH the powerful Momentum we had and would have held to Win that extremely important game; But he literally exorcised the very Heart & Soul of his Team + Players!!

I immediately knew/saw/felt it - then & there - the DRASTIC Effect & Implications it would spell/hold for not just THAT game, but would (and did) KILL the excitement, enviable spot/rank LSU was currently in..... but it was an "omen" that I knew/read would ruin the very high, likely hopes for a truly special season!!

You can directly trace, track it back to those deflating & destructive moments @ the "End of the A&M First Half - 2024" to see/spell the Beginning of the End for Kelly, LSU's Team as a whole Performance steadily decline & end in demise. Also notice at that same time.....several KEY players Performance/Play suddenly + steadily decline (especially Nuss, but others as well)!! Kelly killed the team & players!

If you doubt the serious ramifications of that particular point/time.....you simply need to go back to it and rewatch, investigate, obtain the historical stats/data/evidence - from that precise moment & INSANE Decision Kelly made.......then go forward! The stats/data/record (proof) is irrefutable!

I started a thread after the aTm game last year asking "after 2.5 seasons can you see BK winning us a NC"or something like that, I said that I couldn't and listed my reasons, it ended up being like 10 pages with it being maybe 55% no and 45% yes. That game was the final straw for my hope in him

I knew after the 3 game losing streak last year that he would never win a title here. It wasn't until we lost to Vandy that I knew he would be exiting early. After aTm I had a feeling he wouldn't be here next year, but I thought he'd finish the season.

I was a skeptic when the Matt House stuff arose, and then lost complete confidence when he promoted Joe Sloan to the OC spot. I think that's when BK checked out. Laziest hire I've ever seen a HC make

That’s me. I left that USC game how the frick did we lose to this team. And kept saying the roster this, the roster that etc. and then we got a roster. This bitch had this team looking soft and ill prepared after saying we paid $18m for it, after saying he has receipts, after saying this was a championship roster. Then catches a hissy fit about a question aimed at his shitty offense. I defended him all the way up to that point.

When he couldn't self asses himself after FL game and called LSU fans spoiled. He is blind to the product and his coaching. Couldn't take the pressure
