Was somewhat skeptical from the start but in his second year I started feeling he wasn't going to win a championship. His records over his tenure here has proven what he will be year in and year out.

We as a fanbase memory holed his past because the state the program was in when we hired him but this has always been who he is.

Watching him on the sidelines when he was still at Notre Dame, as well as his teams’ records at ND, plus knowledge that he was 60 when Woody hired him.

First game. Daniels drives ~99 yards to score, and Kelly choses to kick to tie with a kicker who already choked on an easy FG. We lose by 1 because he blows the extra point. I knew we would be in years of this miserable shite.

Complete and utter shite show of the 2023 defense with zero improvement all season. If they just worked on tackling in practice that defense would have improved over the absolute worthless crap that showed up on the field every week.

When he was formally introduced at the PMAC and spoke in that awful, fake southern accent.

Right then and there I knew this guy was not authentic and was a fraud.


There’s been signs and indicators along the way.

The USC game itself wasn’t so bad. His pounding on the table afterwards was much worse. It was again, inauthentic. And it was misplaced and indicative of a guy who didn’t know what to do.

His blowing up on Cauble was another example. He should have acknowledged the problems on this team. He should have set the stage that it would take a monumental effort between now and the end of the season to become what this team needed to become. Instead he tried to make the case that the team was better than it was and that those questioning it were a problem.

He is lost. Today he started his press conference by praising the fans for their support on road trips like that. It was like a cliche, chapter 1, coach speak example.

He won’t solve this. Someone else will solve this for him or he will fail to do what Ed Orgeron and Les Miles were able to do.

When he fired O's Special Teams Coach and Strength and Conditioning Coach. Then we lost the Fla State game because of Special teams. Then we have been pushed around for three years by teams with superior strength. Its still happening.

Nothing says inept like seeing the results on the field.

Because Nick won championships. He could do stuff like that. BK lies and says things will get better or they’ll work on things and they never do. And that’s why he’s never going to go anywhere and why he shouldn’t be dancing and making himself look like a fool.

The same coach keeps trotting Ramos out for 50+ yard field goals when he and everyone on both sides of the ball know he can barely manage 40 to 45 yard kicks max with any kind of efficiency.

Idc what anyone says or how much hindsight is 20/20.

When he didn’t make an effort to vet the existing defensive staff & wound up hiring two of them back — well, that didn’t seem great.

When Saban raped his team in 2013


That’s not fair. His team was simply outmatched. Saban’s team raped LSU in the NC game the year prior.

That’s silly. You have to expect your kicker to make an extra point. Actually it’s been the opposite problem with BK. He keeps going for 4th downs instead of kicking FGs and it rarely has worked.
