I was happy when all of them happened. Probably Kelly the happiest because I felt like we didn’t waste any time. When it was recognized that it wasn’t going to work, the move was made. No fricks given. And also recency bias I imagine.

I will never understand why people feel bad for millionaires. Jesus man, They don’t know what tough life is. Feel bad for the poor people who lose their job. Not the guy getting one of the biggest severance packages in college football history.

BK.

Les sucked at the end but his guys loved him, he had funny moments, and even if we got our asses kicked they played hard.

I knew I would flame out when we lost so much after 2019. I hated the extension but you kinda had to do it. He was a good story though.

Kelly has zero redeeming qualities, and I'm one that honestly hung in until Saturday night.

You’re right, you will never understand, because you have no empathy.

They’re still people. Is it as hard as losing your job when you can’t pay your bills? Of course not. But it’s still a tremendous disappointment that changes your entire life.

It doesn't cost you anything to be a decent person about it.

There's no debate in my mind -- I was both relieved and disappointed when Les was fired because he really loved being the LSU football coach but I was so tired of the letdowns his last few years. I was relieved and sad when O was fired because I genuinely liked him. But last night when Kelly was fired, I felt zero remorse, zero sympathy, nothing for him whatsoever. frick him. I genuinely despised him being the coach at LSU. He is such a dickhead and it was so painfully obvious that he did not give his all to LSU like the last two coaches did.

I hope the next coach gives his all to the program. I want him to be completely all in on and for LSU.

Perfectly stated! Agree 100%

Man I don’t even know how to digest that

No, I don’t feel bad for the dude. He failed at his job. He lost it. Now he’s rich.

You do you.

The happiest was definitely Les. He obviously could recruit which is probably what saved his job for so long but it was just so obvious he wasn’t ever going to adapt his offensive philosophy to reality. Even Saban by 2014 realized what was happening and brought in Kiffin. Meanwhile, Miles kept rolling out Cam Cameron and I thought LSU would never move on.

This one and it’s not even close. I still say O should have gotten another year. This had to happen now.

Les was just kinda depressing, because it really felt like the end of an era.

Probably O to he honest but that entire period of time was just a haze of bullshite.

They all have egos, regardless of the money. It would still hurt with your employer saying you services are no longer needed
This is my opinion
