re: Why a 10 year contract?

So he’s worth top dollar and expected to go 6 wins, possibly last in the west. Which would be 2 years in a row?
His previous success suggest he is worth top dollar. Absolutely. How is Kelly responsible for 6 wins last year? What does that have to do with how much he's getting paid to coach this year? Do you realize the roster turnover LSU has had? Do you realize the culture issues that were created by the last coaching staff? This year was/is going to be a struggle, regardless of who is coaching. We are paying him to change the culture and fix the issues. That is not going to happen over night.

Yet you’re looking at -2 to Arkansas in football…

LSU doesn’t care to go bargain shopping for a head coach.

You are a moron. Let's ignore the coach who has put together the best winning percentage in all of CFB, mostly at a prestigous Notre Dame, and go after one coach who is just in his third year and another that has never coached beyond the Sun Belt because YOUR eyes tell you so.

BK, no need to get worked up here.

I want what’s best for LSU too. Do you see BK at LSU in 10 yrs? I don’t, and that’s immediately why I think it’s silly
I see him here till he retires. Whenever that may be. What about Brian Kellys past suggest to you that he will be a failure?
Certainly you aren't ignoring 30 years worth of coaching and forming an entire opinion based on one game right?

To get a coach like Brian Kelly to leave a school like Notre Dame it has to be a massive deal. Lots of years and lots of money.
It really is that simple.
If you want to say you wouldn’t have given him that…well that wasn’t quite your question. I don’t think he leaves for a 5 year deal elsewhere.

I said 6. He would have been a fool not to come to LSU for 60 mil guaranteed after a natty winning coach.
Also nobody really knows what BK made at ND. It was always speculation. ND will never pay 10 mil for a coach and maybe that’s why BK left.

The length of the contract projects confidence and a sense of a clear direction well into the future. Brian Kelly’s agent pushed for it, as well, I imagine.

But in your OP you said he is a 10 mil coach, but you were questioning the 10 years. You've contradicted yourself ever since.

A traditional powerhouse at which he couldn’t win a Natty. Looking at their recruiting rankings he vastly oversold the whole “I couldn’t get my players” schtick.

But neither of the coaches you are knighting for have won national titles either.

I know you are widely known here for being a complete idiot, but even you can't be so dumb as to think ND had the same caliber athletes that the SEC has.

Because that's probably what it took to get him here. He isn't getting fired so it's with giving it to him if that's what it took

At Baylor and ULL - and Aranda missed the CFP by one game last year.

You can't use Brian Kelly has never won a NC as a reason to think he's the wrong hire and then turn around and say two coaches who have never even been in the playoffs are better. You are moving the bar all over the place to fit your narrative.

So you think he's worth paying 10 mil a year, but shouldn't get longevity? That makes no sense
Sure it makes sense. But it doesn’t reflect the market, and he would not have left ND. If you want an established coach you have to both pay and accept all the risk.

In addition to enticing him to come, we also don’t want Alabama to poach him after we win his first national championship and Saban retires.

So after reading a lot of retarded responses, the main reason the money and longevity had to be in that contract was because if it wasn't, we would've ended up with a sub par hire. Woodward knew he couldn't afford that with the direction the program was headed. He was trying to prevent LSU from becoming the Tennessee of the West. He also just fired a coach who won a championship 2 years ago. Any coach worth his salt would require guaranteed longevity. Sure he could've tried the Napier experiment but it would've been just that, an experiment. Woodward knew he couldn't afford a failed hire. Regardless of what we all saw Sunday night, Brian Kelly's hire made much more sense than Napier or Aranda. It's hard to believe that this has to be said but it was one game and the very first one at that. The success of Brian Kelly at LSU won't be determined by that one game or by most games this year. He's building a foundation. It doesn't happen overnight.
