I’m not calling for his head but Kelly is likely 3 recruiting classes away from turn program around and competing on championship level. That would be Walker Howard’s senior year. Will LSU be patient enough to to let him do it?

Have you seen his buyout? He has 5 years at least

This assumes that he can/will be able to turn things around

He needs to do it faster considering what he’s being paid to do and the talent in this state.

I sure hope so. Could be looking at a heck of a run.

Dude has a $100mm contract - he gets all the time he needs.

Anyone expecting a good year in his first year after LSU had 39 schools players doesn’t live in reality.

Any hire should be judged in the direction of the program on year 3

The 10 year contract makes it seem likely

And it’s why he was signed long term. This is a damn rebuild. The program wasn’t in good shape and it’s gonna take time. If people would just accept that, maybe they could quit living and dying with every damn game and enjoy it for what it is.

Comical to even think about for a guy that never won jack shite but games at ND against weak competition. Here for at least 5 more seasons after this year. A $ 36 million buy out after 6 years would still be absurd.
Urban Myer with his 3 rings may have been worth that contract

He's got a 10 year $95 million contract and his buyout is 90% of his remaining salary. So...yes.

I’m not arguing with you but the announcer said Tenn. had 37 new players. I think we need to use the transfer portal better. The way things are now if your willing to spend the money you shouldn’t have to wait on QB to mature.

Yes, due to his Jimbo Fischer-level buyout, he will be here for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, for better or worse BK is our head coach for a while.

It’ll take some time (1-3 years), but he knows what he’s doing.

He’s not perfect for sure, but he’ll get us back to where we want to be.

I’m disappointed in the amount of knee jerk idiots in our fan base who are unable to understand this.
