Well, he’s slightly more optimistic than many on here looking at an 8-4 finish being more likely.


8-4 should get Kelly fired to the moon. Unacceptable

all the guys saying kelly must go are delusional. Who the frick would come up with the 50 million at a time where we are having to make cuts due to revenue sharing?

sec prolly gets 4 teams in this year anyways

but even if he doesnt make it...lets say they lose 3 very close games on the road...yall want him fired? right when we are getting the NIL part in order and getting everything back to what it was before O ran it off a cliff? wtf? plus pay 50 million?

fricking clueless

Who cares, figure it out. It’s year 4 and he promised championships. Next years team will be much worse

flush 50 million and form a complete rebuild after everyone transfers because we went 9-3 when our 4 hardest games are on the road? jesus Christ

8-4 or worse should get him fired.

10-4
9-3
9-4
8-4

Is a pattern

It won’t get him fired and you’re delusional if you think it will no matter how much you scream about it

again...who is paying the buyout?

real easy to run to TD and post it...but are you going to give 5 grand to it and then another 5 grand to get the new coach and then another 5 to help with NIL?

or is it one of those things where you have no skin in the game but want to kick and scream like a child.

listen things arent free.

I mean 9-3 isn’t really that unreasonable especially if we lose the Clemson game

We’ve got donors. Use the money we would have used in the portal and buy him out. Have one bad year and invest in the future. 2026 is likely a wash regardless

Hopefully, he is just tired of getting burned in us like he has the last two years. Still not a good sign, but he did say we could end up beating Clemson and going on a roll. I think he is just down on CBK.


He’s all-in on UF and Oklahoma, which is riskier than picking LSU. I’ll laugh hard at his crawfishing if they both frick up and fall flat.

we dont have 50 million. wtf do you not understand about that. and what if the donors that have to pay that feel different than you and feel we are building something

and is 2026 a wash? with the portal its never a wash

and its real easy for you to tell other people how to spend their money when you have zero skin in the game.

ill tell you what..ill take a ban bet that as long as BK doesnt lose 5 or more games the next two seasons he is still here in 27....deal? mark the post in your favorites.

This is what I keep telling friends of mine that think LSU will lose to Clemson then make the playoffs at 10-2. If we lose to Clemson we will no doubt lose at least 2 games in the SEC. Losing this game will mentally limit this team. And on the road @ Clemson is not as tough as a few other road games we have this year IMO.
