We absolutely were ready for him to be gone prior to 2019. Sure there were fans that were happy we were no longer in the Davie-Willingham-Weis years, but it was clear early he wasn't the answer. He dumbed down the schedule, still lost to Tulsa at home, never had teams ready for big games, and got blown out every time the spotlight was out. He also killed a kid and is the only ND coach to vacate wins, so there's that.

He's not struggling. This is exactly who he is. This is who ND fans that came over to this forum to warn you about. He's a narcissist, who when questioned, will immediately tell you how smart he is because of how long he's been a coach. I've seen a couple of posts about him changing, or when will he make changes...he won't, a quick Google search of "get used to it Brian Kelly" will tell you this is who he is and he won't change anything unless forced by your AD. Yall thought we were sad, bitter, and in denial when we told you we weren't mad he was gone. Y'all tried to say he built a culture or foundation at ND which Freeman took. None of that was true then, none of it is true now, and it will be the same at LSU when he leaves.

Hiring a DC and actually mentoring him as a coach or to take over as a coach are completely different things. Freeman installed his system and ran his own defense. A complete overhaul from the previous defenses run under BK. The analysis that the current program has anything to do with KeLLLLy is complete fiction and wishful thinking by folks that think he is a good coach. Denbrock may be a KeLLLLy product, but I'm hoping Denbrock moves on (wishful thinking probably).

54 players and 9 coaches including the OC and DC that were part of BK teams are not part of the current program. Plain and simple, this isn't the program BK left. Mentality, culture, and traditional aspects of ND football have been restored from the teardown that BK performed. Which includes lowering the academic standards.

BK culture is not being ready for big games, taking the ball when you win the toss and doing nothing on the first drive, first drive false starts, burning TO's in the first quarter, taking a knee at the end of the first half, QB regression, having teams that don't play full games, vacating wins, and killing kids by putting them in scissor lifts during extreme winds. I always liked watching LSU teams of the past, but BK will turn you into LLLLSU before he's competitive in the National Title picture.

This is not a KeLLLLy team and the vast majority of guys getting PT are not BK guys. Of 22 starters, 16 were never part of the program under BK. Freeman isn't doing this with BK players, he's developed the talent and brought in some transfers in impactful positions and changed the culture. ND doesn't false start as much, they look ready to play at the start of games, they don't hang it up after a good half or after a bad half, and they never feel out of a game. The impending doom of KeLLLLy taking the ball to start the game and going 3 and out is gone. Players looking lost is gone. Post game press conferences of BK losing his shite is gone. Terrible use of timeouts on an every game basis gone. Marshall last year and NIU this year are baffling losses, only having 10 guys on the field against OSU was baffling. But MF seems to be doing something that BK never did, learn from the disasters.

Oh yeah, ND had vacated wins and BK got a kid killed.
