Is This the Beginning of the End of the Brian Kelly Era at LSU?

[@TacosForever9000]

As a ND fan, we thank you for taking him.

[@Mostly_Peaceful_Irish]

Us ND fans tried to warn you. You thought you stole him away, but we were glad you did.

[@WillGettinToIt]

Facts. We tried to tell them from the beginning😂😂😂. I want to thank BK for giving us Freeman 💯

[@trascents866]

As a ND fan living in bama I’m so glad he left Nd lol I was just telling a bunch of Alabama fans yesterday not one Notre Dame fan was upset about him leaving … do Irish ☘️

[@timpetta2974]

Yeah, we can count your nattys on no hands.

[@johnvelasco2692]

You were so right

[@braddavid902]

Yeah I’m a lsu fan and we are starting to realize you guys were telling the truth about everything. His teams never look prepared for the big games. He botched staff hires and he’s always playing golf and not recruiting at an elite level to compete in the sec. Everyone wants him gone but he signed a guaranteed ten year 100 million deal and we can’t afford to fire him.

[@TemplarKnight11]

I know it’s cool to bash ND (even we tried to warn you about Big Game Brian) Records vs Top 25 teams since taking over LSU and Notre Dame in 2022: Marcus Freeman: 10-4 Brian Kelly: 4-8

That's a great stat. I'd love ro see who the games were actually against. Msybe I can look it up.

[@tomdemay6147]

@@doc8013 his record against top 25 at ND was just as bad. And not all those games were against big time teams, I remember him losing to ranked Arizona State that collapsed one week later. I remember him losing "big games" to unranked teams like season openers against Texas

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Objective Viewpoint: The crux of the matter is that the boosters are still paying off $19 million dollars for the previous HC. And now the incumbent HC has a $70 million dollar buyout under the terms of the contract. HIGHLY unlikely that the boosters have the financial wherewithal or appetite to front this type of funding. When will AD’s stop the insanity of offering 10-year guaranteed $100 million pay packages WITHOUT inserting compensation clawback provisions for performance that doesn’t meet expectations???

[@scottprebys9692]

Same press conference…same big game results…$100 million? What was LSU thinking?? Meanwhile…Notre Dame is #8 😂. Notre Dame thanks LSU for getting him out of South Bend 👏🏻👏🏻

This is karma for what he did at Cincinnati, left just a week before a bowl game for ND. He’s trash against top 25 opponents, he lost Natty game at ND, he could have all the talent in the world and would still coach a team to lose.

[@doc8013]

So you're saying this is karma over a decade later for leaving a nothing football program for one of the greatest football programs of all-time? Really man? Of course he left Cincinnati for ND. Literally anybody would have. That isn't a slap in the face to Cincinnati, that's just normal progression through the coaching ranks.

[@stephendileo641]

@@doc8013 Sadly, 10 wins is his ceiling, not his floor. Recently the games have been the worst coached I've ever seen.

[@michaelwillis4532]

The win -loss for Kelly is just one slice of the pie,it’s his non-accountability,deflection,excuses,personality,history of loosing big games,fake attitude and constant word salad after defeat. This is the pie in your face called Brian Kelly.

[@tomdemay6147]

it's also not just the losses, but the BLOWOUT losses. It's one thing if he loses to Bama by 7, but he got blown out to them every time at ND and people blaimed ND the school instead of Brian. Now its SAME SHIT SHOW at LSU.

[@sunspots6077]

Let me clarify something.. this is 2024 the reality is LSU either makes the playoffs or not. "polls" and ""Bowls" at one time might have meant something but they are now irrelevant vestigial relics of the past. The past two were games were not just losses but were cataclysmic undeniable exposure of LSU as a second rate program. College football is going to evolve into a first division and everyone else. LSU is really stuck with not having the resources to compete.

[@brianbordoni2168]

BK is an administrator that puts all the right people in the right positions. That said whenever there is a change in that system, being players or coaches he falls on his face. He is such a narcissist that nothing is his fault ( throwing players under the bus) because he believes that he made all the right calls. He is a better than average coach that will win you ten or so games a year. But that isn’t quite good enough these days especially if you want to win a Natty! LSU needs a leader of men on the field not an administrator!

[@Thibs1082]

If we keep the 25/26 classes together and bring in some solid DBs BK might have a chance to make a playoff run. But he's got to get a competent OC immediately. Sloan can stay as QB coach but this shit isn't working.

[@stephendileo641]

No way is he keeping this recruiting class. He has risen to his level of incompetence.

[@michaelwillis4532]

LSU used to make the playoffs or ranked top 10. Now,we’re just trying to make a 12 team playoff system and can’t even do that. That’s with NIL and a 10 million dollar coach. BK needs to go.

[@jasonmorgan1768]

LSU made the 4 team playoff 1 time they are a career 9 win team

[@michaelwillis4532]

@ Lsu won the national championship with 3 different coaches,Nick Saban,Les Miles and Coach O. Brian Kelly will not with more players to choose from with NIL. The man is a fraud!

[@superbear617]

Kelly's mantra (when not throwing his players under the bus) is "we need to coach better". Well, what are we paying you $10 million a year for? Haven't you learned to "coach better" by now? He should have stayed at ND; soft schedule, consistently over-rated.

[@cheetahturner4576]

You not paying crap stfu just watch tv

[@drunkviggo7263]

Other than Ole Miss .... LSU haven't beat anyone this season. And yall only beat Ole Miss by 3 at home. Yall got a win against Nicholls ( who TF is that ? ) and South Alabama. LSU and several other SEC and BIG teams have soft schedules and are definitely being OVERRATED so they end up in the Playoff. The AP still having LSU ranked #21 in their poll is a laugh.

[@johnvelasco2692]

I’m an LSU alum and been obsessively following LSU football for 40 years. It’s patently obvious Brian Kelly will never win anything of substance at LSU. Every year his teams have massive deficiencies that he should have fixed in the offseason, and it doesn’t happen. We are flat out done. He’s apparently not a very hard worker. His attitude is one of entitlement. We don’t like the way he curses out his players on national TV, and frankly are sick of being embarrassed on same. It’s quite a shame we’re stuck with him at least through 2025-hopefully no longer

[@unclejj13er75]

Maybe not the beginning of the end. But the rope just got shorter. He's got a couple more guaranteed years at least, prolly three. But the room for error is nil. They're either in the playoffs in two years or there won't be people in the stands. And that will push the program to find somebody. The contract gives him time, but without some big W's, it's going to get short fast.

[@ivansalazar5448]

Well, if there is any consolation, the likes of Lincoln Riley, Mike Norvel, Matt Rhule, Billy Napier and other big time failures at coaching, are doing much worse than BK. LSU cannot afford to fire Kelly. The price tag for going that way is close to 67 million devalued US dollars, right at the end of this season.

[@tomdemay6147]

thats the problem ND had, and THANK YOU LSU for solving it for us. BK was just good enough to not get fired even though every ND fan knew he was never going to win the big one. so glad LSU "stole him" so we were forced to move on.

[@rushfan1979]

Inconsistent teams aren't in the top percentage of college football .....

[@justinesportsmedicine9379]

Amazing how closely you're follow LSU Football just amazing. Saban had two 8-win seasons (8-4 & 8-5) in his first two years in Baton Rouge and a 10-3 season. So, you're saying Nick Saban was trash considering BK will finish with a better three-year record?? Those naughty Irish still grinding their teeth. College Football at Saturday Glory, just say no.

[@tomdemay6147]

Nick Saban was taking over a team that hadn't won a Natty in 40 years. BK took over a team that won a Natty like 2 years before he got there. Nick Saban also didn't say he was taking LSU job because it was "easier to win there" than Michigan State. BK statement, regardless of how much it pissed off ND fans, is a big red flag because it's a built in excuse.

[@wadenesom6399]

It would cost way too much to buy out his contract.

[@gingobellz4800]

If BK.new a 12 team playoff was coming. I bet he would have stayed at Notre Dame

[@domerbuz3813]

LSU, Auburn, Oklahoma, and Florida fans better get used to losing a lot and staying in the middle of the SEC pack. Bama, UGA, Texas, and A&M are going to dominate the league. In the Big 10, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mich ST. and Nebraska are going to disappear. The two conference put too many strong teams in the league.

[@tbetyf7047]

His hire was bad. I said that day 1

[@footballcoach1495]

The man has the LOSER gene in him. Coaches fall into two categories. Those that have the "IT" factor and those who do not. Kelly DOES NOT. Shame on LSU for hiring the guy knowing this. I have hated this guy from the day he lied to the Cinn kids when he bolted for ND. Then he did the same at ND. Now he will get fired. Get this man out of coaching. I think the one thing that bugged me most is when Kelly was introduced as the LSU coach he had that fake Southern accent. I should not be surprised as his entire coaching tenure has been FAKE.

[@Qeyshawn]

Fire Brian Kelly and make the quarterback enter the portal. We’re better without both of them

[@BenHebert-x9k]

Must be crazy if you want to get rid of BK. Who would be a better coach to build a program. All you guys that want to jump off the wagon, go ahead. Except you can`t come back. If ND didn`t want him, why so many tears when he left?

[@tomdemay6147]

there are no tears from ND fans, we are GLAD he is gone and LAUGH at LSU. We can't stand this guy so we follow him and hope others see what we saw. I was calling for this guy to get fired for 2 seasons before he left for LSU.
