If you've ever spent any time reading ND message boards you know that Irish fans have despised Brian Kelly for basically the entirety of his tenure.


Well then ND fans are stupid. He did about as well as they could have reasonably asked him to do in modern college football.

Kelly killed a young ND student at a football practice early in his tenure due to his arrogance and negligence…he’s got actual blood on his hands.

There are reports he ignored and even joked about alleged rapes by his players and the victim committed suicide. You would think that LSU with the latest sexual scandals plaguing their program would have vetted this guy a little better.
He seems like an old dull and very arrogant guy who is a huge believer in “flopping”. Tried that against UGA - twice - and was even called out on it by the announcers on national tv. I can’t see how any top notch recruit would commit to him. He is so yesterday.

Was Saban hated by LSU fans when he was here?

Yes, by some. He was an arrogant prick wearing mock turtlenecks, when he left there was a lot of "don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out" comments.

My uncle was a professor at Michigan State, and when Saban left there he said a lot of folks were glad to see him go.

Saban wins enough to tolerate that side, but let's not act like he's beloved for any other reason.

No. Very simple explanation-

he's following Orgeron and the disaster of 2020 and 2021. It's the complete opposite of following a legend; the guy that follows Saban will be hated the first time they lose.
Kelly walks into a situation where 8-4 and a coherent press conference will be welcomed next year, as long as there's progress.

He has an abrasive personality. Add to that the scissor lift incident that lots of people feel he is responsible for, and yeah....lots of folks up herein Indiana aren't very endeared to him.

Why would anyone read ND message boards?



Because they have been pretty damn entertaining the last few days.

Probably not as much as Saban hates his fans.

Wrong question. How long before Alabama fans hate him? Not long I’m betting. And for a fairly long time.

A nice “whistle while walking by the graveyard” vibe to the post though. I’m sensing…fear?

Week 1 vs FSU I guarantee you there will be fans in the game thread calling for his head the first time LSU doesn't score on a drive or FSU scores a TD. Our fanbase seems to always be divided on coaches, it's an inevitability some fans won't like him hell he hasn't even coached a game yet and some fans have already made up their mind that they hate him. Hopefully if Kelly delivers there will be more pro-Kelly fans than anti-Kelly, as of now I'm seeing a lot more optimism from our fans than pessimism.

I'd say more so... In his first game against Florida State, if we're not up by two touchdowns at halftime, half of our fan base will be dog cussing him.

You hated him in 2020 when he kicked LSU’s butt all over Tiger Stadium

CFB didn’t have a season in 2020. The last national title anyone cares about or remembers other than Bama fans is 2019 LSU.

If he doesn't f@ck the Gov's wife, tv news ladies,etc..

If he doesn't call boosters that want to fund his program losers for wanting to shake his hand and say hello..

If he doesn't have school administration workers ordered to not address him in the hallways..

If his son doesn't get kicked out of private schools for drugs..

If his daughter doesn't f@ck the OC help..

If his wife doesn't have to forego her friends and be okay at Billionaire NFL owner overtures, just to get her hubby's cock outta town..

He might be aight?

Don’t know why they don’t like him. He took their shite program and turned them into a national power.

...just without the results.

Like the other poster said, yall are going to hate his scheme. Especially since its one Saban has shut down repeatedly.

His players loved him and were crying after he spoke with them.
