Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly was on Sirius XM College Sports Radio on Friday and was asked about the difference in pressure at Notre Dame versus at LSU...

quote:
"What's the difference in pressure at Notre Dame versus LSU?" Dusty Dvoracek asked. "Is it different? They are both elite, top programs. I think everybody would put them in the Top 10 jobs. What's the difference?"

"I went to Notre Dame to bring them back to relevance," Kelly said. "They had slipped off the map, if you will. Facilities had fallen behind. The love and passion for the game had slipped a bit. And, um, that was my job. You know, so from a pressure standpoint, you just focused on building a program and doing it the right way, and being consistent, and getting that program back with new facilities and a new indoor, and the stadium, and all of those things that go with getting a program back to elite status."

"When I took the LSU job, it was win or go home. It was win the national championship, or go home. So the pressure's different from that standpoint because you're, you're trying to make decisions that affect winning on the field a little bit quicker than maybe you did at Notre Dame."

He knew that but took the job he wasn't suited for. Shame on both parties for not realizing who they were and who they were getting.

He’s is not wrong

"..you're trying to make decisions that affect winning on the field a little bit quicker than maybe you did at Notre Dame."

And yet, you didnt. You sat on the worst defense in our history and then proceeded to produce the worst offense in the history of our program.

I really wanted him to win big. It is what it is.

Well at least he knew the assignment. He just was a square peg.

Don’t let the snippet make you think he’s changing his ways. He disses both his coordinators and LSU academics within the full article.

Why are people bitching about what he said? Did you read his answer, or just the headline?
Dude straight-out says, LSU is "win the national championship or go home". Different level of expectation than Notre Dame. He didn't make any excuses, or whine about anything.

I’m ok w what he said, he’s got millions of $$$$$$ as a reason not to trash LSU. Bottom line in 10 years at ND and 4 years at LSU, No national Title was won. He did have one chance at a NC and that didn’t Geaux well. Best he’s gone especially after the debacle with atm.

Some people are good at 'herding cats,' and some are not. Or perhaps it's like playing with a Whac-A-Mole game (once popular at Chuck E. Cheese). With experience, there is success, but some Moles will be missed. In recent years, LSU has or has had coaches where the Moles have defeated the 'Boppers' (or hitters) rather than the reverse.

Who cares. Yawn.

He is such a liar. He had plenty of time to do it his way at lsu.

Did they ask him if he was actively seeking employment?

Nuss getting hurt cost Kelly his job. A healthy Nuss and we have 4 WRs at the NFL combine, but we didn't have Nuss healthy enough to hit those flyers down the field. And that did Kelly in.

HarryHoudini•1 day

Wasn’t just Nuss. OL was terrible (again), WR drops, Sloan terrible play calling, the whole team being soft af.

BK got BK fired.

But, hey, yall won the portal last year.

That’s exactly how it is and should be. Did he actually expect different?

Spankum•1 day

He provided a quality answer to the question he was asked. Nothing political and no coachspeak.

"Well, there are a lot more months to golf in Baton Rouge." "Well, one fan base is spoiled and the other is not." "Well, my agent told me I had to play Nuss hurt, so I played Nuss hurt."

He killed a kid at Notre Dame

Fair enough imo. Didn’t make excuses just said how it is.

Couldnt even make it to a 12 team playoff bracketin year 4. What the hells he yapping about?

Complacency versus National Champion level standards. Shocker. You took the job with the expectations in mind and blew it, had every resource imaginable. If movie characters like Miles and Orgeron can get it done and you cannot. Says a lot.
