Omg. If you are the New GM at a company and you are bringing your personal staff with you. You don't retain anyone from the old staff unless you need them. You were hired to make the company better. Some of you get your dam feelings in the way because the old coach was a nice guy. Your the same guys yelling " we need to fire everyone and clean house' but when its happening , you flip flop. Jezzz

How cool to have been a LB coach at LSU

tiger_nurse•29 months

Jesus people! Y’all complain about the previous regime every freakin day for a year or so then have the audacity to bitch about our new coach changing up the staff after a 6-6 year? Smh

TutHillTiger•29 months

Good luck Coach

Wallace Ritchie•29 months

Just seems wasteful having to buy out contracts of good defensive coaches.

That’s not how it usually works after a HC change.

Doesn't Golding coach LB's, y'all? LA guy too. Big time recruiter. Hope he's our guy.

Freddy238•29 months

Thats right coach Kelly, get rid of all them 6-6 arse coaches.

ForTheWin81•29 months

I'm so confused right now, all I know is Kelly better have a DAMN good plan here. We will see

CanebreakCajun•29 months

What’s the confusion. We went 6-6. He will bring in who he wants.

Like some of these firings are questionable at best. It’s just toxic to let these guys recruit for you and let them go. Understand changing the culture, but you can’t let recruiters that know the lay-of-the-land go! This is getting interesting...

stho381•29 months

The only reason you make this move is if it's a necessity. I look forward to seeing what it is.

otowntiger•29 months

Yeah, I don’t get this one.

tiggerthetooth•29 months

He's moving to be a DC somewhere. He's being promoted.

LSU_Legz•29 months

Hearing it could be SMU, has a connection with the OC there

LSUJD_04•29 months

Stupid move by Kelly. Baker was not only a good recruiter but he was a damn good LB coach too. Don’t agree with this.

Shooter•29 months

You can't force a coach on a good DC. If the new DC wanted him he would still be here.
