re: The criticism of Brian Kelly is interesting

He echoed many of the same sentiments that are posted on this board daily, he stated that LSU is not interested in players who are simply looking for a fat paycheck.

quote:
"We were in the market in recruiting in the transfer portal, looking for defensive linemen," Kelly said, according to WAFB's 9 Jacques Doucet. "It hasn't fared very well, quite frankly. Because we're selling something a little differently and that is: We want to recruit, we want to engage, build relationships, develop, retain, and have success.
"We're not in the market of buying players. And unfortunately, right now, that's what some guys are looking for. They want to be bought."

quote:
if you're just looking to get paid, you're looking in the wrong place," Kelly said.


The board blasts him for having the same opinions they do.

Fans can say this shite out loud, dumdum. Coaches aren't supposed to.

Sure, let's all slow clap for Brian Kelly and his bullshite about culture, commitment, development, family and whatever other dumb shite every coach in this conference has some version of, on deck and ready to spew at a moment's notice..

We're all proud. Brian Kelly took a stand and asked a player to take less than market value because his selling point is that LSU is in some way, unique or special. When the truth of the matter is that they simply couldn't cough up the scratch.

Well this is Brian Kelly's Jerry Mcguire moment. Let us all just watch and see what happens next.
