Yep, I haven't seen people melt this much since LSU hired Brian Kelly.
Everyone was scared because if he could do what he did at Notre Dame and get them to the playoffs, he was going to do wonders for LSU.

And I believe DeBust will end up in that same category.

Kiffin couldn't win the big game at Ole Miss? Shocker

Couldnt win the big games at Tennessee and USC either....proof is in the pudding.

He would have needed to be a different coach than he had been in his entire life to meet the expectations of LSU fans. You could count the number of big wins he had in his career on a sawyers hand.
He got Notre Dame where he did mostly on easy schedules.
The plus side to Brian Kelly was he didn't generally lose games he shouldn't, but staring into the distance unable to make adjustments while getting his arse whipped was visible way back in 2012.

There wasn’t nearly this many threads when LSU hired Kelly. There were threads here and there but not constant spamming flame threads from opposing fans. It’s a completely different level of melt.

I knew the SEC was in trouble when Louisiana State hired Notre Dames all time winningest coach. And then when Sidewalk posted his winning percentage I knew LSU had the right coach

Yep....Notre Dame has 6 playoff game appearances and are 3-3. Brian Kelly went 0-2. Freeman passed him in just one year in 2024 going 3-1. Kelly couldnt beat shite. Freeman beat Indiana, Georgia and Penn State in the playoffs and went to the Natty.

I don't know how many threads were made, but I know the narrative in the ones that were made were the same when it comes to LSU fans.
People pointed out he couldn't win big games and such and all LSU fans would reply with was "melting", and he was going to be great, blah blah blah.
Now your paying over $25 million a year for the head coaching position.
Hell, if you had just paid that much to start with, you probably could have had someone like Kirby.

2020 Alabama and 2018 Clemson were far better than 2024 Indiana, Georgia, and Penn State.

And ND's current coach can win the Big one?

Kelly didnt have to go through a gaunlet of a playoff system.....Freeman had to beat Indiana, Georgia, Penn State and Ohio State four weeks in a row to win a natty....tell me any team that could do that.....muchless Brian Kelly.

No, Kelly just had to go undefeated in the regular season.
Something Freeman can't do.

Look at all the coaches that came here with that stigma, Miles and O had never won any championships, conference etc as head coaches. Saban had not even one a bowl game.
