re: Brian Kelly's buyout is 62MM

I give zero shits what you do with Kelly. History shows he can’t win the big one. And he’s, what, .500 against A&M

---

Apparently you do give a shite because you posting about it….history show Ed O couldn’t win either. Until he did.

So what if he is .500 against a&m? He has the best sec record of any active coach outside of Kirby.

This isn’t unique to LSU. Kelly had trouble winning big games at Notre Dame too.

This has become a confirmation bias talking point.

When BK wins, it wasn't that great of a team. It only becomes a "big game" if he loses.

It's an interesting dynamic.

But why? Like how does that help them? I don’t get the angle?

---

Unconsciously, they're worried about what LSU looks like with a good coach.

It's why he's constantly criticized on this board for doing the same things that all of their coaches do.

And I'll be honest, the same dynamic happens with DeBoer.

But he played in a sec title game on his very first try?

...and got blown out.

quote:

---

Kelly didn’t lose that game. The guy who threw three picks did.

---

Turnovers are no doubt costly...very costly.

But that doesn't excuse a HC and his DC looking COMPLETELY unprepared and surprised when the opponent's backup QB, who had already appeared in many games this season, comes onto the field. I mean, it's as if the coaches and defense hadn't even discussed the possibility leading up to the game. In that regard, it was one of the worst coaching performances I've watched in a long time.

So did everyone who played Georgia that year…??

Again this doesn’t strengthen the argument

---

Interesting how no one brought up the big game talking point when they beat Ole Miss.

You can bet it would've been had they lost.

I don’t think Elko has the same body of work so it’s too early to tell.

I listened to BK’s post game last night and frankly I’d be pissed if I was a LSU fan. He managed to deflect several questions, threw the entire FG unit under the bus, and (this is the most important) seemed dumbfounded when asked if they had a plan for the running QB.

This was not Marcel’s first time seeing action. He started and played through at least 3 games. Not having prepared for him is an enormous oversight by a P5 coach.

He was bench for a qb who routed a top 10 team.


Frankly you just keep trying to act like you have a tangible emotional attachment to how LSU fans are supposed to feel. It’s making you look ridiculous. Like you are upset for this with your team winning?

I guess Kirby and every other coach that lost when a backup came in, that completely changed the complexion of the game, is an idiot too, according to Corch Architect.

---

Kelly gets held to a standard on this board that no other coach does

quote:

---

This narrative that Marcel should have been a priority in the game-plan is fricking stupid.

---

He'd appeared in 6 of their 8 games (5/8 if you take away his one touch in the Mizzou game).

And yes, BK should have absolutely had them prepared to face him. That's what separates Saban, Kirby, Meyer, etc. from the rest of the pack.....they think preparation is nearly as damn important as the game itself.

I suppose if I were in your shoes I would shy away from calling out BK, as well. I mean, we're literally posting in a thread about him having a $62,000,000 buyout. That will put a hurting on any program.
