Don’t have to pretend. I am those things.
This has been funny (and kinda weird) but I'm getting bored now so I’m going to watch a replay of last night’s game.
Hope your night gets better.

I bet most auburn fans would rather go on the lsu rollercoaster than whatever the hell you call auburn football nowadays

Notre Dame and Brian Kelly played in the 2020 ACC championship game. They lost. And they certainly have one every year in the SEC.
Brian Kelly has won none of them.

No other coach in the SEC has either, outside of Kirby.

I hear Billy Napier may be available after this season.
I actually think he has the program moving in the right direction.

I have guaranteed another loss for LSU against Florida. Circle that one for your record. You can bookmark this and it will come out golden when the final score is revealed.

That game was pretty funny watch especially when the field goal holder was hit in the head with the ball with his head turned.
He will always be remembered for that lol
Just 1 mistake out of many
Kelly has a good team but they seem to lose focus.
I’m not sure if LSU can beat Bama from what I saw but maybe you will.

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.
This will be exactly how the Bama game goes.
In reality, it's a huge loser leaves town game/playoff elimination game, but if Kelly wins, it'll be a whole lot of "meh, it's a win over a 3 loss Bama team that lost to Vandy."

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.
The closest thing I could think of with Marcel Reed vs LSU was Jordan Jefferson coming in and running the option vs Bama in 2011. I guess Saban is a horrible head coach for not having prepared for Jefferson in that game.
All coaches and teams have games like LSU did on Saturday. It's football and it happens.
It doesn't help that LSU was in horrible field position after each of the 3 INTs.

I assure you, there are other coaches than Kirby Smart who have won a conference championship game, NY6 bowl or playoff game. The list of current SEC coaches who have done so is:
Kirby Smart
Josh Heupel
Lane Kiffin
Kalen Deboer
Steve Sarkisian
Despite having the longest career of any current SEC coach, Brian Kelly has not.
That is why fans don’t think he is a great coach.

I was responding to the SEC championship comment.
I'm quite confident that Kelly would have won many of the matchups that those coaches won.
Texas last year with an atrocious pass defense? Heck yes.

Yep a big arse waste of money! Kelly is either incompetent or simply doesn’t care anymore. The fact that he didn’t prepare the team for the possibility of Reed coming in the game is total incompetence. It sucks but we are stuck with him. Kelly is definitely a fraud !

Adding NY6 bowl, here, to get Heupel and Kiffin included is comical. If you didn't win Conference or make playoff, who cares.
Kind of hard to win a Conference Championship when for majority of career at Notre Dame, he was not part of a Conference.
Kelly did win the Big East twice before moving on to Notre Dame.

I am absolutely certain that Kelly did not win any of the matchups he actually did have.
Your whole argument for why Kelly is great is 9 win consistency (except for his 4-8 season at Notre Dame) and hypotheticals about what he might have done at other schools or what he might do in the future.

That's all we have for any coach.
His win percentage and hypotheticals.

And he did so without winning a conference championship game.
Brian Kelly has had a lot of success. He just has never had success in important post season games.
How many people do you think remember 2008 Cincinnati winning the Big East? How many people do you think remember the 2012 BCS championship game between Notre Dame/Alabama?
The fact of the matter is what a coach is remembered by is largely their post season success. Or lack there of. The biggest postseason win for Brian Kelly in his 22 years as a D-1 head coach is either the Sun Bowl or Citrus Bowl.

You talk a lot about "people remembering" here, perception isn't reality.
Your perception is BK is a bad coach because he hasn't won a NY6 bowl, NY6 bowls don't even matter today.
You trash BK for not winning a conference championship game in 22 years when he's only been in a conference with a championship game in 3 of those seasons.

No, it most certainly is not. You also have championship and post season wins. The reason people say Nick Saban is the greatest coach of all time is not just his winning percentage. Frank Leahy, Urban Meyer, Barry Switzer, Tom Osborne, General Neyland, and Bud Wilkinson all have better career winning percentages than do Nick Saban or Bear Bryant. It is the number of national championships they won that set them apart. Nothing hypothetical about that.

I'm not talking in terms of legacy, I'm talking about a current coach in terms of predicting future success.
