You mean Kalen DeAlready won more playoff games than Brian Kelly? Come to think of it, so has his successor at ND.

And BK still wont make the playoffs, sadly. He will lose the opener to Clemson.

Maybe but how will the National narrative completely switch up if LSU goes in & dog walks Clemson in their house?

Look, I know y'all had a great season last year, but the season starts anew in just a few weeks. This post shall be a point of reference demonstrating your foolishness in due time!

Does BK have to make the playoffs this season?
YES! It's either CFP or BK will resign or retire at the end of the season.......

Yes, he is such a respectable man that he will just walk away from a $60M buyout.

Pretty short from my perspective. He has all of the tools this year. Time to do something with them.

It's not make the playoffs or get fired (buyout is hilariously high still), unless he misses the playoff by a lot, but this definitely feels like the make or break season ultimately for his time here. If he cant get it done this year, hard to see it happening next year, although I guess the portal always can quickly change things as always now. With Nuss, the weapons, the massive upgrading done in the portal this offseason, the coaching staff is strong across the board now...really no excuses for this season unless something catastrophic happens like Nuss getting hurt....because I think any LSU fan will tell you yesterday when they heard Nuss might be injured and out for season potentially we just dont have the depth at QB to do much.

His buyout is astronomical. He’s not getting fired for years.


His buyout is 4th biggest in SEC and will decrease to approximately 50 million at season's end, down from a 100 million when hired.

Astronomical?

Maybe, but his buyout is on par or less than a dozen other coaches.

We can’t afford the buyout, simple as that.

I do think we’ll make the playoffs and he will not be in the hot seat at the end of this season. I think this team is going to make a run.

That being said, if we come out against Clemson and lose in a shot ourselves in the foot fashion, where the team looks totally lost, making boneheaded mistakes, and BK is in the presser talking about how it’s his fault and he is so angry and needs to coach better and this is all on him, you can bet your last dollar we are all going to be fking fuming

No, I'm not saying they have a walk in the park schedule, but it is front loaded with some very winnable games. LSU can really puff up the win total early.


There is a very real shot they are 1-2 through 3 weeks.

Clemson returns a ton of experienced talent, is playing at home, and could be the best team in the country. I doubt the last one, but its possible.

Florida might be better on both lines than LSU is, and probably has a better QB if he is healthy. Not many teams will have an advantage against LSU on both sides of the line of scrimmage like Florida will.

it wouldn't be completely out of left field if they were 2-4 through six. That isn't something I would predict or expect, I think LSU will be very good this year. But even with having 2 creampuffs early its pretty tough out the jump for them.

An LSU fan making fun of someone for losing four games. BK isn’t the only funny guy. LSU has lost four or more games four of the last five seasons. Do with that information what you must, which probably means you pay another buy out.

Look at Bama fans acting like Arkansas fans when they hired Bert. Arky fans bragged about how many Rose Bowl games Bert won at Wisconsin.

No one gives a frick what your coach did at Washington just like no one cares what Kelly did at ND.

Without a playoff appearance, the leash size decreases alongside the contract’s remaining life

Why do fans bring this up? BK can win 4 games he will be retained. DeBoer can go 0-12 and he will be retained. LSU isn’t paying $50 million to fire BK and Alabama isn’t paying 60 million to fire DeBoer!
