Because Kelly isn't a championship HC at this level.


No one is, besides Dabo, Ryan Day, and Kirby.

So BK is fair game to be "judged" in year 1 of a rebuild but DeBoer isn't, even though DeBoer took over a playoff team with the most talent in the country.

I get that some of you dislike BK for some reason but the hypocrisy is nuts.

Did you not see what other fans posted when he was hired to be the next LSU HC? I was not the only one. He just like the former UGA that did good enough but couldn't win a championship for UGA. When Kirby Smart took over boom! He got two championships already.

Give him 3 or 4 years and we'll see. He wasn't scared to follow the best ever....so he has balls ....and doesn't rub them on players.

Another interesting BK stat. Auburn is 0-2 vs Brian Kelly and got the absolute shite kicked out of them the last time we played y’all.

Salary: DeBoer's contract starts at $10 million in his first year and increases by $250,000 annually, reaching $11.75 million in the final year.
Contract Length: The contract is for eight years, ending on December 31, 2031.
Guaranteed Salary: 90% of his salary is guaranteed, and there is no mitigation if he is fired without cause.


I wonder why?

I think you meant he doesn’t rub his nuts on his own players. Because he most definitely did rub them all over every LSU player, coach and fan in Tiger Stadium last fall.

Hopefully BK can get some of these soft, 2 loss "major bowl" matchups soon.


But so far hasn't, I think that's the point

Since BK is the “James Franklin of the SEC,” what happens if he goes 9-3, squeaks into the playoffs, and loses a first round game at PSU?

Can you still be the “James Franklin of the SEC” if you lose to the actual James Franklin? Seems he may have to take a demotion if this happens to something below a James Franklin level.

Beating Georgia, Auburn and LSU while also being undefeated against Texas and Oregon shows DeBoer can be elite.

Brian Kelly can't say the same.

Just facts though. No opinion needed.

Is it better to beat better teams and consistently choke vs bad ones or not be able to beat better teams?



Guess we'll see.

Just about all top HCs will struggle in some games in their first year. Like some fans said Kelly will be judge in 3 years. Why not do the same for all HCs. Even Kirby Smart didn't do well in his first year at UGA. Stop giving Kelly favoritism over other HCs.

An Auburn fan, who should have plenty of bad football to look forward to is talking about BK......

Yall seriously can't get BK out of your heads.

Do you think all of the threads about Kelly are because other SEC fanbases are concerned with how good of a coach he is, or because he's been a known choke artist throughout his career, and already averaged 2-3 blowout losses every season he's been at LSU?

I don’t mean this to be rude at all, but after watching the Netflix show I don’t think he has a genuine bone in his body.

I have no clue how people don’t see it. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad coach, just can’t believe people buy in.
