I'd like an apology. I perfectly called how the Brian Kelly hire would go and y'all were extremely ugly.

I've seen my share of coach rationalizations. From A&M fans convincing themselves that Fran, Sherman, and Sumlin where the ones. Heck, we even do that to a degree with Jimbo. I've watched Texas fans do the same with Charlie, Herman, Sark, and every leftover assistant they've hired.
But LSU's rationalization of Brian Kelly takes the cake. It's clearly a square peg in a round hole situation, and LSU fans are convincing themselves they've made a homerun hire. The most clear situation is Corey Raymond, who has LSU running through his veins, and now all of the sudden he had nothing to do with DBU and is a traitor. Maybe, just maybe, your new coach sucks...none of his coordinators coming with him, your best assistant leaving...
Raymond is the writing on the wall LSU fans. This is going to be an epic fail of a hire. But keep telling yourself the opposite

Finally, there's no reason to think Kelly won't do well here. He's been a consistent winner at every stop in his career. He's left each program in better shape than it was when he inherited it.

Everyone nationally thinks it's a great hire. Only people I've seen say that it isn't post here.

We win with coaches like O and Les. We could probably hire you as head coach and still beat A&M.

LSU had Les Miles and Ed Orgeron and both won a title . Now LSU hires an actual coach. You sound scared.

He didn’t fail because he was a square peg in a round hole he failed because he didn’t give a frick and wasn’t able or willing to adjust his philosophy to the new era.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

you can say every hire ever will fail and you’d be right 95% of the time

He didn't give a frick about LSU or Louisiana. He was a lost yankee in Baton Rouge. That is the definition of square peg / round hole.
Just admit it was a terrible hire culturally. It takes a special type of person to embrace LSU.

This.
Kelly sucked because he was negligent and basically absent from coaching the team. He didnt even learn players names.

Corey Raymond is currently on staff at LSU. Your original assessment could not have been more wrong.

You don’t have to be some cartoon character to be embraced at LSU, you just have to win. Kelly didn’t work because he lost too many football games.

People liked him just fine for the most part the issue was giving a guy in his 60’s a fully guaranteed mega contract at the same time when the blueprint for winning he spent decades working on suddenly didn’t work as well because of the changing landscape.
It had nothing to do with the culture and those saying it did don’t actually understand Louisiana.

Now while they are working on your apology, drag up all the times you were totally wrong and apologize for that.

Its never been convincing with LSU fans because it’s basically lazy and false
We won with:
Dinardo -> new yorker
Saban -> basically from pittsburg
Les -> michigander
O was the only louisiana guy we’ve had in my lifetime

I mean non-Kirby non-Herchel UGA is mostly a joke so not sure why you’re chiming in

Had y'all beaten AnM, he's still your coach and you all still love him.

So are you arguing that LSU is not in fact $#!++y? I disagree. Enjoy your new coach. I'd try to keep the buyout down this time.

Correct. Unlike UGA our place in the sport’s history doesn’t hinge on just 2 people

losing to A&M will do that to a fanbase. like getting picked off by the wheelchair kid in 7th grade dodgeball
