Sounds like Kelly was shortchanged on resources compared to Kiffin

They’re going to be angry that you’re talking about them. Even though this is an LSU message board.

Of course the post lacks context.

This Brennon Chapman chap has KDS so badly from being fired by him that he needs to seriously seek help.

Still not sure why you folks keep posting this dude's takes like he's some credible information source.

He's a former Ole Miss staffer that Lane fired and now he's the GM of a car dealership.

A few weeks ago, he was insisting LSU is on probation. A probation period that ended 3 years ago.

Old Kelly was never given resources like that.

Something is really strange & wrong with you all. I could care less about any of the other 15 teams in the SEC but obviously y'all have a weird, obsessed insecurity about LSU.

Sounds like Kelly probably found a big time coaching job pretty easily


Since anyone can pretty easily see that his greatness was shortchanged. Probably weren't any coaching openings after last season though, just unlucky all around for Kelly I guess. The demand will be huge by the big boys after this season though, im sure of it!

Brian Kelly was fired at 5-3 after losing to Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M, three teams that all finished in the Top 15.

That was deemed unacceptable


That's correct Brennan

Probably a lot of things you can say about LSU and Brian Kelly, but I don't think "LSU shortchanged Brian Kelly" is among them.

It just sounds like people in and around the program were willing to invest more with Kiffin. Probably the same way everywhere. Cignetti probably has way more than his predecessor. Saban surely more than Shula. The buy-in to the program depends on the speculation of how the new coach will do.

At the end of the day Kelly walked away for a huge buyout.

This board has become completely unhinged with kiffin takes. It’s insanity, some of you genuinely need to take a break.


Comparing Kiffin through 3 games to Brian Kelly is so comical it would only get traction on this board.

Look I'm trying to word this delicately because I can tell you are retarded, but do you think it is healthy for you to be this obsessed with LSU?

They've tried to out-troll each other for so long that they don't realize that they've slowly become delusional.

I think this guy is just a rage baiter to LSU fans. Nonstop posts about LSU/Kiffin.

I'll probably get downvoted into the abyss but as an LSU fan I think it was a mistake to hire Kiffin. Time will tell I guess.

LSU made a massive near quarter billion dollar investment to change regimes and make sure Lane Kiffin had every resource necessary to meet that standard. They gave Lane a $91 million contract, making him one of the three highest-paid coaches in college football. They’re paying his OC and DC $5.5 million combined. And they built a roster reportedly costing $40-50+ million, more than twice what Kelly said LSU spent on his final roster and potentially the most expensive roster in the sport. Kelly never had anything close to that overall level of resources, and LSU still decided that losing to Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M was unacceptable. Three games into the Lane era, he’s already lost to Ole Miss.


A team and headcoach, Kiffin and his staff knows intimately. Inside and out.

There is absolutely, positively nothing Lane Kiffin doesn't know about the coaching tendencies of Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Football Program.

And he still lost to them.

LSU fans, the maws of pain are in your future.

BK wanted to golf more than coach. BK would have turned LSU into Ole Miss. An occasional 1 or 2 year run then mediocre or worse.
