I've stopped worrying about who they hire. It's not going to happen til after Thanksgiving, at the earliest. No one knows what will happen between now and then.

they fricked up by firing Kelly


Stuff is coming out now that he was developing a drinking problem. And also very absent from dealing with the team.

Any team would’ve fired him. Including Florida.

What are the big guns?

Dan Lanning? Jon Sumrall? James Franklin? Ryan Day? Alex Golesh? Brian Kelly? Kirby Smart? Kalen Deboer? Matt Rhule?

That sounds like an Auburn play. Try to destroy his character after you fire him so you don’t have to pay him the money in the contract he and the university signed. Good job LSU.

If the dude had a drinking problem, it didn’t just appear out of nowhere. He’s in his 60’s for cryin out loud

Now LSU fans want to claim he killed a kid?

Interesting timing.

You guys thought he was a top three college coach 4 years ago.

Now? Now you want to dredge up his character issues.

No. It does not. Dude made it 60 years and then figured out he needed to self medicate with alchohol?

Geez, LSU is even shittier than we all thought. You drove a grandpa to become an alcoholic.

We all knew McElwain was garbage but as a fan you have to give every coach a shot.

It cost to much to fail again. They need excitment for donor money, ticket sales, etc. Who knows..but it will be a proven coach. UF can not afford to hire someone that does not excite the fanbase this time. To much money at stake.
