Were LSU fans this cocky on here when they hired Brian Kelly?

I mean, Kelly had atleast gotten his team to a NCG in his career. Kiffin only rode Pete Carrol and Saban's coattails when he got to coach on a staff in a NCG. Guy has never sniffed a NCG as a head coach.

But as I was saying, were these corndog smelling bitches as cocky when they hired Grindin' Brian Kelly as their head coach as they are now with Queefin? Were they bragging that "LSU owns college football now because we hired Brian Kelly AWAY from Notre Dame?" They probably bragged and said they were bigger than Notre Dame. I also imagine they talked crazy shite when BK beat Saban on a 2 pt. conversion rather than go into OT.

The whole world got to watch how the BK hire flopped like a fricking fish out of water. Wait till Queefin goes belly-up like he has at every other pressure job he had as a HC. This site will go nuclear.

LSU fans would initially rally around a turd sandwich if it were hired as HC

I remember they talked a ton of crap to the Gators because they had made the "better hire" and could pull a big name. In the end as you both had nothing to show for their tenure and while LSU was a bit better during the time, given how much each school ended up on the hook for I think Florida made the better, or at least the less bad hire.

If we’re honest, we had medium expectations with CBK because we just wanted the program on steady footing after O went crazy after 2019.

In all fairness, we probably expected at least an appearance in the playoff. In the end, we got burned by that leprechaun and hope he takes a job this next cycle so we can lessen the buyout.

Yes, but it was fake juice. Kind of like their celebration over capitulation.

This time they believe it as far as Lane and the actual football on the field.

Ha! I remember clear as day- y'all were so sure he was the next great thing who was going to be delivering NCs. It was NOT much different than Kiffin.

In fact, I think there was actually MORE certainty w BK.

They want to be Bama so bad. Saban spurning them for legend status in Tuscaloosa has permanently altered their brains.

Might be more annoying this year, but they're always this delusional

Forget about this shite from last summer?

We did think that if Miles and Orgeron could win a NC then Kelly should've been able too also.

We were wrong.

Not nearly as comically wrong as A&M thinking so strongly that Jimbo would win one that they went ahead and made a plaque though

Come on man, if we are being honest, Lane was the grand prize for any team looking for a coach last year and we got him. Any fanbase that lured him would be ecstatic right now. If you can’t admit that, then you’re simply being dishonest.

Regarding Kelly, it was a weird hire and I think most LSU fans felt he’d do quite well given what he’d done at ND. Most including myself thought he’d be better than he actually was. But if you are trying to say Kelly was as big as a buzz as Lane, you’d be wrong. Lanes hire has created twice the buzz within the program as Kelly. The vibe within the program is not even close when comparing the two.

Another bama idiot that just throws Sh*t out there. You can thank the Dolphins for giving Saban everything to get him to leave for NFL. Had that never happened he would have never left LSU. Saban has even said: that leaving LSU was the biggest professional regret of his career. So the spurning that you gumps always come up with always makes you sound stupider than you already are.

That's rich coming from an Aww-burn fan. You haven't had a winning season in 6 years.

You hired Alex Goulash. Never won a conference championship and finished fourth in the mighty American Conference in his best year at USF. Mighty fine credentials.

Before that you hired hooker-gate Freeze and prior to that created innuendo and a smear campaign against sour puss Harsin. Of course, if I had to live in Auburn I would be a sour puss too.
