re: Best LSU team on paper since 2019

Posted by Purplehaze44 on 11/1/25 at 5:42 pm to Adam Banks

People on this board and in the media defended him irrationally from the day he was announced all the way to the Vandy loss.

If you criticized him as early a month ago you were downvoted to hell.

He knows good and well that TAF pays for it and that the taxpayers never would be on the hook.

He’s just trying to score political points with everyday idiots who are too damn stupid to understand how it works.

re: Mitigation clause in Kelly's contract

He would be perfect a Penn State. The biggest problem at LSU was the cultural fit.

No the biggest problem is he isn’t actually a good enough coach to be successful week in and week out in a real conference. He doesn’t win unless he plays a schedule like Notre Dame’s where you are head and shoulders better than all but one, maybe two teams on your schedule. And then still lose three games on average.

It is technically A, but you haven’t interpreted it correctly because this situation wouldn’t be allowed in the first place.

He isn’t allowed to intentionally take less than what he is reasonably worth on the market, and other schools can’t treat him like that because of it. He has to make within reason what he would make at his new job even if he wasn’t collecting a buyout check from us. This is all assuming we don’t eventually negotiate a settlement, which I think he will.

I think he’ll want to be done and just take a lump sum with no duty to mitigate and no more lawyers or agents. It’s what I would do unless Penn State or some other school that kinda matters is dumb enough to hire him.

Just curious, who will that be? Word in Lexington, Dr Cupaluto is retiring and Dr. Eric Monday will be the next President of University of Kentucky.

There is a publicly available shortlist with common perception being that Landry is pushing very hard for McNeese’s president, but there is a growing rumor that Congresswoman Letlow will be considered as well.

He was involved. As said by others Louisiana has always had politics intermingle with football.

The extra layer this time is that the university doesn’t have a President currently. We are about a month out from hiring one, and the AD who wasted 100 million on Kelly is probably a lame duck so the Governor has a window to step in more openly than before and hav less people balk at it.

If they do sack up and fire Kelly do you want them competing with Florida AND Texas for a new head coach and staff?

re: Serious question to LSU fans

Posted by Purplehaze44 on 10/19/25 at 9:56 am to Turkeyneck81

If you asked your average LSU fan what they thought of Kelly a year before we hired him they would have said that he wasn’t a great coach, that he never won games that matter, and that he padded his win loss record with a Charmin soft schedule at Notre Dame.

Once we hired him, for many he magically became a top 5 coach with a history of winning. Purple and gold colored sunglasses can be worse than beer goggles.

Now most have finally been shaken from their delusions and see him for what he is.

It helps to have a quarterback who can, but it isn’t required. What is required is your O line needs to be able to be able to block a three man rush on a team who had their entire D Line replaced from last year.

re: Brian Kelly Monday Press Conference (Edited: No press conference during a bye week)

Posted by Purplehaze44 on 9/28/25 at 5:09 pm to cjohn1290

Doesn’t have one on the bye week, so he gets to hide in his office until next week.

Nuss is sucking right now and throwing hospital balls.

I'm not saying that isn't a problem. I'm not out here saying he's playing perfect.

But you have set him up for failure and a Mississippi State QB is not the magic answer to your problems just because he looked good against SELU in the 4th quarter.

If a team is allowed to drop 8, rush 3, AND STILL GET A RUSH then you are doomed for failure. It took a generational quarterback to mask our structural deficiencies before Nuss. Kelly is the problem. Nuss isn’t helping but if your house is on fire you don’t complain about the fact that the AC isn’t working.

Yes, but we aren’t competing in a meaningful way. This Ole Miss team is not a good football team, and they ran an absurd game plan against you.

If you think Brian Kelly is capable of winning three games back to back to back against top 12 teams after what we just did against an Ole Miss team that Arkansas took down to the wire then I don’t know what to tell you.

Are you sure about this? Anyone who pays attention should have known what Kelly was before we got him, and if not then at least by the A&M game in 22.

People have been carrying this bitch’s water for almost four years now and it’s pathetic. If Daniels hadn’t been a transcendent player we would have won 7 games in 22 and 23 each.

I’m sorry does Huey P. Long not count for some reason?

Nevermind, I see you meant Gov. when they were assasinated.

re: Will Arkansas move back to final game of the year, rivalry weekend, beginning 2026?

Posted by Purplehaze44 on 9/23/25 at 4:19 pm to SUB

Oklahoma-Mizzou will be Thanksgiving and we will get Arkansas back. I don’t like the Friday game but Arkansas is by far my favorite of our post Tulane “forced rivals.”

I’m so tired of being saddled with the faggots from College Station. And it’s a travesty to not play UF, but I am happy we get the piggies back.

Something is seriously wrong with Clemson

I tried telling people they weren’t a good team but everyone wanted to believe they were elite so we could hype ourselves up.

They returned a lot from last year but they were 1-4 against teams with more than 7 wins and we all pretended that because they ACCed their way into the playoff last year that they weren’t a dumpster fire.
