re: What's your logical Saban take?
Posted by TakingStock on 11/3/25 at 6:26 pm to John Rambeaux
He always had unfinished business at LSU. He’s an incredible competitor that had no idea the LSU job would open up as quickly as it did to even make this a possibility. He may want to give it one last go if the coaching itch is getting to him being so close to everything on GameDay, etc. I wouldn’t put the odds at 0.

Exactly. It’s probably less than 1% chance, but it’s not impossible. Until things heat up with a realistic coach, I’m going to enjoy this.
Exactly. What I meant about the idea he is mulling this over is that he didn’t know Kelly was going to be fired and the LSU job (of all jobs) would be open to even make this a potential option.
He’s a legendary competitor that no doubt would look at this as a unique challenge and complement to his legacy. The only other situation that would compel him back to coaching besides LSU is if DeBoer was fired (obviously not going to happen) and he was brought back to right the ship at Bama similar to Bob Stoops and Barry Alvarez.

People are probably overthinking this. There is little doubt LSU reached out to Saban (why wouldn’t they?) and it’s possibly Saban really is mulling it over for all of the reasons others have highlighted. Miss Terry will no doubt play a big part in the decision and I’m sure they are considering all possibilities (if of course the target really isn’t known and on board as others have pointed it out may be). Saban loves the challenge and obviously still has a connection to LSU so it’s not an impossibility.

Newsom’s gross negligence during the Palisades wildfire will sink any chance he thinks he has at the Presidency.

Kelly was probably checked out for months. I doubt he put in any actual prep time. I'm sure LSU has the goods on him to make this type of decision at this point in the season/his contract.

Glad he’s gone.
He's been checked out for a long time. His house will probably be on the market tomorrow.
In hindsight, what did Brian Kelly ever bring to the table?

Yes, given his record at Cincinnati and Notre Dame he was considered one of the "whales" during our last coaching search even if he couldn't win the big game at ND but in historical context, what did BK actually bring to the table? He didn't strike me as much of a recruiter, relied heavily on coordinators (never really had much of a sideline presence), wasn't well liked and wasn't much of a motivator. It's an honest question given the passage of time.

Must be nice to make $800k/month not to do your job.

You at least make Saban tell you no.
Let us thank “KELLY GOTTA GEAUX” sign guy
Posted by TakingStock on 10/26/25 at 7:24 pm
He held that sign in prime viewing position all game and ABC kept showing him. He played no small part in this firing. Truly the GOAT!

We need an under 45 up and comer who can navigate the NIL era or someone like Kiffin. I don’t see any in between.

The old guy with the “KELLY GOTFA GEAUX” sign in the end zone was truly the GOAT.

It's rich that Kelly is telling a lowly ST analyst "that will cost you your job" - buck stops with you, buddy!

LSU is now in discussions and negotiations to move on from Kelly and the $54 million buyout they would owe him if he were fired. LSU obviously doesn’t want to pay that number in its entirety, hoping for a compromise from Kelly, who just turned 64 years old Saturday.
What do they have to potentially get Kelly to compromise on the buyout figure?

He probably doesn’t really care. He’s getting paid a boatload of money as is, and he’ll walk away with $53 million and never have to work again in his life.
