Brian Kelly fired
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
He was never a good fit at LSU. Always a coach from the north kind of guy. And do you really want this guy coaching your team….
So cringe.
Not if they’re serious about football. Zero chance. Are they showing improvement year to year? How would you explain that to alumni and big boosters?
Kelly was trash. Any solid coach should win and be in the top 15 while at LSU.
Yes, this is true. But college football today is much different from even 2019 with coach O. Phil Knight will ensure OR can get whoever they want, whether that’s a HS or Portal recruit.
This is probably a controversial opinion on my part, but I would have Oregon as the #1 job in the country as long as Phil Knight is still breathing.
Some of these schools should just pay $20 million a year on two year deals.
Miss on a QB and you get fired. Crazy expectations. AD said they were hoping for multiple SEC and National championships.

Some say Kelly oughta be in prison for negligent manslaughter. At Notre Dame, that fine institution, Kelly ordered student manager Declan Sullivan to film a 2010 practice from the top of a scissor lift despite dangerously high winds. The lift collapsed, killing the young man. Notre Dame said they were sorry. And Kelly has kept on coaching and making tens of millions of dollars. Now he'll get $53 million NOT to coach LSU, another mighty fine institution. Meanwhile, a young man is still dead because Kelly forced him to film a football practice under dangerous conditions. But Kelly got away with it, aided and abetted by the fine folks at Notre Dame.
Here's two of the many, many stories about this senseless death: https://news.nd.edu/news/notre-dame...imary-factors-led-to-declan-sullivan-tragedy/ and https://www.businessinsider.com/notre-dame-student-death-report-2011-4
You used "the law" and "down there" [Louisiana] in the same sentence. Interesting . . .
Is it? I mean, you do know LSU is in Louisiana, right? And Oregon is in Oregon? Anybody who would leave Oregon for LSU might need a bran scan.
Worst education in the country down there in them Confederate States. No money for books, food for the poor, or health care, but $53 mil for a nut job not to coach football anymore, why, you betcha Billy Bob.
Dude should have been banned from coaching after he made that kid go up on the lift during a storm at practice. That kid died because of him and he didn't care.
I get not wanting Fitz in the Big Ten (especially at a rival) because he would likely be successful.
That said, Madison is probably the most liberal campus in the conference. It makes Iowa City look like an NRA convention. Pat's recent history won't pass muster with Bucky.
I think he was vindicated, certainly made a lot of money off getting fired. Too bad the perception is still there.

Not sure why. Yes, he has done pretty well at ISU in the glorified mid-major conference that the Big 12 is, but I don’t see him succeeding in the P2 where the competition is much stiffer. He can stay at ISU forever, get 7-10 wins against weak teams, and be a God to ISU fans.
NCAA has turned into the NFL in terms of coaching
Zero loyalty, with the transfer portal (free agency) it's win now, or we'll find someone else

Not much can be done about that.
Support just D3/NAIA then, reduced poaching rate.
April Fool's Day is long past.
DIII is pure college football. Wartburg, Luther, Hope College up in Michigan.
yeah and their rosters are YUGE
Wartburg has about 150 rostered, so competition is fierce for playing time
Top 10, but not Top 5. Top 5 (in no particular order) would be Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Michigan, OSU. Next 5 (in no particular order) would be Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, Texas, LSU.
It's quite amazing what AI can do.
Maybe Boston College will hire him. Would love to listen to that intro presser.
Yes and the kid literally tweeted minutes before it blew over that he might die up there. That’s why I despise Kelly.
