Brian Kelly Fired

A fool and their money are soon parted.

There are plenty of fools when it comes to the world of college athletics. That won't change anytime soon.

Kelly basically killed a guy and then impersonated a southern, he is one of the most hateable coaches in the history of CFB. It's a shame he gets a buyout.

"Most hateable".......Blames everybody else, visibly yelling at coaches and players during games, always has a fall guy as a shield.

I have a kid and two step grandkids that went to LSU, more stories are starting to leak out about how unlikeable this guy was. It will be interesting to see what they let leak out.

So far;
He was disengaged to the point he was on a beach during recruiting/signing seasons and did little recruiting at all.
Dismissed a lot of local long time football staff including the strength coach Tommy Moffitt after 21 years. Tommy was loved in Baton Rouge and is now at A&M. LSU has been pushed around by everybody since he left.
Alienated the high school football coaches in the state. As a result a lot of in state talent went elsewhere.

There's more but I'm tired of typing.

Yes, Brian Kelly seems to be very unlikable. Any person who constantly blames others for their mistakes and never accepts any responsibility is a poor excuse for a leader.

If you’ve spent time in Louisiana (and many of you have), it quickly becomes obvious that it’s a unique place. Coming in from somewhere else and trying to act like an insider was Kelly’s first mistake. And it was completely unnecessary.

Add poor staffing decisions and Kelly’s propensity to be tone deaf in a variety of situations and failing to perform with a loaded roster to the list. And there you go.

Regardless, LSU’s AD should shoulder some of the blame for this hire. There were lots of red flags before Kelly was hired, but they chose to ignore them.

If they get a true cajun as a coach everyone will need a translator for press conferences and the players from anywhere else wouldn't understand either. So difficult to get a good fit I assume.

Now Farmer Fran from Waterboy is in my head

He would be an HR problem. He like “homeboys naked.”
