Obviously I don’t like the guy, but LSU fans hate for BK is pretty unhinged. You’d think he was missing bowl games every year when in reality he has a 71% win percentage.
2019 made them think they were God's gift to whole fucking world and they're having a hard time realizing they're always a second tier SEC program that's been lucky a few times this century.

When he came to ND, getting back to 9 wins was an incredible success. When he went to LSU, they recently won a title. The expectations were way higher and he was a clear outsider. Was either going to produce serious results our flame out spectacularly. No middle ground.

LSU fans have never been particularly hinged but BK is going to break the streak of LSU coaches winning a title and they're not taking that well. Especially considering BK was the most heralded hire of the past 4 and they had fully bought into the BK fed national narrative that Kelly was a championship coach held back by ND.

Yeah, they didn't just win the title, as Irish5Saint mentioned, they won a title with a team that gets bandied about as one of the best ever assembled.

I totally get that. On the other hand, in a year with little offense, Tiger fans have been taking relative pride in the D. Looks like the last time A&M dropped 49+ in the house of a power conference opponent was 2014 South Carolina.

A 12 team playoff should have LSU in it almost every year.
The only time LSU strung together four Top 12 finishes, the players might've been all white. They integrated during this time, but finding the first black player to actually get on the field isn't easy.

Saban never strung together two consecutive Top 12 finishes at LSU.

What network is going to willingly put his smug ass on tv? He’s not funny. He’s not engaging. He’s not someone people would like to watch. I actually tend to think he’s one of the few coaches that wouldn’t get swooped up by a pregame show or halftime show.
Sounds like someone NBC would put in the booth for ND games.

Scott Woodward hired both Jimbo Fisher and Brian Kelly

I am not sure he’s gonna want to fire Kelly. Seems likely damming his career.

His problem has always been that he thinks he is smart than everyone and he isn’t. His arrogance is the only thing that stands out with him.

I know he did good things for the program but he clearly was a bad representative for the program and university.

Starting to feel like LSU somehow beats Bama next game so the BK cycle of abuse can reset itself.

(1-17 all time in games against top 5 teams, the lone win against DJ Ukelele be dammed)

BK won’t be the first to go. That honor will go to the LSU AD Scott Woodward. LSU is in the midst of finding a new President. No way they let Woodward make any big decisions in the meantime. Woodward is responsible for both the Jimbo Fisher hiring at aTm & BK at LSU.

At least a dozen LSU Twitter accounts I’ve seen have posted some version of a “stay tuned” within an hour or two ago, before the media flurry just now.

Without a President, apparently the Governor and boosters are making this call. Seems more likely to result in a rash (right or wrong) decision due to that.
