Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

[Dale]

Who cares. We have a shit ton of low key O&G donors with “FU money” from Lafayette to Shreveport and the Haynesville Shale that solely donate to athletics that the price is inconsequential. More importantly, I’m just glad he’s fired…not “let go” but fired.

 

[jprue24]

Because it will be offset by future earnings if he doesn't want to sit out until 2031.

Even I don't think he's a big enough asshole to go to his next job for 5 bucks and an Olive Garden gift card a year.

I think he can do the years.

One of the best days ever! Colts win and Kelly is getting canned! GO IRISH!

They just had to put a picture of Freeman down there

I think he can do the time.

There is no chance that arrogant asshole retires after being fired.
He's taking a job somewhere that at a minimum gets him in the CFP before he retires.

This is gonna be an amazing night. CFB Twitter and Reddit are all joined in celebration.

All grudges are on the side for one evening.

It’s like that scene at the end of Return of the Jedi, where the Death Star blows up and everyone is partying together.

The Ewoks playing drums and dancing are Central Michigan and Cincinnati fans.

Everyone is in on the action and loving every second.

Between 2 bowl games and the Kelly hiring ND has really fucked LSU in the last decade and we really didn't even do it on purpose.

Freeman and Kiffin gonna be really busy coaching like 4 different teams each next year.

What if PSU replaces black Brian Kelly with white Brian Kelly?

Bayou Bengals are now the Buyout Bengals.

That dude should be punted to the moon

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Other than his face matching the purple uniforms this was such an awful hire for everyone except BK. SOB walking away with 50 Million.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

glad they named Frank Wilson as interim. Usually, the interim gets the team to their emotionally highest in that first game post firing. Y’all play Bama so maybe they can pull off the upset?! It’s not like LSU is devoid of talent & I’m sure they love Wilson.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Has Kelly thought about a less challenging destination?
Grand Valley St or some such?

 

[Bane]

Kelly looks done coaching. He just doesn't have the juice or the fire anymore. At the very least, I could see him taking a year off.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

So this will be unpopular, and I’m not defending the guy. But he DID rebuild this program. Yeah, he was a shit fit at LSU. But I can see him making a program like BC or Rutgers somewhat formidable. I suspect we haven’t seen the last of Ol purple face…

It’s all about context. I can’t imagine a better HC who actually wanted the ND job when the Irish hired BK. Couple that with the failure of the 3 previous HC, ND getting BK was perfect timing. Again, what better HC were they gonna get? I’m thankful he brought ND as far as he did. I wanted him fired after 2016 but to his credit (& Elko/Lea), he turned it around. Now, ND is in the best spot possible w/ MF & I‘ll feel zero sympathy for BK getting shitcanned in LSU. He’ll walk away w/ generational wealth but he’ll never be able to buy character/reputation. Again…he’s the Hillary Clinton of CFB so he should probably ride off into the sunset & out of the public eye.

Hat tip to whomever is responsible for the title change.

This here.

BK is loathsome now but he was great for us from 2010 through 2012 and again from 2017 onward. Then he apparently decided he did what he could do, and decided to shoot his shot for a natty. OK. It showed him to be an asshole, and didn’t work out for him or for LSU. But it has for us.

Now he’s a wealthy man and we are a year-in year-out contender. Alls well that ends well.

 

[ab2cmiller]

From Brice:

Exactly this. I’ve been saying it since day 1 when BK got his golden parachute that I didn’t think he gave 2 F’s if he were to be fired.

BK was trying to get fired today if he said he would agree to firing the OC but would also fire the OL coach. That was a brilliant move manipulating the AD to firing him.

This was not a move of someone trying to save his job. He got exactly what he wanted.

LSU may have “won” today, but as far as BK is concerned, he is the real winner and is laughing all the way to the bank.

Personally, I believe LSU is a better job than Florida, but if Freeman immediately told Florida no, I feel even more confident LSU is a no for multiple reasons.

1) LSU seems hellbent to go a completely different route with fit. I highly doubt they double dip to another ND coach that is also a “Yankee”
2) There is no shot in hell Freeman wants to follow in Kelly’s footsteps at all
3) Freeman and his wife already chose ND over LSU once when he was becoming DC. The reasons they chose ND are probably even more positive and prominent now than they were 4.5 years ago.

I can’t emphasize to you all how proud I am
of LSU for having the stones to firing his ass…

#3 for me is the biggest piece of it all. He had a chance to go to LSU once and turned them down flat. I just think Freeman is a midwestern guy and clearly feels comfortable with his family there.

Now Kelly is shopping down a different aisle.
