Matt Fortuna on the latest Independent Podcast with Pete Sampson:
"Me and you (Pete Sampson) said this a million times, and we got killed for it. Kelly figured something out in life that is enviable. He did not work particularly hard when he was out of the office. He made a lot of money, he golfed a lot, he went to the lake. He figured out how to win 10 games a year on auto-pilot without really picking up the phone to recruit. Coaches liked working for him because he was not an overbearing boss. I don't know how he figured this out in a profession where the burnout rate is incredibly high, but he did. And he went to the SEC and tried the same thing...and that's ultimately how it fell apart, he felt he could get away with not doing a lot of things that are expected at LSU."
I got a chuckle when he said this: "From my understanding, Brian Kelly was really close with Kim Mulkey. Nobody is close with Kim Mulkey. That's a hilarious comedy that needs to be made."
