He's done well for some of the big hires I'll give you that. But you also left out some guys that did really well also. Kalen DeBoer was also hired by Washington in 2022 and obviously has done better than Kelly. And obviously so has Freeman. You're a good poster and I like your takes. So I'm not trying to be combative, you'll feel just like me about BK soon enough...it's right around the corner..haha
Oh, I’m there, but it’s also not the end of the world as well. Look at the recruiting, look at USC, FSU, OU, etc. It could be a hell of a lot worse. We aren’t in shambles like FSU. Kelly will win a ton of games at LSU (he’ll probably average around 9, 10)…we just have to ride the contract out.
Yep, after he “broke” the wind record.
Meh. Let’s look at the wins and losses. Also, frankly, if we endured some of Freeman’s losses, Kelly’s buyout would have been made payable to his Estate.
The only "bigger" hire than Kelly was maybe Riley, maybe. The best hires that cycle look to have been Lanning and Freeman.
I meant schools (LSU, Florida, USC, Oklahoma, and so forth). I forgot about Lanning/Oregon. Good call.
That’s the odd thing. He took over an abysmal situation and he did the best year one. He’s regressed since then. Generally, programs will have an upward trajectory upon hiring a good coach ….
When I moved to the Florida panhandle, golf suddenly took up much more of my time.
With Ed’s guys??
Weis Jr. seems to be picking up cred. in the SEC as the OC at Ole Miss.
Kelly's still a complete dickhead, but he had a reason to be frustrated.
Weis Sr. was an excellent NFL offensive coordinator. Running a high-level college program in full was not the job for him.
Might need some emotion management training…….stern coaching is one thing………
“It seemed to go downhill after ND fired him.”
They gave Weis generational wealth for starting out 4-2 in his first season because he almost beat the Poodle Trojan Dynasty. He rode Brady Quinn to back to back BCS bowls, where they were embarrassed in both in significant fashion. By year five, his team went 0-4 in November.
IIRC, there is an article or two out there on the BK/LSU negotiations. They had been talking for a while during the season. He was at a recruits house with some of his staff when he stepped outside to take a call and accepted the job. This wasn't something that just happened all of a sudden.
Perhaps the recruit enjoys Brian’s grindin’?
Charlie 's lack of HC experience was obvious. His staff was always bickering with each other and he didn't know how to fix that. Can't have a winning culture if the coaches can't get along.
And having two DCs...
Yep, that was the source of a lot of the bickering. Brown and Tenuta didn't see eye to eye.
I mean... Who would have thought having two guys do the job of one, who aren't eye to eye would not work out... haha
