It’s his last season at LSU. No doubt. A successful grift.

I felt bad that Kelly sent Nussmeier back out there in the rain for a nothing score, but it wasn’t the first time that Kelly sent a guy out there when he probably shouldn't have.

I almost feel bad for the guy(but not really...). Things can always turn around, but at the moment, it looks like he effed up royally by ditching ND for seemingly greener pastures. He might not make it past this year. Imagine if he loses to Vandy, then what is he going to do? Dude's 63, is he going to start again somewhere else?

His contract is guaranteed. If he does get canned I bet he takes a job with lower expectations and eases his way into retirement.

He can’t win at LSU? With a Heisman winner last year? A Saban-less SEC this year? That stadium was empty for the fourth quarter! We might have done better with Meadows if he was in Baton Rouge instead of South Bend. His ego got him in over his head but at least he got paid for it. Swarbrick saved his ass when he took over hiring his coordinators and S&C. Saved him from himself.

Obviously he is going to be great financially. I didnt think money was the reason he left ND. I was under the impression he actually thought ND was holding back his genius. That if he had LSU level talent and facilities surely he would have competed with Bama in 2012. That he would thrive at LSU. Instead, barring an upset, ND will be back in the playoffs while LSU won't. Instead of solidifying his position as a top tier coach, he is doing the opposite. He is writing his history as just another coach that didnt have the chops to make it at an elite SEC school like a Muschamp. If he stayed at ND he could have been a legend.

You’ll see him on tv somewhere.

Reading tigerdroppings.com I am having flashbacks... Same complaints, same statements from Kelly.

I dunno, I always figured this was his pre-retirement money grab. Don't be shocked if he rides this buyout right to TV.
It wasn't like he was poorly paid at Notre Dame. I always thought it was about the chance to win a title, which he thought would be easier at LSU. Apparently not.

Either way, if/when he and LSU part ways I doubt he steps down a notch - to, where, like Syracuse or BC? - to keep coaching. What would be the point of that when he can be on a beach sipping mai tais and doing TV one day a week?

With two weeks to prepare, LSU gave up 300 yards rushing, at home and at night, to that Alabama team? How did they let Milroe run for 185?
