Brian Kelly to LSU, per report

[Grahambo]

Lmao he is SO FAR OUT OF HIS DEPTH it is unbelievable. But it doesn’t matter, cuz whether he wins a single game or not he’s going to get the $$$.

Its like watching a wreck in slo-mo.

Kelly was Mr Corporate CEO his entire tenure at ND. Maybe he loosened up a bit in his last few years, but idk why thinks he’s a comedian now

 

[Huntr]

I didn't think it was that big of a deal, from him or her.

I think the bigger issue is he doesn't understand that his jokes aren't really all that funny (I get it, he's trying to be looser, lose the uptight hard-ass image that he has), and kind of make things worse because CFB media and fans live to shit themselves at every opportunity.

He'd be far better off if he just played it straight up, cordial, but not try to be buddy-buddy.

Maybe because as LAX alluded to, Kelly win or lose is going to have the last laugh?

Power trip.

he's always tried to be comedic though, remember the "execute them" joke etc

 

[zelezo vlk]

A comedian with terrible timing, it's perfect!

He said "the last few years"
That execution quote was just 1 year ago.
And I agree...he's getting way too comfortable I think

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Ouch

Just another glaring difference between BK and MF:

MF opens his presser: "Happy Labor Day, sorry to drag you all here, you know you guys don't have to be here. Anyways.."

BK: "WTF are you late for? Did you have too much fun after a long weekend? Show up on time." I understand he was probably kidding but he doesn't have that much rapport with the LSU beat yet.

Here’s $10 worth of advice for Brian. Never joke in Baton Rouge after a loss.

That seems like sound advice.

 

[Valpodoc85]

Also don't go out to eat after a loss...

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Man I don’t think I’d be going to any parties at BKs house after watching him grind on recruits.

Limit to 55 OVs. Anyone wanna guess what that is a reduction from?

I remember when Duval Kamara missed the bowl game at the start of his tenure, something about his car went into a snow drift, I don't remember all the details. But he made some "yeah, I'd like to stick him in a snow drift" comment.

He's always done it. Wasn't an issue then, isn't now.

Dude's got a dry sense of humor that rarely hits.

$5k? Lol

Yep, or 1/20,000th of Brian Kelly's new contract! Really bringing down the hurt on themselves

Definitely dry humor. It's sad how click-baitey the media made the execution joke though. "OMG, he wants the team murdered!" It's hard to tell if the younger generation really can't read between the lines anymore or they purposefully stretch the story for the clicks. Just silly either way.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

What a complete joke.

 

[Bishop2b5]

$5k? Lol

That'll teach them a lesson. Steaks are off the training table menu at LSU until further notice.

60?

56 lol. They are losing exactly 1 OV.

 

[ulukinatme]

56 lol. They are losing exactly 1 OV.

Gotta wonder if there's anything really stopping them from taking an unofficial and just floating the family cash for expenses.

I think LSU is going to be really good, really quickly.

Hopefully this prognostication is as bad as your feelings on Dante.

 

[Bishop2b5]

In all fairness (and I'm usually the last person to defend LSU), the token punishment probably fits the crime. It wasn't a huge offense. Mostly just a former assistant meeting a recruit during the Covid-related dead period and giving him some gear. He knew it was a violation and clearly did it intentionally, but I wouldn't call the violation itself a huge deal.

I thought I read - though haven't seen widely reported so maybe I misunderstood or it's not really a thing - that in some cases NIL funds are paying for unofficials. If so this is basically already happening.

 

[Irish#1]

Recruit and family could just show up and be walking the campus when they inadvertently run into Kelly. Kind of like what Saban did a few years back when he was in LA and just happened to run into a prized recruit.

Of course you do.
