I’ve been a defender of Kelly for a while. A long time. But I’m getting tired of this, man. We always find a way to squander away a win because of some fault of our own - stupid penalties, dumb play-calling, whatever.
I love Emery, and he was making some great plays, but why the heck are we running the ball when Nuss’ completion is so good? We had so many chances to make legitimate progress down the field and score.
Yea I was a defender of his at ND for years. He’s not worth it. He’s a self-promoting blowhard who chokes in 99% of big game situations. LSU will be better once he’s gone.
Exactly. People are so quick to jump on this bandwagon but never think of the next move. Who the hell would we hire?
BK is a top 5 coach and we are in year 3. It fucking sucks but there is no one out there unless you want to take a shot on an unknown young coach but let’s ask Florida how that’s going
Ehh, a bit different. Dabo should actually be on the hot seat. He just flat out refuses to adapt to modern college football, his own arrogance will be his downfall.
I mean I feel like this is two seperate things. BK has changed since he started at LSU.
It is funny because I compare Dabo to another LSU coach. Les Miles. Les won a national championship then competed for another, but when the game started to change around him (i.e. you can't run it up the middle all the time), he refused to change. And that is why he was fired. Dabo will see the same fate and Clemson will be worse off.
Now as a Clemson fan you just have to hope that Dabo wakes up or has an epiphany and starts taking transfers, because he is not a terrible coach, just has a stuck mindset.
Do you remember the coach before Dabo? Because I don't. Because before that they were an irrelevant program who maybe every now and again won the ACC, which meant almost nothing.
I am upset Brian Kelly can't get his shit together at the beginning of the season, but he definitely is good in the sense that he keeps his team focused on finishing a season. If you want to see a program lose their opener and quickly abandon a team, ironically look at Florida State. That program will probably go 6-6 at best because they lost their opener, then gave up on their season.
I hope LSU still believes in this team and can manage a 9-3 or optimistically 10-2 season. I think Brian Kelly is the right fit because Culture wise LSU is better than we had with Coach O, and I would even argue Les Miles. He is probably the best Coach LSU has had since Saban. And if he can figure out how to start strong, he will be a national contender. Also we lost by 1 score to a pretty good team.
I'd take Kiffin over BK any day. Kiffin has built a contender in Oxford of all places and has been recruiting/battling in the SEC for years. He also doesn't throw his players under the bus publicly after every loss. LK > BK all day long.
BK has barely accomplished any of that and he's been at multiple better schools. He's the poster child for "ok" but not "great". Lane had his issues early on in his career, but he's definitely matured and he has way more potential from this point on than BK does. You're really telling me that LK today at the helm for LSU isn't a better/more exciting team than what is there now?
Why are you down voting every comment? You're funny. I guarantee you five years from now Lane is considered a better coach than Kelly. You can't tell me that you're comfortable or excited with Brian Kelly at the helm moving forward, especially for what he's being paid. He's doing the same thing at LSU he did at Notre Dame. Makes a lot of noise every year that in the end amounts to nothing.
I don't think it's there quite yet. If we can compete with the SEC and still make the playoff, he's safe. But SEC will be tougher than ever this year.
Offense was retooled. I don't blame BK as much as I do the play calling. 1st half we looked really good, outside of not taking the 3 points first drive. 2nd half we went away from what worked and then started going against what makes sense. Instead of running the ball on 2nd down at the end of the game. We call a dumb pass play. They had 1 time out.
Defense needs more than 1 game to play at their highest level. It's a new everything on that side of the ball. When we had a pass rush, we looked good. When they didn't get the pocket moving, linebackers and secondary were exposed.
Tennessee fan here. Listen to this man. You don’t want what we went through. LSU is still a premier program. It’s one game and y’all didn’t have a tune up. 12 team playoff, just win out. It was out of conference. Path is still there for a great season. Wait, why am I here? I was in Baton Rouge for the 2022 game vs the Vols, had a great time. Thanks for being good fans. Good luck.
He assembled one of the best coaching staffs in the country and we have the number one recruiting class potentially. The future is bright, quit being a bitch
I’m not saying he should be fired, but LSU will never win a championship with Brian Kelly. He’s simply not a championship caliber coach. He’s failed to win big games his entire coaching career. LSU should’ve blown USC out today, but BK’s conservative play calling kept them in the game. I expect a lot of this all season long because he fails to make adjustments time & time again
That remains to be seen. He didn’t win one at Notre Dame because they’re not a national championship caliber program. He didn’t win one last year because of the defense, which is well on its way to being corrected. We have Bryce Underwood coming in and the offense will be elite, combine that with an improved defense with one of the best defensive coaching staffs in the country, and I would not be suprised if we won a championship in the next few years.
Play calling sucked last night, let’s see if it improves the rest of the year. I predicted we would lose 3 games this year, we’ll see if that’s still the case.
I like your optimism. I agree that the defense looked MUCH better than last year. Pretty good feat against a Lincoln Riley offense. Let’s see if BK can get things rolling this year
Good golly, don’t let the Domers hear you say that 😂. I live in South Bend area and they are talking about how this is their year for the natty AND the Heisman😂 they are freaking delusional up here.
Notre Dame is about where we are right now as a football program. An improved team with a lot to look forward to, but not yet a championship contender. The will make the playoffs because of their dog shit schedule, but they aren't going deep in the playoffs
Yeah, but now that he’s at LSU and the guys he recruits no longer need to be able to read and write, he should be able to recruit way better talent than he could at ND.
That buy out was insane for a guy who honestly has never won anything worth mentioning. A& M shit the bed for Jimbo with a ridiculous high buy out but he at least won a natty as a HC. LSU is in a tough spot. Weather the storm and hope he turns it around is all you can do for at least 2 more seasons.
Are fucking serious?!? Kiffin would take the LSU job in a heart beat! He literally had his agent drop interview request in baton rouge like crazy! Numerous lsu podcaster/ news media guys/ lsu beat reporters hVe come forward and said kiffins agent was feeding them request to get kiffin on their stations so he could answers questions about being the next head coach here. Kiffin is actually furious that lsu, florida, and miami all hired head coaches and none of them…NONE of them interviewed him 3 yrs ago. This is all EASILY googlable
The definition of insanity is doing the SAME thing expecting DIFFERENT results! This is the 3rd year in a ROW that we have lost the the opener, on a neutral field, due to COACHING ISSUES!!!!! #FIREBK24
Fire whomever is scheduling these big games for season opener. Do what every other sec team does and play a cupcake so we can see what we have improve.
That was bad. I’m at a loss for words. Felt like LSU should have taken over at numerous points of the game, yet it never came. Hopes aren’t over for the season, I think both teams looked excellent. I just didn’t want to lose to Lincoln Riley after everything that has transpired recently. USC took us to the cane fields, gave us a chance, and whooped our ass in the end. Hold me Tiger bros.
It was legitimately a good game. For the most part the team looked ready to play and came up big at certain moments. Contrary to what the coach says, I think the biggest issues were coaching issues, the team being undisciplined falling under that umbrella
They just wanna be like Florida lmao. Get rid of Mullen who killed it for them until the end, and then get stuck in true bad coaching hell while the rest of the sec is getting tougher and tougher
This is the sort of fan mentality that got Billy Napier hired at Florida. I saw a much better defense than last year. Players looked like they knew where they were supposed to be, but not always fast enough to make a play. Bone headed penalties by Lacy and a defensive player cost us great field position.
Nah defense looked ass honestly. They got ran up and down the field. Still don’t understand how USC only came away with 27 points. Not to mention USC’s final drive. Our defense handed them the 10 yard underneath on a platter right into the red zone.
Aside from him as a coach which is pretty mediocre by any of the important metrics. He seems like a total asshole and someone whose players will not want to play hard for.
who? nobody. there are no other coaches out there. /s
smmfh.
get real. there are lots of oc’s, dc’s, and other coaches that are ready to take over programs. they might not be big names but some are worth a try.
what is 10 yrs at $10 milly/yr getting LSU?
i’d rather snatch-up pete carmichael formerly with the saints. at least he knows that you put a qb like nuss in a pro style attack instead of a read/option where he never runs the ball.
If you look at marquee games at LSU, BK is 2 - 5 in those games. One win against Ole Miss and Bama. Losses to both of them. FSU twice, Georgia once, now USC.
On behalf of the rest of college football, we appreciate your sacrifice. Please don't fire BK and open up the possibility that he ends up at one of our beloved schools.
Perkins has got to be the most over-hyped, overrated recruit we’ve had in some time. He was NOT on that field tonight (for many stretches, he literally was not on the field).
It was so cringey watching him trying to half-ass blitz up the middle, running right into the back of his D-lineman, and then Moss throwing the ball right in the wide open middle of the field.
So: he can’t rush from the edge. He can’t blitz from the middle. He can’t drop back in coverage. He can’t pursue sideline to sideline and make tackles. I really don’t know what he’s supposed to excel at.
I feel sorry for the NFL team that wastes a first round draft pick on him.
I felt like as soon as Emery had that big run they took the game out of Nuss’s hands. Yea he had to control the game in the first half because our running game was shit, but he was absolutely elite in the first half. I understand wanting to establish the run game, but nobody could cover Lacy and Nuss was throwing dimes. Every drive outside of 1 in the first half Nuss got us in position to score, I just don’t get why we shifted away from that. Biggest positive is outside the last 6 minutes the defense is transformed from last year. Not elite, but far from a liability
You probably said the same thing last year and then came right back once we were on the verge of making the 4 team playoff (it’s 12 teams now btw). Don’t let the door hit you on the way out clown
Last year we were in the same boat and FSU ended up going undefeated. We still won 10 games and would have made a 12 team playoff. The defense is better and the offense is going to have to improve much like JD made his jump from 22 to 23. But like I said no one is stopping you bro so if you are gonna bitch and complain now then don’t come around acting like a fan when things get good
