The Failure That is Brian Kelly · JustIN Time

0:00
Best day of my life was Sunday, October 26th when I sat there
0:05
and refreshed Twitter for five hours waiting to hear news of
0:08
either Joe Sloan or Brian Kelly getting fired and when I heard
0:10
it was the big dog in charge, Bryant.
0:13
Not even the big dog, more like the little kitten in charge in
0:18
that he was getting fired. I jumped up.
0:21
I stayed up until midnight that night.
0:23
I was so excited. Welcome into a special edition
0:26
of the Just in Time podcast. I'm your host, Justin.
0:28
And let's talk about Brian Kelly being fired.
0:33
We're going to talk about Brian Kelly being fired.
0:35
We're going to talk about former players.
0:37
But the media is saying we're also going to hit on the future
0:41
of the team and where we think it'll go.
0:44
Maybe I'm no expert. And when I say where I think
0:49
it'll go, I mean where the rest of the season's going.
0:51
I'm no expert in the coaching search.
0:53
I have a few people that I would like to have.
0:55
Maybe that's the thing about this.
0:56
One coach could have success somewhere else.
0:58
But come here and it'll be like Brian Kelly.
1:01
He won't buy into the culture. He won't set his own culture and
1:05
his own standards, and he'll do this.
1:07
But who knows? You know, if you're going to be
1:09
successful here, you have to do like Jeh Johnson.
1:12
Jay Johnson's from California, he kosher Arizona, but he came
1:16
in, he embraced the fans, he embraced the state of Louisiana,
1:21
he made it home and he works his behind us that don't sound like
1:27
he works his ass off to put on a good product on and off the
1:33
field every single year. And it has resulted in two
1:37
national championships in four years, 2 regional, two regional
1:43
appearances that both went to a regional final in two national
1:47
championships. And that's the difference
1:49
between Brian Kelly and Jay Johnson.
1:51
But it's two different sports. So let's get into more.
1:54
Let's talk about what led down to this because we've I've
1:57
repeated it multiple times. I had Will on here as a kind of
2:00
devil's advocate. The fact of the matter is Brian
2:06
Kelly just didn't have it. Maybe he never had it.
2:09
Maybe he just went all of those games because of the teams he
2:12
was at. He could get better players and
2:14
better recruits to those schools then he did in those week
2:18
conferences he played in and he just fooled us all.
2:21
But I will say this from what I'm seeing about other, you
2:26
know, times he was there that he they plays that he's played for,
2:32
don't like him at one point. This was when he was at Central
2:35
Michigan. I read earlier today he was at
2:40
they were having a party and two of his coaches were thought they
2:44
were invited and he made them shovel snow in the valet parking
2:50
before he left to come to LSU. Apparently he was on a
2:52
recruiting trip and he was at the this family's house.
2:56
Keep in mind, I'm just saying what I heard today.
3:00
He was at his family's house recruiting, took a phone call
3:03
knowing he was going to LSU and sat there and ate a full plate
3:06
and then proceeded to tell them he was leaving to go to LSU.
3:10
It's stuff like that that, you know, Brian Kelly was very much
3:13
an arrogant prick. He was very much of A, what are
3:17
you doing for me now? He never owned up to his stuff.
3:22
He had failed higher after failed higher.
3:25
I mean, he took a quarterback and Garrett Nesmeyer that threw
3:31
for 6000 yards last year. And now, you know, players, and
3:37
I mean not players, but fans are complaining because they want
3:40
the Van Buren kid to start, which Van Buren looked good in
3:44
garbage time against, you know, But you don't just go from
3:47
throwing 6000 yards to barely breaking 2000 if your coach is
3:53
not holding you back. And I think Joe Sloan was a huge
3:55
part of that. You know, Joe Sloan couldn't do
3:59
anything right. He just wasn't a good he's not a
4:01
good offensive coordinator. He'd never be a good offensive
4:03
coordinator. I don't care where he goes.
4:05
I think Brian Kelly's a joke. And I think his coaching career
4:08
might be over with because it like for Paul Finebaum said he
4:11
is the most hated man in the national media when it comes to
4:15
football coaches. Let's just go over the failure
4:18
that he had there. On paper, it doesn't really look
4:20
like failure until you get deep into it.
4:23
But let's get let's just he's overall coaching career at LSU.
4:28
And by the way, I've said multiple times Brian Kelly was
4:31
going to be the first coach since Nick Saban to not win a
4:34
national championship at LSU. He just didn't have the right
4:37
stuff. He didn't buy into the state
4:42
from Louisiana. He just never bought in what
4:44
should have been a dead red giveaway of a walking red flags
4:47
when they introduced that man out of men's LSU men's
4:51
basketball game of all they could have introduced him like a
4:54
women's basketball game, but they introduced him at the men's
4:58
game. Couple of things that I had
5:01
wrong with him would do this After we talk about his record
5:04
at LSU, there's on the on this thing.
5:07
It looks like he was a good coach. 34 and 14 and 3 1/2
5:15
seasons. 22 was his their best year with the SEC Championship
5:18
appearance with Jaden Daniels. His first year they were 19 and
5:22
10 overall in the SEC and 22 they went ten and four with a
5:28
loss in the ICC Championship game to Georgia, a loss to Texas
5:31
A&E, and went six and two in the ICC and 23 they went ten and
5:37
three, six and two in the ICC and Jaden Daniels won the
5:40
Hoffman Trophy. Brian Kelly couldn't do get a
5:44
defense together to do anything so that was a waste of the
5:46
season. 4 went nine and four with few offensive collapses,
5:54
defensive collapses and A5 and three record in the SEC, which
5:59
landed him a bowl game in Texas. Now come back to this year and
6:04
he's went five and three, two and three in the SEC.
6:07
Two close games to teams we should have beat if Joe Sloan
6:11
was an offensive coordinator and calling plays like run it up the
6:14
middle, let's throw a wide receiver screen.
6:16
That hasn't worked since the conception of the wide receiver
6:19
screen, you know, But Brian Kelly again, refused to change
6:23
coordinators, refused to fire on time and hire the right people.
6:26
You know, let's go to the game on this past Saturday, his last
6:29
game where fans, including myself were chanting fire Kelly.
6:33
You know, the first half of that game we came out and they look
6:38
like a real football team. They look like they could be the
6:41
number one team in the country, barring a good offensive
6:43
coordinator in a good play calling game.
6:46
But we ran the ball. We did everything we thought we
6:48
were going to do. We were beating the number one,
6:51
the number, not the number one, the number three team in the
6:54
country, 18 to 14 at halftime. Then for some reason when they
7:01
come out in the second-half, get beat.
7:07
Let me look this up. I know it was 21.
7:10
I left in the fourth quarter, which by the way, before Brian
7:13
Kelly was the coach at LSU. I never left the game early.
7:17
They outscored us 35 to 7 in the second-half of the game, with
7:26
that last seven points coming in garbage time at the end of the
7:29
game with 59 seconds left in the game.
7:32
Literal garbage time. Total yards.
7:35
They out gained as 426 to 278 passing yards.
7:41
We got a slight edge to 18 / 2 O2 rushing yards.
7:45
We only had 60 and they had 200 and 12:24.
7:50
So it's just a bunch of stuff that went on under Brian Kelly.
7:57
Not only that, this season that has been the norm.
8:01
LSU only scored over 20 something points one time, and
8:06
that was against Southeastern. They struggled against Clemson,
8:11
which we thought was a good team at the time and we thought that
8:13
was a good hard win. Clemson's trash this year.
8:17
They struggled at home against a very terrible LA Tech team.
8:21
And I say terrible because we're terrible.
8:23
If we beat you, then you need to rethink your program.
8:26
Which Florida has they fired their coach?
8:28
I think South Carolina, I don't know what happened to them, but
8:33
we didn't play good at all that game either.
8:35
Florida, we should have beat them by 40 points every day.
8:37
Our defense had five intersection, 5 turnovers and we
8:41
scored 20. But OK, you you look at all of
8:44
that, but there's two times in this, the history of this
8:46
program where we got blown 3 times.
8:52
We got blown out at home. One was 11 AM and two were at
8:55
night. That should never happen.
8:59
But two times really should never happen.
9:01
Tennessee came over there and their fans took over our
9:03
stadium. Texas A&M came in Saturday
9:06
night. They took over our stadium.
9:08
Their team came back out the locker room after the game and
9:11
hung out around on our field. That should never, ever happen.
9:16
Yellow Shoes has a history of even when they lose games, teams
9:19
want to get the hell out of there because they just got
9:21
physically beat. They might have won the game,
9:24
but they might have. They definitely lost the fight
9:26
and that just didn't happen. That does hasn't happened under
9:28
Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly's teams if it's
9:30
soft, OK, Well, you look at it and you say he's 34 and 14.
9:33
What are you talking about? Our offensive line couldn't
9:35
block me. Our offensive line has been, we
9:38
only have one good. I don't even know if we had a
9:40
good offensive line under Brian Kelly because for two years we
9:43
had Jaden Daniels and Jaden Daniels was a runner.
9:47
He's a runner. You know, he'll run in when he
9:51
can stay in the pocket and throw it.
9:53
He'll stay in the pocket and throw it, but he's more running
9:56
in the all offensive line lead break because they gave him the
9:58
time he needed to run, you know, but let's move on.
10:01
He never took accountability. He always blamed his players.
10:04
Multiple former players have come out and said that Kelly's
10:08
has come out and said that he was, they've been, they were, he
10:10
was good to them when they were producing.
10:12
As soon as they got hurt, he just backed, backed off, didn't
10:19
talk to him, didn't acknowledge him, didn't even pretend that
10:22
they were real. He just they didn't exist in his
10:25
head. One of his former players went
10:28
as far as to call him the worst human being he's ever met in a
10:30
lot he's ever been around in his life.
10:32
You know, for multiple former players come out and say that
10:35
Brian Kelly is only in it for the money.
10:38
He was only in it for the money. He never really cared.
10:40
He was getting paid regardless, you know, and honestly, I don't
10:45
know if other coaching, other teams that need coaches, there's
10:49
about 5 or 6 of them that need coaches right now.
10:52
I don't think any of them are looking Brian Kelly's way and
10:54
saying, oh, let's get him. Let's get this loser.
10:58
You know, I don't think you can hack it in football nowadays.
11:01
How do you go out there and you brag about spending $20 million
11:04
on a team and then when it all comes down to it, you spend the
11:07
$20 million on a team, but you have no production.
11:10
You sure? Your defense looks amazing at
11:12
times. They look really good at the
11:14
beginning of the season, but wear and tear, injuries, no
11:20
Sloan causing offense to be 3 and out, I swear to God, I think
11:23
that was his favorite formation was three and out, you know, But
11:26
look, let's look at it this way. After that, let's just look at
11:28
the prime example why I think Brian Kelly might have been
11:31
trying to be fired. They come out Texas A&M, The
11:35
team looks totally amazing. They come back after halftime.
11:39
And I don't know where that team in the first half went, but it
11:42
disappeared. It looked like high school kids
11:45
out there playing with NFL players, you know, and that says
11:48
a lot because that is still Texas A&M.
11:50
But Texas A&M is a really good team.
11:52
They find ways to win. But still took Arkansas, whose
11:56
interim coach when he took the job, the first thing he did was
11:58
he fired the whole defensive coaching staff.
12:01
Arkansas took Texas A&M to a 44 to 41 game or something, 45 to
12:09
42 game, something like that. Just goes to show you a
12:13
competent offensive strategy will put you in a position to
12:16
win. And you know, but I feel like
12:19
Brian Kelly benched the whole starting defense, changed him
12:21
out with different players and said they're going to fire me
12:24
and I'm going to get 51 million, $54 million or whatever it is if
12:29
I lose this game. So I'm going to bench all my
12:31
starters and we're going to play the not even the backups.
12:34
We're going to go into crowd and find people and see if they want
12:36
to come out here and play. That's how bad the defense
12:39
played compared to what they did in the first half.
12:42
It looked like 2 totally different teams besides the
12:45
garbage time touchdown Dr. we had at the end of the game.
12:47
I think somebody said we had 14 yards of total offense in the
12:50
second-half and we were trying to do better.
12:54
We were trying and we got 14 total yards of offense.
12:57
I don't think I've ever seen the team try and get 14 total yards
13:02
of offense in 1/2. You know, the first time I've
13:04
ever heard Brian Kelly take accountability is went on
13:08
Saturday night after the game. And I think he only took
13:10
accountability because he was getting fired.
13:12
I think he knew it. I think, sorry, I think the
13:16
writing was on the walls. He didn't have any support from
13:19
anybody. Nobody cared.
13:22
Multiple people said when LSU hired him that they were making
13:25
the wrong choice. You should have listened.
13:27
He came out here with a fake southern accent at one.
13:30
First time we ever heard the man talk.
13:33
Never purchased it, never bought into what we were saying, you
13:37
know, never bought into the fans, the passionate fans
13:40
that'll help you at times, never bought into anything in
13:45
Louisiana. The only thing that man cared
13:47
about was making the money. He didn't care about his
13:49
players. He didn't care about this and
13:51
that. He didn't care.
13:52
All he cared about was himself and his financial gain.
13:55
I don't even think he cared about his family as much as he
13:57
cared about the dollar bill. You know, he just cared about
13:59
the image he was he was portraying, which was a shitty
14:02
image by the way. He always reeked of arrogance.
14:05
Then just goes to let's look at those coaches that Scott, Scott
14:10
Woodard is credited for hiring. Jay Johnson, met him, he's a
14:15
cool dude. You know, no arrogance to him.
14:17
You got a little bit of arrogance, but if you're that
14:19
good, you got to have a little bit of arrogance to get that
14:21
kind of teams put together. Never met Kim Mulkey, but she's
14:25
cool. She's from here.
14:26
She's a championship winning coach.
14:28
She bought in, buy in. Jay Clark bought in, buy in,
14:32
bought into Louisiana, you know, won a national championship.
14:36
Brian Kelly never bought into Louisiana.
14:39
And that's why once that man is fired, we still get recruits
14:45
that committed to LSU because LSU you don't commit to a coach,
14:48
you commit to a team. You commit to the team.
14:50
You commit to the LSU, you commit to the purple and gold.
14:54
Brian Kelly never bought into the purple and gold.
14:57
And that's why Brian Kelly is lucky if he gets a job at Burger
15:00
King. You know, if they said it was a
15:01
toxic locker room, multiple reports said it was a toxic
15:04
locker room. He lost the players.
15:06
You know, you can't go and lose these players and think, oh,
15:09
they're going to play for me. And you can't bang on the table
15:12
every week and say oh, this is not my fault.
15:15
This is this one's fault. This is Witwick's fault from
15:18
being a pussy and missing the games.
15:20
All Brian Kelly's words, not mine.
15:22
We don't. Our team is not compared with
15:25
dipshit. That's your job.
15:26
Your job as a head coach and as a coach is to prepare your team
15:30
and put the best product out on the field.
15:34
I'm a season ticket holder. When they said they were raising
15:37
the prices to the tickets, if Brian Kelly would have finished
15:40
this season as the head coach, I don't know if I'd have bought my
15:42
season tickets for next year. I don't want to pay more money
15:45
after you raise the prices the year before to watch the product
15:49
Brian Kelly puts out on the field and is proud of every
15:52
year. You know, let's look at his
15:53
teams. We lose the first game he's ever
15:55
coached because he couldn't put together a special teams unit.
15:59
A special teams unit, special teams field goal should be one
16:04
of the easiest things to put together.
16:06
You learn that stuff and it doesn't change from high school
16:10
to not even high school. You learn how to block for an
16:12
extra point in peewee football. Not that there's many kickers
16:17
that could kick an extra point in peewee football, but you
16:19
learn how to do that in peewee. Elementary, middle school, high
16:24
school, you learn how to do all of that stuff.
16:27
You know, you learn how to hold the ball.
16:29
You waste generational talent like Jaden Daniels, a Heisman
16:32
Trophy winner, because you can't put together a defense with even
16:36
the slightest pulse, the slightest pulse, you know.
16:42
But by or you know one of your biggest mistakes you ever made
16:48
because he bullied you spent he been at Texas AM for two years
16:52
and he bullied our player players he's coached bullied our
16:56
players 2 years was letting Tommy Moffett go and whoever is
17:00
the next head coach at LSU, the first thing you need to do is go
17:03
dump a bunch of money at Tommy Moffett's feet and tell him I'm
17:07
sorry my predecessor was a bull headed dickhead that didn't know
17:11
Jack shit. Please come back and be our
17:13
strength coach again. You know there's no fire.
17:17
They had no defense, they had no fire.
17:20
They were essentially OK with losing.
17:22
You know, our defense relies. In 23 season at least our
17:26
defense solely relied. It looked like they didn't have
17:30
to play well because Jaden Daniels was going to win US that
17:33
game. You know, look, I can handle the
17:37
loss to Ole Miss. Much as I hate to say it, I can
17:41
take the first loss to Vandy since 1990.
17:46
I wasn't even born the last time we lost to Vandy.
17:49
I can take that, you know, and I hate losing to that cold over
17:54
there at College Station, but I can handle losing the to them
17:59
when they've got a better team. What I can't handle and with no
18:04
LSU fan can't handle and with Brian Kelly put out on the field
18:09
year in and year out at LSU since the first game he coached
18:12
here was a better word. He raised a bunch of pussies.
18:15
They were soft. They got out physical to almost
18:19
every game. Every game we've lost is because
18:21
in even games we won, they were out there getting out physical,
18:24
out physical. You were LSU, you were not to be
18:29
out physical. All those defensive players that
18:32
came before you in the past, you know, Patrick Peterson, Tyron
18:38
Matthew, Devon White, who else? Delpit Stingley said.
18:42
The honey Badger. But then you've got running
18:45
backs like Leonard Fournette, Clyde Edwardsy, Lehrer, Justin
18:49
Vincent, Spencer Ware, and who else was it there?
18:53
Get Darius guys, some Hilliard Hill, a whole bunch of running
18:59
backs, a bunch of dudes who ran over everybody.
19:03
I remember being in college and going watch Leonard Fournette.
19:06
He ran over everybody, everybody.
19:08
There was a reason that he was going for the Heisman Trophy
19:10
even though we had a dog shit team because he put the team on
19:15
his back. And one of the biggest things
19:17
that pissed me off in the Les Miles era was when Les Miles
19:21
could have let him break the record, rushing record or
19:24
touchdown, rushing touchdown record or whatever.
19:26
He whatever record he was going for and he had him down and he
19:29
said, no, I'm a pull you. Let's take a step back.
19:33
Let's not do this, you know, but whatever the point is my point
19:38
in Jacob Hester to Jacob Hester was a beast.
19:41
But what my point is, we never had a run game under Brian Kelly
19:46
because I don't think we had a strength coach we didn't have.
19:49
We had that Yankee strength coach he brought up from the
19:51
North that was OK in those Northern conferences, but can't
19:55
get the job done in this hard nosed Southeastern Conference,
19:59
you know? But what did it for me was
20:02
getting out physical for all those games you watch him and
20:06
every loss, 14, finally he had 14 losses and 14 losses, I
20:10
guarantee you, and 34 wins, I guarantee you.
20:12
And at least what's that 48 games he coached?
20:15
I guarantee you at least 45 of those.
20:19
He got out physical. Our team got out physical.
20:22
Our team got bullied. Our offensive line couldn't
20:24
block a soul. You know, you can't go on and do
20:27
all of this stuff, these negative things.
20:29
It never build on it and get positive.
20:32
During de Boer we were all laughing when they lost to
20:34
Florida State this year. We laughed last year when they
20:36
lost got their butt kicked by Oklahoma and had though and got
20:42
beat by Vandy just for us to turn around this year and get
20:44
beat by Vandy. You know, we do these things and
20:49
we laugh at these things, but it Brian Kelly took that as a
20:52
challenge. Brian Kelly said let me go and
20:54
tarnish the name of this great university.
20:56
See how bad we can bad of a product I can put out on the
21:00
field year day in and day out brag about how much they spent
21:04
$20 million. They should have spent that $20
21:07
million and put it towards that motherfuckers buy out.
21:09
You know, because all those players, all he did was on the
21:12
sidelines. He sits there and be right sat
21:15
there and not sits there anymore.
21:16
Thank God. Best day of my life was Sunday,
21:21
October 26th, when I sat there and refreshed Twitter for five
21:24
hours waiting to hear news of either Joe Sloan or Brian Kelly
21:27
getting fired. And when I heard it was the big
21:30
dog in charge, Bryant, not even the big dog, more like the
21:33
little kitten in charge in Brian Kelly in that he was getting
21:38
fired. I jumped up.
21:40
I stayed up until midnight that night.
21:42
I was so excited. You know, that's the point we've
21:46
come to. You know, when Edo got fired, it
21:49
was kind of bitter sweet. He was doing a terrible job, but
21:52
at least he was likable. You know, you got a dude like
21:55
Brian Kelly comes in. There's not a likable quality on
21:58
that man's in that man. He is just a turd in the punch
22:02
bowl. He's a prick.
22:04
Whatever you want to say, that's what he is.
22:06
He is horrible. And the best thing for LSU
22:10
happened. It might have cost us 50
22:11
million, $54,000,000. And I hate that we got to pay a
22:15
buyout because Scott Woodard is Scott Woodard is responsible for
22:19
it. Two of the biggest buyouts in
22:22
college football history. And I should say something.
22:24
And LSU needs to rein that. Do in.
22:27
You know, if you hot you keep him, good on you.
22:31
If you fire him, good on you. But you need to rein him in.
22:34
Don't let him make these outlandish contracts.
22:37
Nobody can afford it. Enough about Brian Kelly and
22:40
enough about how bad he is and how bad of a terrible person he
22:43
is and this and that. He's old news.
22:46
He's gone. Good riddance.
22:47
I hope the Baton Rouge businesses don't do business
22:50
with him. I hope they get rid of him and
22:51
he leaves as soon as they want. Actually, I take that back.
22:55
Baton Rouge businesses, you can do business with him.
22:57
Get some of that $50 million back, but good riddance.
23:00
Bye. Don't let the door hit you.
23:02
Get out of my state, leave. Nobody liked you from the get
23:06
go. You made me look like a fool
23:07
because I took up for you with your fake southern accent.
23:10
Get out. Stop dancing on little boys when
23:12
you do your recruit and stuff. That's disgusting.
23:15
That never flew here no matter what.
23:18
Did people told you we made you look like you look like a
23:21
Jackass. When you did that, you were
23:24
laughing stock and good riddance.
23:27
Let's move on to the future. I think they made the right
23:30
call. Megan.
23:31
Frank Wilson, the interim head coach.
23:34
I don't think, I don't see his beating Fandy, beating Vandy.
23:38
I mean, I don't see his beating Alabama.
23:40
You know, I think it'll be more of a competitive game now and we
23:43
might make it a maybe a three-point game because I feel
23:46
like Frank Wilson can go in there, bring the team together.
23:49
First of all, there's so much stuff that Brian Kelly did and I
23:52
think what we need to do is spend this week healing as a
23:57
team, coming together as a team in healing.
24:01
You know, there's a lot of football left to be played.
24:03
There's four games, 5 if you win because you're going to beat
24:08
Western Kentucky, even with that lint Dick bastard Brian Kelly,
24:13
we'd have still won. We'd have still beat Western
24:16
Kentucky. I don't know if we'd have beat
24:19
Bama, Arkansas or Oklahoma, but we'd have still beat Western
24:24
Kentucky and been bowl eligible. So you've essentially got five
24:27
games left on your schedule. You know you can go.
24:31
You can have a 10 loan season. You can salvage this season, as
24:34
embarrassing as this season has been, not only for the players
24:38
but the fans. We have other things to look
24:41
forward to now. Like I was going to sell my
24:42
tickets for the Arkansas game. I might actually go and see what
24:47
Frank Wilson's all in this team is all about now with they
24:50
didn't have Brian Kelly holding him back.
24:51
You know, you got rid of the cancer, you got rid of Brian
24:54
Kelly, you got rid of the symptoms like Joe Sloan.
24:59
And I think somebody told me they finally got rid of Brad
25:01
Davis as offensive line coach. I don't know if that's true or
25:04
not. Offensive line has been horrible
25:06
for four years. I know we had good NFL caliber
25:10
talent, but that's not because of Brad, Brad Davis.
25:16
That's because they went to good high schools and they had good
25:18
high school coaches and taught them fundamentals.
25:20
But where do we go from here? Who knows, But I like to think
25:26
we can be at least competitive against Bama, maybe lose a game,
25:31
you know, maybe lose the game, but they'll know we were there.
25:36
Hopefully Weeks can get healthy because I think his presence on
25:39
the defense, his leadership surely shines, you know.
25:42
And what else for coaches moving forward?
25:46
I really don't know. I've heard a lot of names going
25:49
around. Some I like, some I don't.
25:53
I do like the idea of throwing however much money at saving
25:57
that you need to. Not even as an offer to come
25:59
coach because I think he's very happy with his retirement and
26:02
not stressing over the NIL and this and that.
26:06
But to help you look for a coach who fits what he built here.
26:10
Because made no mistake, it might have been Les Miles teams
26:15
lately, but he took a lot of that.
26:17
And that culture was built in the early 2000s under Nick
26:20
Saban. And what he did when he came
26:21
here. Then when he left and we got Les
26:24
Miles, you know, Les Miles, under Sabin's guidance or
26:30
whatever he had with his players, won the first national
26:33
championship that he had. And then he followed that
26:37
system, it looked like until he went in 2011 to the end, brought
26:42
us to the championship game to lose to Nick Saban.
26:44
You know, there's a lot to be said for that.
26:46
They followed the thing. Ed Osheroff followed LS US
26:51
guideline. He you know, it was his state.
26:56
He knew what LSU football was all about it growing up as a
26:58
fan, he knew this, He knew that he made it.
27:03
You know, I don't know what else to say really, except Brian
27:06
Kelly. You just dismantled the program.
27:08
But we need to find something. I saw a TikTok today of Cam
27:14
Newton talking about LSU and SEC in general, top tier SEC coaches
27:20
in general. And he said, look, these
27:23
coaches, they nowadays, they're not looking for you in the top
27:26
tier. You don't, We don't need a
27:28
mediocre coach. You know, if you want this job,
27:31
you don't be mediocre. You come in and you take this
27:34
job. You know, the only name on the
27:37
list that I didn't like as the coach.
27:39
I saw Joe Brady. I think it's a good one.
27:42
I don't think he comes here. Lane Kiffin, I think there's a
27:45
chance he can come here. John Summerall, I think he could
27:48
come here and be a good fit. I mean, we looked up his record
27:53
today before Tulane. Let's see, let's see, OK, at his
27:58
overall coaching record is I don't see how this is possible
28:02
because the numbers don't add up.
28:03
But he is 38 and 10 overall at Troy.
28:07
He was 2111. That is saying something for
28:13
Troy because you play upper competition all those times.
28:16
I think he even used the one coach that beat LSU that year.
28:19
Maybe now because it says he coached at Troy in 2022 to 2023.
28:25
Either way, that's good. His current present record at
28:29
Tulane right now is 16 and one. We got to look that up because
28:35
that's don't match the numbers that I looked at earlier today.
28:38
Yeah, these don't match the numbers that I looked.
28:40
Easy enough. Let's go to Tulane and see what
28:42
they're. Sorry, I'm looking down a lot,
28:44
but I will get there. Maybe I won't get there.
28:46
Tulane is 6 and one this year. They're probably the best team
28:51
in Louisiana at current moment. I don't know if we beat him.
28:55
He's fits with most. He fits with a lot of people
28:58
would call. He's 43 years old.
29:00
He's a younger guy. I think a lot of people would be
29:03
like, OK, you're 43, you can connect with these younger guys.
29:07
That's what we need. We need somebody to connect to
29:09
recruits. We need somebody who can bring
29:10
them in. You know, on the other hand, you
29:13
have a guy like Elaine Kiffin, which I really think would be a
29:16
good fit here, bring him in. And I think if you bring him in
29:19
under the right circumstances, I think he would come.
29:23
I really do. It's hard to pass up ALSU job
29:26
where you're the only, you know, you're the state's flagship
29:29
university. You can get recruits, you can
29:31
get this, you can get that. Like I said, I don't know much
29:35
about coaching searches. I don't pretend to know much
29:38
about coaching searches. I can just tell you who what I
29:41
hear and what I look at. I do really think that you do
29:47
take a bunch of money and you do throw it at saving and you ask
29:50
him to head this coaching search.
29:52
You get somebody else to write this contract for this coach.
29:55
But the Scott Water does not to be need to be anywhere near
30:00
contract writing offering these coaches these big buyouts,
30:03
number one. And two, Jimbo Fisher in Brian
30:06
Kelly, the two biggest clowns in college football.
30:09
And they're offering them. They had a $71,000,000 buyout
30:13
and a $54 million buyout to be top #1 and #2 you know, but
30:18
that's about all I'll say for this.
30:21
Good riddance, Brian Kelly. I'm glad I don't have to speak
30:24
your name ever again as far as LSU is concerned.
30:28
Joe Sloan, I hope that when you went in to pack your bags from
30:32
LSU, that wouldn't let you in the team's facility offices.
30:37
I hope your key card should work and I hope they burn all your
30:40
stuff as bad as you've been all season.
30:42
I don't even think your biggest claim to fame, I think is when
30:46
they said that you were the quarterbacks coach for Jaden
30:48
Daniels. But I don't even think you were
30:49
the good quarterbacks coach for Jaden Daniels.
30:51
I think Jaden Daniels outsource this quarterback work because
30:56
honestly, I don't think Nuss went to any other coaches.
31:01
I can't say that for sure, but you've taken that poor kid and
31:05
ruined his NFL chances, or try to at least.
31:10
At least people in the country see that he's a good
31:12
quarterback. You almost demolished his poor
31:14
stuff. And Brian Kelly, we never like
31:17
you here. I'm glad you're gone.
31:19
Joe Sloan, whoever thought you could be an offensive
31:22
coordinator. Oh, it was Brian Kelly.
31:23
Never mind. Now I'm just ranting to fill up
31:27
time anyway, please like and subscribe, share the video,
