This dude is a massive a hole. Questions about his offense are legitimate. Yes, lsu won but only because lagway gave them the victory.
How can he be in the sec for 4 years and not expect scrutiny.

Just not smart as a coach. Attack the media for asking real questions and the media will unload on you when you struggle. He's not Saban and he will struggle.

Yeah,questions about his offense are a legit question. Averaging about 18 points a games a game won't get it done in the SEC. Lagway throwing 5 of the most unnecessary passes for picks bailed LSU out for sure. Im just waiting for him to be on Finebaum this week all chipper and happy as usual. *shakes head*

Now that I think about it more, I don't know if I've ever seen the HC of a top 5 team on shakier ground than Kelly. His first question after a win is about how bad the offense it, and then to make matters worse he snaps at the reporter who asked it.

If they end up missing the CFP, I really do think they might bite the bullet and buy him out.

I talk to McRib and her brother about it a lot. Kelly has SO MUCH money still due on his contract. I am not sure they can or will. They are willing to tolerate a lot of jackassery as long as wins materialize. That fan base kept Les Miles as HC running a 1970s offense for a long time.

We will see.

Coaches this season who look like they are ready to take a bigger job. I have:
Golesh
GT coach
Clark Lea.

LSU has a ton of money (not Texas or Texas A&M money, but significant) and I bet would at least strongly consider it if he doesn't make it. They did keep Les around, but he also had won a title and played for another. I know the drop off was pretty dramatic for O, but they cut him loose just a year and a half after winning a title plus he was basically the living embodiment of their fanbase.

The thing with Kelly is that I just get the distinct impression that he's never been embraced there by their people. Even if he won a title, their fans would obviously love it but I don't think they'd love him. He's such a weird cultural fit there; he's originally from Boston and had exclusively coached for northern schools, I don't think they respect what he did at ND (even though they should), he has a contrived, "corporate" demeanor, and just generally comes off like an a-hole. I think because of all of that he has a higher bar to get over to be considered successful by their people than O or Les did.

If they miss the CFP, then that would mean that they're dropping 2 (if they had a really bad loss) or 3 games. When you move it from the abstract to specific losses it sounds worse...if they lost to, say, Ole Miss, A&M, and Alabama or OU and missed the CFP, they'll absolutely be enraged enough to start talking about gathering up the money for the buyout. Or if they lost to a good team and then also Vandy or Arkansas.

There is a lot I agree with in your post. The notion of tolerance of the HC as long as they are winning is dead on. They don't like the man. And they will cut him loose quickly when they think he is under performing. But the money isn't infinite in BR.

I'm looking at Nussmeier, not Kelly. Kelly has had good O consistently. His problem was always been discipline and that sort of thing.

Nussmeier has a cannon, but he's running the same O as Jayden Daniels, and one of them was a Heisman, and the other guy has put up 30 points 2x in the last 11 games. Nussmeier is supposed to be the #1 prospect. I don't see it.
