What if the LSU finishes 6-6, the LSU football community completely implodes, they fire BK, and then hire MF. And MF takes the job, and is gone. For the same nominal reasons. It's just too hard to win a championship at ND. MF's recruiting is probably worse than BK's, at least as far as the rankings. Meaning, he's probably finding very good program fits, and the truth is he's recruiting beautifully for ND, but he just has to shop in a different aisle. That whole paradigm.

And so he's off to the SEC! That would be classic. Maybe we could promote Al Golden in that case. That might not be a bad consolation prize.

The cajuns aren't going to put up with BK with 3-4 losses every year. He has one more year left. Another mediocre season and they will fire his ass. Couldn't happen to a bigger D-bag.

Yeah, SO FIRE HIM. Because we're at that point. He's going to get the money no matter what happens so just do it now. If what you're saying is true and they're just going to lose at least three games every season anyway then simply fire him now. FIRE HIM NOW. FIRE HIM NOW.

FIRE HIM NOW. You beginning to get it? There's no reason to wait. You're prolonging the inevitable. You're not saving any money. FIRE HIM NOW. What happens to LSU at that point, I don't know, they hire some new coach. LSU is a destination job, they'll get a good one. He'll an inherit a full roster full of, if not super elite, very much upper tier legit SEC talent. Young talent from the '23 class on up. And then just get on with your life. But LSU fans are worse now than ND fans when it comes to apoplectic BK hating, which they picked up from you. Only difference being they're actually in the throes of a losing streak. Psychos like you were getting your torches and pitchforks ready while we were in the midst of qualifying for the 4 team playoff.

If they have to pay multiple buyouts both to Coach O., and BK, that's just LSU's lot in life, because they don't tolerate losers. That'd be classic if they hired MF, and he took Denbrock and Golden with him.

You don't agree that Mitchell, Collins, or Harrison would be putting up bigger numbers with a pure thrower like Carr or Angeli at QB?

futuredomer said:

I never said I wanted Angeli to start, I'm just pointing out a QB that can't pass when needed in 2025 is not winning ND a NC! The NC QB CJ Carr hopefully will be starting next year. The bottom line is RL is not first round talent and will not be able to make that 3rd & 10 against OSU, Oregon, Texas, Alabama or Georgia w/ the game on the line in a semifinal game hypothetically that he can even get us there. That's it, that's all, he's just not a good enough QB, period! The idiots that keep denying this again make up about 1% and make all other ND fans look like idiots.

My apologies. You didn’t want Angeli starting at any point this year?

Some would argue with you that the St Clair kid is. Can't go wrong with Underwood or St Clair.

FightingIrish44 said:

Do you think that ND would be 10-0 right now if Freeman had just started Angeli like you wanted, and that anyone who knows anything would agree with you?

Click to expand...

They probably could be, and maybe would be. Assuming we beat A&M with Angeli, we probably would have beaten NIU, just because we would have, because almost any improvement in that game offensively would have resulted in a win. That's how close the game was, and how shitty NIU is. Maybe Louisville would have beaten us, that's possible too.

So RL is definitely the starting QB and no complaints or regrets. Personally, I'm fired up about him after a sluggish start. But yeah, we could be 10-0 with Angeli, very easily, very likely. What we could have done, should have done, is bench RL in the NIU game, and let Angeli pull out the win. With a presumed better passing game. The exact same way A&M beat LSU. And then just put RL back into the starting lineup. As a coach you're allowed to do that. So that would've been cool.

The only time I can remember that Kelly had to step in is against Florida state opener 2021 I believe. Coan was qb.
Freeman kept running a 3-3-5 and let Florida state Back in the game and he seemed to intervene.

Ha, it’s 100% factual

For anyone with a brain, you could see how Kelly had our defense change part way through 2021, then golden made significant changes in the off season leading into 2022

Freeman even admitted how shocked he was at how bad the D scheme was vs Florida state

At this point, Michigan would be smart to offer Kelly a 5 yr $10m per contract, and Kelly would be smart to take it. I just think Kelly would be more successful and personally happier in the Big 10 vs. LSU and the SEC. His arrogance and politician in waiting way of expressing himself are not playing well at LSU; and despite my dislike for him personally and disdain for the way he left ND, I think he would be a good match for the football program, the Michigan fan base and administration. I think LSU would waive any financial cost for Kelly to take a job elsewhere.

Like them or not.....Michigan has championship aspirations. Kelly failed to deliver at Notre Dame....and its rinse and repeat at LSU. Michigan wouldn't want Brian Kelly because they already had their "all time winningest coach who never won a title".....Schembechler.

I don't consider the A&M defense elite yet. Very good yes but not elite. Maybe in a year or 2 they will be. What I was really trying to say is that I believe we have better QBs sitting on the bench so more NIL money won't solve coaching choices of who to play and who not to play. RL got NIL money and we lost to NIU with less talent so giving more NIL money isn't always the solution. Maybe with a few key players it is but not across the board. In other words the team that pays out the most NIL isn't guaranteed a championship. Too many other factors.

We don't have better QBs sitting on the bench. Definitely not this year. Our top QBs on the bench are freshman and a sophomore and this isn't an easy offense to just pick up. And we need RLs legs with our OL situation.

That's the part you are missing

Umm, that’s factually true. Stated by Kelly that he had to help change freeman’s structure he developed for 9 months for the team because it was moronic. He didn’t say the moronic part but I will. Frichan foskey dropping in pass coverage half his reps. Golden had to come in and slowly re coach all our current players from what ever freeman was trying to do and completely change the scheme.

I appreciate freeman not having too much of an ego and allowing golden to completely change the defensive scheme.

What is the F+ of those NFL teams that need a new HC?

He is successful, right out of central casting and doesn’t treat players like trash.

He will be hard to keep as well as most of his staff in 2 years.

Brian Kelly tends to have seasons where he's all in or all out (thinking of some of the up and down seasons during the first half or so of his ND career).

LSU literally has nothing to play for at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if they've collectively mailed it in and LSU has one of those seasons where the bottom just kind of falls out from under it only to return next year refreshed and better than ever.

Mailing it in? OK.....10 mil is some expensive postage......
