Admit it. You want BK to fail at LSU.

[savvyandsassier]

I could have stated it more clearly that I wish ND would have moved on sooner.

It’s probably hind sight now as I supported BK prior but if you really look at his tenure and take emotions out of it he did not have many accomplishments outside of beating the teams he should.

So I didn't misunderstand you. You just did it again.

ND NEVER MOVED ON FROM HIM.

I don't know if you think you're being clever, or if you just can't help yourself. It's probably both. I would say it's more how you simply like hearing the words, even if its false gibberish out of your own mouth, that ND fired BK....

 

[Okie70]

What Irish fan wouldn't? Just like OK fans wanting TBOW (Riley) to fail at USC. Good coach but could have done better. Looks like Kelly stepped into it first.

 

[BGI User 1596]

As long as the administration doesn’t let him send kids up in scissor lifts during hurricanes he should do fine!

Easy Francis. BK left ND. ND did not leave BK.

Good, that's better....

 

[Airzee23]

Just admit it!

I was just rooting for them to take it to OT

looks like it might go to OT. Good game tonight. Both made big mistakes that balanced out.

Did purple face go down again?

 

[ftnfan62]

Nope.

 

[TheSodFather]

Classic Brian Polian unit at the end there

He was gutless and played for a tie when he shoulda gone for two and the WIN!

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

To be fair. There were multiple times at ND, Kelly went for 2 and it worked against him.

 

[kev2225]

I'm a believer in going for the win. Got the momentum. Players want to go for it. Just do it.

A few things…. Freeman didn’t have team fighting to win until end like Kelly did

no way Rees has offense prepared to do what Daniel’s and Kelly did with a minute left

Kelly always misses something to lose like this… reminded me of at msu or usf

im not saying Kelly is Better overall, there’s just things he’s clearly better at than our current coaching staff, worse at as well

BK better than current coaching staff at: experience, game management, play calling, player development, executing/administrating an entire program

BK worse at: recruiting

The main thing is he wasn't playing OSU, otherwise it's a 48-10 beat down based on history.

nah this osu team was similar to
Georgia teams we played due to their injuries

No argument there.

Yeah we really fought til the end against Miami in 17. Michigan in 19. Clemson in 20

Like I said, moron

No way is he better at game management and play calling. We'll see about the other stuff.

His game management is abysmal. Never knows how to use his timeouts, when to go for 2. Whe. To punt or go for it on 4th. It's bad

 

[whitetop]

The way Kelly left ND " Fu-k him" , but I actually loss money betting on LSU tonight.

 

[savvyandsassier]

I think that's a good result for LSU. Keep them hungry. They're not going to win shit this season anyway. But they fought back, even after playing pretty lousy, especially that true prima donna named Kashon Boutte...

And I think they'll be more fired up, and motivated, losing in this dramatic comeback fashion, than they would even winning in OT.

 

[savvyandsassier]

Oh, and thankfully BK did not listen to dumbass Greg McElroy when he advised LSU to allow FSU to score....

 

[bizzybecknd]

BK won't have to work that hard on the recruiting trail since that entire state is loaded with elite talent who all dream of playing for the LSU Tigers. That program recruits itself.

I think he competes for national titles in 2-3 years, because outside of being an average recruiter (which is a BIG Achilles' heel), he's elite in pretty much every other facet of head coaching/running a program.

It's a great match for BK and LSU.

Hahaha

Failed to mention the factors.. neutral site/home state game for LSU, #2 ranked team in the nation vs unranked/garbage, Jayden Daniels 4th year playing college football vs Buchner 1st start. Those details matter

 

[NDgreatestofalltime!]

Not me, I’ve never liked LSU, ever. I’ve rooted for Bama to beat them every single year that I can remember.

I really try not to wish/hope/pray for others to fail. I think that is a f’d up and miserable way to live.

There are fighters, and teams I don’t like whatsoever and I root against them but I try not to fall into that well of outright hate.

I did that with OSU football for 20 years and the only thing that happened was they got better and pissed me off more. 😂

I came to the realization that they’re (OSU) not an academic institution and never will be, they’re a football factory and the rest doesn’t mean shit to them.

As the wise OSU QB Cardale Jones once said “Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS.”

 

[tbonesays]

Just admit it!

No but I will chuckle if it happens.

Also on a semi related note: BK just does not look right in Purple & Gold

I think BK can turn the right royal shade if he really puts his mind to it

 

[d1042]

BK had fans at ND until the ‘burnt Ends’. Then all was revealed.

 

[HDK]

You are correct. It was the student trainer who was having a relationship with Daniels

Dunbar was the tutor

I thought Dunbar was a booster who was having affairs with players and maybe helping them scalp tickets.

In the vacated wins case, my memory is it was a female manager/trainer who was dating one of the players (Daniels?) and she wrote papers for several of them. They were caught and kicked out of school for a year.

ND reported it to the NCAA, which investigated it to determine whether or not the manager/trainer should be considered a university representative, which would make it a violation of NCAA rules.

After a very lengthy investigation, the NCAA announced that going forward, such cases would NOT (edited) be considered a violation because the manager/trainer was just another student, not a tutor or other academic representative of the university.

ND breathed a sigh of relief, and then the NCAA, in its ultimate wisdom, announced that ND would be sanctioned for a violation.

Meanwhile, North Carolina, which steered black athletes to no-show classes and committed other acts of academic fraud as a university, was not punished because the fraudulent activity was not just limited to scholarship athletes, but available to the entire student body.

The NCAA is a complete and utter joke.

 

[HDK]

I have to note the irony about the "purple face" comments. When that photoshopped photo of Kelly blowing a rod went viral in 2011 after the disastrous loss to S. Florida, most fans on this site were incredibly defensive, saying it was about time ND had a hard as nails coach who was going to impose discipline.

Some people thought it showed a guy who was completely out of control and was exhibiting anger issues, but they were largely shouted down.

Now that he's gone, our fans can insult him for a temper tantrum that occurred more than a decade ago even after he obviously learned to address his behavior.

 

[NDinNJ]

I am curious. Who would you have hired in 2016?

Marc Dantonio? Justin Fuente? Tom Herman? PJ Fleck?

Who?

This is by far the most overused and dumbest question in response to a post I've read.
If the stated goal of the program is to win championships, and the person you have in charge has shown the inability to do this, then yes it's time to move on.

 

[BaldyNd]

100%. Felt weird rooting so hard for FSU last night

 

[Bodizephax]

Good, that's better....

Kellys Purple face perfectly matches LSU'S COLORS. He will fit in perfect there.

 

[d1042]

BK is ‘spent’. LSU is not getting what they think they are paying for! In truth they might be better off! This won’t last long.

As you said the NCAA has been worthless for a long time; hypocrisy and double standards everywhere

Kelly is garbage. He told the media it was hard to win at ND because of the talent (throwing all his players under the bus) and then he proceeds to lose to the same team ND beat with the team he says is far more talented.

He blew up on the sidelines and turned purple yelling at his LSU players last night. He will end up getting belted in the face if he yells at the wrong player. Remember this is LSU where the players arent as smart and behaved as ND players.

they will take him into the woodshed and, well this is a family forum!

Kelly and LSU is a terrible fit. He will never sniff a title down there
