Fighting Kelly’s of LSU

[HDK]

This feels very familiar to how I coped with every big game loss from 2010-2021.

In most of our big losses, we looked like lawn statues. Our offense did nothing, our defense did nothing.

Kelly has LSU playing tonight. They are outclassed but they are still plugging away here in the fourth quarter, albeit against the 2nd team defense.

True, 20 point loss would have felt pretty good.

Apparently they have two good QBs. Nussmeier's been lighting it up.

Much better QB room than the one he recruited and ran away from.

It will be interesting to see if he "coaches up" his QBs like he did at ND, where after one full season they were so afraid of making a mistake that they couldn't function.

Brian Kelly is in way over his head

butt?

 

[ftnfan62]

It was 23-50 when a garbage score happened. It’s typical BK.

He was down 35-10 at half. Just like Clemson. Just like Bama. Just like OSU.

Thank god we moved on.

Never was a big fan of Kelly, but said for years he was not as bad as his detractors said and not as good as his defenders said.

But his team put up 550 yards against the Georgia defense with the second string QB playing the second half. That is about the same yardage we gained in the three playoff games he coached us in. So just maybe there was something to his "shopping down a different aisle comment."

And they were never really in the game
Tell me the difference between this big game and every big game at Notre Dame
easy answer- NONE

You're a total toxic BK hater, if I recall correct. And it appears you've decided you want to slyly backpedal out that stance, I guess because it just doesn't suit you anymore. Too crass, too tacky. You were hoping desperately he would do badly at LSU, but that's definitely not how it's playing out, so now it's time for you to wrap it up.....

Here's the thing, though. You don't need to give us any opinions, that are really no more than backhanded compliments at the very best. Nobody anywhere gives the tiniest shit about your thoughts on BK, other than maybe other toxic haters like yourself, whether they're still active and splashing around in their own bile and spite, or are gently trying to wind it down like you seem to be doing. The best thing you could do is just never say anything else about him ever. Nary a word from here on out forever on the subject of BK as far as you're concerned. Mum is the word!

Bottom line, he's doing great at LSU and has hit the ground running, no big surprise. And he was an awesome coach for ND. That's really all there is to say about the guy....

I'm sorry that you spent so much time typing that drivel, but as usual, you are wrong. You could better spend your time trying to prove your point by poring through past posts but you would still be wrong.

Did I ever criticize Kelly? Absolutely. Did I ever shoot from the hip? Sure. Do I think the guy can be a prick? Yup. But no, I wasn't a toxic BK hater, no matter what you may think.

About 300 yards in offense.

 

[NDblitz]

So he doesn't deserve it then

Not saying he should win it. He never even gets considered. I’m actually a big Maye fan.

Like I said, mum is the word my good man, mum is the word.....

Ain't no reason for you to try to explain yourself now. Just STFU. I'm pretty sure you don't have it in you to ever do that, and you'll keep yapping. At least in a slightly more modulated tone.....

Most fair fans are happy we moved on from Kelly but concerned we may have gotten a worse staff….

We clearly have coaches putting in the work recruiting, but to win a championship you need recruiting and good coaching

I dont see how anyone could say it's a worse staff when....

Heistand > Quinn
Mason > Polian
Stuckey > Del

Lets say McCullough and Taylor are even. Parker and our former TE coach is about even

I'll say Elston > Washington right now

This team was a Jack Coan away from being a 10 to 12 win team with a tougher schedule. That was the difference in records, QB and schedule

Thats what most fair fans would say

Yeah not a big fan of STFU. Surprised that’s not monitored. Some people get brass balls miles away locked in their house.

Oh, would I do well to? That doesn't make any sense. But you did cash in a fifty cent word with 'overwrought'....

And to think, if you weren't such hater trash like you are, I probably never would have said anything to begin with, all this time. Think about that for a second. Right? I only harangue you because you won't ever STFU, and you keep talking shit about ND's all-time winning coach right up until the earth crashes into the sun. And this way you don't get any credit. For your phony faux-gracious act.

Follow my own advice. As if.....

Kelly better than freeman at this point and his last two DCs were significantly better than freeman, golden slightly better than freeman at DC but not as good as Elko or Clark. Rees without Kelly was not good.

I agree with improvements at some position coaches but HC and coordinators left a lot to be desired and they’re the most important.

 

[savvyandsassier]

I don't think so, dude. You've just gotten very comfortable treating BK as your own personal effin' doormat. And the thing of it is is that you don't need professional help. That's just everyday life for you. It doesn't even bother you. In fact you'd probably need professional help if you couldn't behave that way. And decent people like me just have to deal with your bullshit, and accept it as normal.

If you could only appreciate how truly toxic guys like you really are.....

Think about it, think about what I said. I'm your damn shrink is what it comes down to. But you guys will never change. Like I said, until the earth crashes into the sun. That's your lot in life. At least you're trying to scale it back a little, whatever your self-serving motivations...

Anyway, we're done here....

Rees is the same as last year so that's a wash. You can't use Elko and Lea

What are you going to use Kellys whole coaching career and say this isnt as good as Kellys 12 years.

Thats ridiculous. You have to compare 1 year to a specific year. How come you didnt mention BVG if your going to use both Elko and Lea

Because you know this staff is as good or better than last years. So you went to Elko who hasnt been here in 5 years and Lea

It can be better and I hope it will but you don’t go 11-1 and then 8-4 with losses to marshal and a very bad Stanford team without coaching issues

Washington has a lot to prove same with rees and even golden

The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. So you can accuse me of being a "toxic BK hater" all you want, but you will never be right.

There were coaching issues last year. The schedule was just easier, we had a qb and a few more top line guys (Hamilton Austin Kyren)

We couldnt block anyone last year. We played 1 ranked team and they spanked us

The coaching is as good or better than last year. Need a QB

Again, that barely makes any sense at all. But okay then, fine. Prove it by never mentioning his name again...

Another big game flop

How is that a bug game flop ?

Georgia was a 17.5 favorite !

 

[burmafrd1943]

About 300 yards in offense.

and that means WHAT when the score does not indicate how one sided the game actually was?
BK apologists as I said never quit; he once again came up small in the big time

No doubt. I'm just pointing out that his team actually continued to play and was able to move the ball -- with a second string QB, no less. His ND teams were typically pretty much completely shut down in those big games.

And my suggestion that it would have been a closer game if his FG team had been properly coached to prevent the return and had Georgia not benefited from a freak bounce on an interception is not much different from those who argue that if Pyne had not turned the ball over twice and if ND had gotten the first quarter first down we could have beaten USC.

 

[ftnfan62]

I saw really little difference in BK-ND and BK-LSU.

The game was completely over at half when he failed to control clock after UGU made it 28 and gave them the ball back with under 2 min to walk down the field again and put it to 35.

He lost by more points there than any ND loss. I don’t remember the most, maybe Bama at 42.

We can sugar coat it, but MF played a much tougher schedule with no QB and the largest margin was 11 and we where in both to the end.

This was classic BK. Just like we saw for 10 years.

 

[Irish_Mutt]

I caught part of the post game press conference. According to BK, LSU was only 5 or 6 plays away from winning that game. I'll give him credit for placing the responsibility on the coaches for the blocked FG fiasco though.

BK is unquestionably a good football coach; he is also a deplorable human being

LSU had a tougher schedule than nd this year, it wasn’t even close.

Kelly knew lsu needed a transfer, freeman and Rees screwed up and didn’t get a transfer.

They weren’t little plays, they were huge.

LSU did have like 550 total yards.

Georgia was clearly the better team though
