A lot of fans did call him a prick or worse. How soon we forget.
Kelly is crashing n burning
- Thread starter theskibro
- Start date
Name the ones on this board that called him a prick while he was coaching Notre Dame
Because when he left he validated what we all suspected when he was our coach - he is a weasel who left in the middle of the night whining about the lack of a training table n good facilities. He’s a self centered prick who can’t motivate anyone because he’s fake n kids know it
Kelly's value is primarily for entertainment. As has been said ad nauseum....he's well paid for it. If its too painful to read, go watch a movie.
Speaking Cajun & twerking and getting blasted in Big Games is worth the price of admission.
When you sign with ND, your a 3 star. When you flip to an SEC team, your a 5 star......the margin between a top 20 and number 1 class is proven time and time again to be irrelevant. We have numerous 3 stars that play, are in the Senior bowl and considered the best in the country. If we have learned anything, its this coaching staff goes after a "type" and not a star. Their CB's have two traits, Long and fast....they teach the position. Watch Moore on the pick from Gray. That dude is clear across the field and meets him at the 10. Look at our RB's and LB. KVA is a 5 star if he signs with Bama, its just fact. Duece Knight was a 4 star, until he signed with Auburn and now is a 5.
As long as MF is between 1 and 15, with the auto downgrade for ND, that's a top 5 class.
I will NEVER forget the cajun accent thing.
The things grown ups do. As if he was fooling anybody. I got such a laugh confirming it for myself.
WTF are you babbling about? Now ND has totally elite talent? Forget the notion that stars don't matter or are overrated and what matters is development, and proper selectivity and shrewd scouting, and some sort of holistic thing where the sum is greater than the parts or something like that and that's what really matters. You're saying that the rankings are just bunk. ND's three star commits and just plain flat better than LSU's four and five stars. They're superior prospects right now. On a neutral field so to speak. It's ND who has the #1 class in the country right now today, not LSU or Bama or any other SEC team presumably. And LSU would rather have this current ND '25 class than their own, because it's just straight up better.
Alright then, cool!
I certainly agree that the way he left was despicable
But no one was calling him a prick when he was coaching at Notre Dame
Let’s not forget he did very well at Cincinnati and that he resurrected Notre Dame’s football program, those are undeniable facts
Jesus Christ are you ****ing nuts! Why don’t you wake up. Pay attention to what is going on.
Did you just wake up from another drunken stupor ?
Get off the floor, have another drink and go back to sleep.
They are undeniable facts, and I don’t recall specific names he was called here; but there were a lot of disgruntled fans after he flirted with the NFL before our championship game against Alabama, and again for putting his friendship with Van Gorder above the team, and for his press conferences after a loss where he was perceived to throw the players under the bus. I suspect prick was used here to describe Kelly multiple times.
You just changed your handle slightly but are the same old dope. Off to ignore with you.
I was one of those disgruntled fans when I learned that he was flirting with the Eagles before the game with Alabama.
That soured me on him ……… significantly
I was further soured by his treatment of Manti Teo
I’m no fan of his, but he’s gone !
So you ask who was saying these things as if it didn’t happen, but then acknowledge that you yourself did? WTF are you looking for here? You’re being weird.
PLENTY of people weren’t fans of his throughout his ND campaign. I surely don’t remember the board being in cohesion regarding Brian Kelly. Hell, I don’t think we’d all agree that the sky is blue or that water is wet, let alone be all in on our perception of him.
Words to live by. FYI, world leaders should consult TelX Always money. Always my wing man. He should be his own website like Google. “Ask TelX.”
Those asshats on X should consult TelX.com before typing their nonsense.
Thats all I got

I, theskibro, posted many times about Kelly being a paper tiger, a joke and a prick
In the world of defining a person’s character and being a quality human being, It does not matter that Kelly won games and righted the ship. That’s nice. But, He is a shallow purple faced fool when it comes to human relations
A politician
Heck, hitler won progress for Germany for several years. And most German's saluted him. He was not a good person. Understatement.
And he crashed n burned
I think Kelly is embarrassed n desperate that he has failed at LSU and claiming he will be in natty next year is a foolish ploy that sets him up for a hot seat and gives LSU admin an excuse to get rid of him if he has an underperforming year

There’s a difference between being critical of him and his coaching style and calling him a prick while he was coachingat Notre Dame.
There’s a difference between being disgruntled and calling him a prick
So I’ll ask you like I asked the others name the posters who called him a prick while he was coaching Notre Dame.
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe that you called him a prick when he was coaching at Notre Dame
Why don’t you try and retrieve that post for us
Pat, it’s me, one of your favs. And you doubt me? Hoitz bad.
I’ve got better things to do then find n resurrect my post
TelX can vouch for me. So can Golson n many others. I categorized Kelly as - in fact - a “small prick” as early as 2016.
I also did a post based on factual feedback from some ND player parents who said Kelly was a prick
Why the disbelief? Condoms are one size fit all. So it’s not like you need to know
This was written about the longest tenured head coach in the history of Notre Dame Foofball.
Outlasted Ara, outlasted Lou, everyone. Yet, described as a “…prick and a joke.”
Yes, it’s not an indictment of his record, it’s an assessment of his character. Length of time, wins, etc do not influence character
I can understand passionate criticism, but calling the sitting Notre Dame head coach a prick, contemporaneously, seems extreme.
I don’t recall anyone’s criticism rising to that level, but if you say so …
The day/week after either the Miami or Michigan beat downs would be good starting points.
Actually 15 and counting! And you know, he makes $10M annually too!
I'm saying the diff between the #20 class and the #1 class is based on fractions of a % of an athlete that is judged by who sees them, who they sign with and what recruiting service gets paid. Look, i get it, many on here feel your BK's mom. I don't know if that's true, nor do I care. But saying LSU ended up with a better class is based on services that over rate SEC and under rate ND....continually.
ND had two top 25 pre-season, FSU was a bust. USC bad record, but in every game to the last 4 minutes and beating LSU thats probably a top 25 team with a brutal schedule. I think PSU would agree. Louisville is a good team as we saw them paste KY (SEC). Army I guess we will see. But yes, we needed both USC and FSU to do better.
TX won the B12 championship once in the last 15 years and their first year in the SEC are #1 and favored. So maybe the SEC is brutal, maybe this year its Meh...
The new system will tell us, i hope they expand it to 16 teams, drop the autos, move to a tru selection like the NCAA. Make conferences play more of each other in round 1....so we get less in-breeding.
Ask ND to pick up a 13th game.
I remember people calling him that and much worse than that as well. Not that surprising
That's a ridiculous question. You think ai can remember people's names on a message board and what year that they said it. Just ridiculous
Anybody see Kelly's comments regarding NIL and recruiting? He's implying LSU needs to step up its NIL efforts, while schools like ND and OSU have a strong donor base. Surprised to hear that, since many on this board say ND doesn't compete NIL wise for recruits.
I’m pretty sure he downplayed NIL earlier in the year too, specifically regarding defensive line IIRC.
You were the one who recollected the conversations
Now all of a sudden, you don’t recall anything
Before he abandoned Notre Dame, I don’t recall anyone calling him a prick while he was coaching at Notre Dame
I pulled it up in another thread. So I guess you were wrong or forgot and that ends that debate
More Kelly excuses. He went to lsu for nil and better facilities n easier recruiting. Now lsu needs to do more. Joke
