Well I don’t remember you being on this board back around 2016 -2020. Does not mean you were not posting but I do not recall your handle, big large typeface, calling out posters, etc. So I’m just saying, prick was one of the nicer things said about Kelly. Just because I don’t recall you or you recall Kelly being called out does not mean our memories are infallible
Brian Kelly just signed an outstanding 2025 recruiting class. The recruiting is indeed easier.
I would agree and the effort required is less also. But Kelly will find an excuse around recruiting, as he already has in saying that LSU needs to do much more nil. It’s always something. It’s never that he sux n kids see thru him
What’s he supposed to say? Nothing?
Either say it's a great class or take ownership for the failure if he thinks it is. Don't blame NIL. That's pretty much what people want from him at LSU and here previously
You're sick, man. You got the sickness! You gotta seek salvation somehow. You gotta rid yourself of it. I would say "Seek Help!", but I'm not sure there is help for you. You have to find it within yourself....
You can assess I am sick. I would say you are spineless. I don’t accept bad leadership. You don’t recognize it, or you just accept it. You think Kelly’s fake Cajun accent, dancing with players, and abdicating responsibility are normal. I don’t You can overlook Kelly leaving ND like a thief under cover of darkness as acceptable. I can’t.
He signed a better one in 2023. Still hasn’t helped him lose less than 4 games annually
He should twerk and say in a Cajun accent his arse is on fire from the spicy food before slicing one off into the swamp!
He's not a prick, as far as CFB coaches go, who oftentimes are rather unappealing by normal everyday standards, he's quite genial, and pleasant and anything else you'd want out of a person in civilized society. He's just not a prick at all. It's false to say such a thing. Objectively false. You are merely disturbed. And it's up to observers to make sense of this amorphous, inexhaustible, seemingly unexplainable loathing for him. Which could not be based on any typical merit or lack thereof, like being a bad coach, or being a 'scumbag' as you guys often denigrate him as. Or being some sort of naturally repellent personality. And as he was already wildly, insanely hated by at least a decent chunk of the fans years before he let, and it reached a peak, and the sickness eventually spread to the entire ND football community, right as his time was reaching its zenith, and he somewhat belatedly had brought ND back to the mountaintop, as a perennial playoff contender. And when he left for the SEC, all hell broke loose, and it was like a wild mob rampaging through the streets, or in the case the internet.
He’s like a certain politician who went to an nyc urban radio station She went on to proclaim she carries hot sauce in her Hermes pocketbook. 😣😣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.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion as am I. I believe that's the whole idea here.
I think its fair to say that many posters like myself maintained some guarded verbiage while the prick was here due to mods, rules, etc. It isn't because my opinion of him changed. There's plenty to criticize, but I won't go where I am tempted to. He's now the problem of LSU's accounting department.
He is to many, just not you. Why is that hard for you to accept ? He has never come across as a likeable human being. Why in such a defense mode ? I believe he's universally considered a good, successful coach by folks in the know. I don't believe he's personally well liked by those same folks. That's my experience in conversations.
Kelly was very adamant about why he took the LSU job...bragging about all the resources and commitment to the program that LSU provided....basically that it was light years ahead of ND...and how, now, finally, he can compete for titles. Now, this week...he's whining and belly aching about how LSU needs more NIL money to be able to compete for championships. He's taking heat for decommits, and he's blaming it on the NIL donors. The problem is either the school (ND) or the donors (LSU)....it's never Kelly himself.
He's not a prick, and that is not a legitimate 'opinion'. He is reviled and hated by ND fans to a degree that is totally pathological. Just without any question. To the point if you were a Harvard sociologist or psychologist you could do a case study on it. And how did this happen, and what could have possibly led to this state of affairs? He does not behave in a way personally, or perform professionally that would naturally engender such open contempt and loathing, and with such intensity. Even the media, certainly the ND beat media, and even the national CFB media to a lesser extent, have become caught up in it. And either mock and denigrate him themselves, or at least tread cautiously on anything BK related, lest they run afoul of the mob. And they embrace the false, hate-fueled narratives that have become attached to BK, which eventually become de facto received wisdom. And this is a first-ballot CFB HOF coach, and ND's all-time winning coach being treated this way.
Are you on his payroll ? Your water carrying here seems quite personal. A lot of people in his business don't care for him personally. End of story. I'm guessing currently a lot of LSU fans don't either.
I agree 100%. I was wrong on BK. I thought by going to LSU, he would compete for a Natty. Can’t blame the academics or facilities on the school.
I think I've made my position very clear, pretty much ad nauseam. I liked BK a lot, I was very fond of him. But that's irrelevant, I only speak out like I do because this has turned into an outright social contagion. Now I know that's beyond your pay grade to really comprehend or deal with something like that. That the normal testosterone fueled, thuggish, meat headed CFB fan existence has mutated into something bigger and uglier than that, but that's what's happened here. Your anecdotal insistence that everybody who deals with BK hates or dislikes him is bullshit. And it's ND, precious holier than thou ND that has generated and dumped all this bile into the culture.
No, you didn’t, you merely stated that you seemed to recall that someone said it, but you couldn’t provide any concrete evidence
It's not even that he thinks you can remember a post from five years ago — it's that he demands that you remember it.
I pulled up 4 old threads and put your name on there of when Kelly was called a prick. I made it very easy for you so there wouldn't be any confusion. And you still can't admit it 🤣
I substantiated it. That's what is so funny. 4 old threads right on the front page here for ya
I can't say with absolute certainty that I called Kelly a prick while he was the head coach at ND. I can say that I think I did....and more importantly, that I hope I did. Does that help?
I soured on Kelly when he was flirting with the Eagles and Notre Dame was going to play Alabama for the national championship
I don’t give a hoot what he recalled. There were plenty of posters who hated Kelly when he was at ND, and I recall such since I argued with many of them.
Who said everybody ? If you think he's a congenial, well liked individual amongst his peers so be it. I believe you're in the minority. I'm in the college football business as a NIL consultant. I talk to lots of folks. He is much more respected for his coaching abilities than he is for his personality.
Read where he was really lamenting the state of college football, where players change schools just for more money via better NIL deals, etc…. It was pretty ironic in context of how and why he left ND.
If you’re a Notre Dame fan and especially if you’re in Notre Dame graduate, there’s an enormous difference between disliking and hating Kelly and calling the active coach at Notre Dame a “prick”.
Maybe some people are just loose with their words.
