MichiganCardinal Posted October 27 Posted October 27 LSU firing Kelly is funny on several counts. 1 Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted October 27 Posted October 27 **** Brian Kelly, he killed a kid and suffered no consequences. LSU is delusional and thinks they should win a national championship every year. Kids in 2025 want the money. If your best offer to Underwood was 5x less than Michigan’s, it’s a donor problem not a coach problem. That donor problem will not be solved by paying Kelly $52MM for him to not coach your team. **** Brian Kelly, have I mentioned that one yet? Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted October 27 Posted October 27 I don’t blame Sarkisian for seeking NFL offers. Even if it’s a fake report from his agent meant to renegotiate his contract and up his buyout. The NFL is so much easier than the NCAA right now. You’re managing a locker room of men, but at least you’re not managing the emotions and knee-jerk reactions of unrealistic and borderline delusional university systems. At least the majority of the NFL understands how hard it is to win games in a competitive league. NFL teams don’t fire coaches midseason because they’ve lost three games to the #7, #9, and #3 teams in that league. Quote

Not sure where they turn but this is a giant pile of wasted money. Side note, he’d be a great fit at MSU. Quote

Chemical plants and garages rented to store MardiGras floats for NoLa. Being totally over fixated on LSU football not hard to figure. The college version of GreenBay. 🏈👑 Quote

They’re not that far removed from a disastrous HC. Brian Kelly isn’t very “safe” as an institutional pick. It feels like he is always one snowball away from an avalanche. I think James Franklin would be perfect at MSU. 1 Quote

There were many Irish fans glad to see him go. He put very little personal effort into recruiting while at ND, rarely meeting with recruits. I’m sure he thought he could continue that and win at LSU.

And the reason I have not is likely the same reason it will take more than $1.5MM to recruit the #1 high school player. 1 Quote

In the pre-NIL days, it was at places like LSU where it was both easier and more necessary to use money under the table. With everyone having money out in the open now, those are the places that will be hurt. Edited October 27 by gehringer_2 2 Quote

RedTeamGo! Posted October 27 Posted October 27 This coaching carousel is absolutely shifaced. If Texas enters it will have jumped the shark. This offseason is going to be fascinating. Imagine if Oklahoma loses out and fires Venebles. Do they go after Moore? I mean, here is a hypothetical. Sark goes NFL, Oklahoma fires Venebles and throws a bag at Moore. You would have Texas, Michigan, LSU, Penn State, Florida open. Has this ever happened before? If that happens I think you see Texas, LSU, or Florida throw $20 mil at Cignetti and dare him to say no. Who knows, maybe they throw $20 mil at Ryan Day. I mean, let's be honest, he could get $20 mil to coach at Florida and not have to worry about playing Michigan. Then if you have Ohio State have a HC opening, hoooo boy. Quote
buddha Posted October 27 Posted October 27 oklahoma can have him if theyre going to throw that kind of money around. i very much doubt oklahoma would do that, but stranger things have happened. Quote
RedTeamGo! Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Right, however my point is there are so many openings and it could get even crazier. Quote
Deleterious Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 I would guess Mike Norvell still has a decent shot at being fired. Quote

I'm sure there are some donors only interested sports, but there are a lot of donors that might have endowed a 100 scholarships or built a chem lab if they have gotten the same pitch from a different development official. 1 Quote
