In his first seven seasons at ND kelly only had TWO double digit win seasons.......There was lots of 8-5 one 12 win and one 4 win.....he made so many mistakes,,,,blew so many games with game planning and managing,,,,was very unsure about what QB to play.....made quite a few just terrible hires for assistants,,,, It is true that the last 5 years he FINALLY righted the ship...finally made some good DC hires....and had those 5 double digit win seasons,,,, So LSU fans have to worry....will they get the Brian kelly that had things rolling nicely at ND the last few years.....or will they get the BK that messed up over and over in the first seven years,,,,,dissapointed over and over.....i have not forgotten the nervous breakdowns we had on this board again and again in BKs first seven years, Personally if i was an LSU fan i would be worried they have five years of issues with BK ...many self inflicted,,,,,in store for them as kelly works through this switch.....and who knows if LSU will be as patient as ND was,,,,,remember kelly has NOT been great even with Good teams in Big games....6 and 7 in bowl games....and many in season losses we didnt expect. Is the LAST 5 years who kelly has become.... a guy who hires good assistants....doesnt call plays or game manage much...is more the CEO....we will see....IMHO the jury is still out aloha

This is a great match up...Ok State has been getting tons of respect all year....I dont think we have ever played them so its interesting on that note....Its also a game i believe we can win.....a win would make this 12-1 season a real springboard into next year....likely a final ranking of two or three with a win.....where is the Fiesta bowl??---is that florida or arizona? looking forward to see howt he team reacts with MF as the new coach...and how we prepare and game plan on both sides....going to be fun....I REALLY LIKE OUR CHANCES! aloha

georgia has the best defense of all time eh......against georgia southern maybe......Young winning the heisman here....damn alabama is our nemisis even if we dont play them aloha

These teams are " a little better" then OSu and Baylor aloha

Impressive drive by georgia....they can run and pass....i really like our chances here... aloha

Im used to being DRAINED by ND games.... but this was a new experience ,,,,now we just need georgia to be as good as everyone says

he didnt make it!!

maybe baylor should just punt now...its safer lol aloha

This is the worst played game ive seen all year aloha

can you believe this....baylor is just awful

These teams look horrible,,,,,this is a circus type game...an ugly circus..neither team looks good aloha

i agree as well....in fact this is less risky IMO. An outside coach would have to hire a new staff...would have some stress holding on to the recruting momentum for the next two years.... Apparently one of the big negative pitches made to our recruits by other recruiters was........Dont get too close to Freeman hes gonna be a head coach in the next year or two you cant have confidence in that relationship he will be gone soon..... There is just lots of excitment about this hire,,,,Kelly leaving after a very successful year has ironically elevated the program and caused a positive vibe that frankly i cannot recall happening at any program that loses its successful coach....just cant think of one,,,, kind of funny aloha

Kelly wanted to demolish this program on his way out.....leave us on the verge of the playoffs....leave us for the only SEC program youve been able to beat.... his first call was not to swarbuck to inform him,,,,first calls were to Rees and Freeman to get them to come with him,,,, he trashes us now in the press, our limitations of not being in a conference,,, BK handled this like an ass! We need a Brian kelly sucks thread.....ive had my problems with kelly early,,,he handled some things poorly in the early years,,,,but i grew to respect his growth as a coach.... kelly never engendered love personally....and we can all see why..beyond coaching BK is a bit of an ASS! Love the coaches staying,,,,love the hire of marcus.....dont expect decommits....kelly sucks aloha

To qoute myself from yesterday,,,,, (This is a no brainer,,,,,hire Marcus Freeman tomorrow!).......I gave five reasons....i wont repeat them....color me PLEASED AS PUNCH..... aloha

There are so many reasons to give this job to Marcus it should be a no brainer. Lets review. Its what so many want,,,,from players and recruits to alumni and fans. It would do so much for recruiting.....not just salvaging most of this class but for future recruiting...and as we all know recruiting is MORE then half of winning. He allows for a fast choice....and again as we all painfully know draw this out and you end up with a bad outcome. From the university standpoint he will be cheaper then most other names will be and god knows we are cheap. So that should make the meisers happy. Its all a bit of a shock but a quick move to give us continuity and a huge upside that off sets a minor risk given the other choices. its also worth noting kelly wants him at LSU it would be nice to stop that. So many reasons and i could add a few more......IMHO this is a no brainer,,,,dont over think this jack JUST DO IT....TOMORROW would be fine. aloha
