I'll start the 2022 thread with a response to a comment on the (prematurely) closed 2021 thread:

Quote

Both of which we have to deal with at the high school level because they see it in the NCAA - where there has been a consciousdecision not to enforce those rules. For the life of me, I don’t know why.

Because in college you have adults playing, not children like in high school.  Let them make the conscious choice of whether or not they want to take the risk of losing a few of their teeth.

Had to know it was coming.  

Some interesting storylines entering next fall.

1.  Can anyone outside of the SEC (plus OSU/Clemson) break through and win a national championship?

2.  Does Cincinnati once again carry the torch for the group of 5 or does someone else emerge?

3.  Playoff expansion?  Where are we?  Does Cincinnati's (and Michigan's for that matter) end it for the group of 5's chances?

4.  Kelly at LSU, Riley at USC, Venables at USC, Freeman at ND are the four most intriguing coaching hires to me.  How do they fare in year 1?

5.  NIL/the transfer portal.  So much to discuss in this ever evolving ordeal.

 

A trio of publications have released their way too early top 25 rankings.  Many familiar faces.

I can’t wait to see Riley and Venables fight for HC power at USC. 😉

Brian Kelly is getting a LOT of bad advice. The fake Southern accent was pretty comical to watch, but this? This is just painful

 

Does anyone think he would be doing this sort of thing if he were still at Notre Dame?

Kelly is a dead man walking.  Kids will see his true colors.  Dude is a phony.

And a complete a**hat to boot.

Now answer the question, WHY he wouldn't or hadn't done that clown routine at ND?  Anyone?

I will chime in…Notre Dame has integrity and principles to their recruiting philosophy…LSU doesn’t.

I sleep well at night with the belief that young adults that walk around on Notre Dame’s campus are still student-athletes no matter how true that may be.  I don’t have the same belief surrounding LSU (or most other universities for that matter).

How’d I do?

Well, one story we already know is that Notre Dame's President, Father John Jenkins.....not the AD mind you, sat Kelly down at one point, maybe in his 2nd season? and told him the short temper and constant yelling thing is not a good representation of the University. It was kind of an or else.....moment for Kelly.

Yes Sir!  One example why I think he’s an a**hat.

One of plenty.  But it’s sort of funny to watch the same ND fanbase that defended him so adamantly for so long suddenly turn on him so quickly.

To our defense, he didn't start acting like a clown until he was hired by LSU.

He's still a great coach. A phony to a degree? Sure. But he'll win at LSU. I don't agree with your "dead man walking" prediction. I hope you're right though after abandoning two different teams before the final game of the season.

LOL @ this.

The “snow shoveling” story that went viral when this LSU story broke says otherwise…

Sticking with the under of 3.5 years on this fraud.

So many fan bases are unrealistic and laughable.

He acted like a clown at all his stops.  The twitter video w the LSU recruit is just another example of it.

I think you're still blaming him for that kids death. But that's just me. 

He won at Grand Valley State, Cincinnati, and Notre Dame. He'll win at LSU like it or not. I'll take the over on your 3.5. You keep the receipt though.

Fan IS short for fanatic ya know?

But yes, you are correct.  “Kelly was a squeaky clean, high character individual…until he got on a plane to Baton Rouge.”  LOL.

Look up the shoveling story and get back to me.

Its who he’s always been.
