I liked his attitude in the press conference , 1st thing is most fans didn’t keep perspective , this is the season most should have expected considering , new starting QB , a new OC , a new DC , whole new defense line and just a young defense void of experience , new wide receivers, new running backs ,
yes, their record all things considered is still pretty good for being in the sec, its better than a lot of teams. it pretty much reflects where they are as a team. a big issue they have right now though is replacing their o line for next year. they really need to get some good portal players to help them out.
I gave us 2 losses maybe 3. But yeah I’m excited to see what happens next yr. I wasn’t expecting much but knowing that we had a shot at a&m,The gators , even usc just stings a lil but we know what to do now. Which holes to fix
I think the most surprising thing was us not having a run game majority of the season. It got better at the end, but man we lost some important games cause we couldn’t run
Matt you are the best thing that has happened to Lsu. I have been going to the games for 46 years. There is nothing better than being at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night!! Keep it up, you are a awesome analyzer!!
We needed BK's proclamation about his confidence in the future of this team. He laid out in plain speak as to why we should be excited for the future. Coach O had the same confidence. BK is putting his chips in and projecting that his "hand" is a winner. Good for him. He basically "earned" back that Florida loss with this type of talk.
BK is pissed about the results of this season. I think he's about to go ham on preparation this off-season. I like the attitude. Now, let's execute it.
Very fair assessment and probably BK's most informative interview to date. I can see a NC contention in 2025-2026. If everyone would have played the whole season the way they played the last two games they would be in the conversation this year. Which is a good sign going in to next season. If they actually go aggressive in the portal and close/flip some great players before signing day the immediate future will be bright. I think aside from the records of Vanderbilt and Oklahoma people forget both these teams dominated Alabama and got dominated by LSU. Im excited to see what they do this off-season.
Yea but people are going to hold that against him. I don't care if it takes until year 10 to win a Natty. You see the potential, when it all gets put together it will be a site to behold.
@@kaleb1858 No he didn't don't fall for it. We need to see it, I'm not predicting Natty next year when we can't even win a season opener. BK wants to win more than anyone, he's building.
@ anyone with a brain new he meant next year! Why tf would he say it then?? He told us he was gonna be real active in the portal!! Don’t start “I don’t think he meant next year crap”
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
@tomneff7030 If you think BK is the worst coach among Les Miles and Coach O, then we'll have to agree to disagree. Because if they can each win a title here, then BK can win multiple. If you're not an LSU fan, I thank you for the good luck. If you are, simply look at our offensive stats. Nussmeier, in his first year as a starter, is doing better than Burrow in his first year as a starter (and Jayden Daniels in his first year as a starter at ASU.) Our defense will be elite again, I believe we have the right personnel. Our future looks bright. Even if it doesn't end up working out (I think it will) ... I have great respect for a man who is the winningest coach at ND, wanting to challenge himself by coming to the SEC (when Nick Saban was still running the show). He's trying to build a legacy for himself, and he picked the perfect school that'll get him there.
I agree as well. Much better coach than O and Miles. 10 wins and won the sec west the first year after our roster was completely gutted from O (that should have been a disaster season). 10 wins and a heisman in year 2. Yea this year was a disappointment but everyone has them. We did have a lot of freshman playing on defense and Nuss kind of lost it for a stretch. That’s my worry, I love him getting the chance and I see his numbers but I’m not sold on Nuss. Reminds me of Milroe. When he’s off he’s WAY off.
@tremoore9831 I never said that I thought Miles and Ogeron were better coaches. I don't believe that.But because of that...I have high expectations especially since Nick Saban is gone.That loss to THAT version of Alabama at home was shameful. My new motto is; No Saban No excuses!
I’ll start w I’m a BK believer - but would you agree that his path to a final 4 appearance was much easier at ND even though they don’t have the resources of lsu?
Brian Kelly left Notre Dame with a pretty full cupboard? Correct me if I’m wrong but Kelly left ND at the end of 2021 so he recruited guys for the 2022 season. They would have been Freshman in 2022, Sophomores in 2023 and Juniors in 2024. Correct me if I’m wrong but any player younger than a Junior would not be a Kelly recruit. I looked at the USC box depth for Notre Dame and obviously Kelly had nothing to do with the QB Riley Leonard. Freeman also has CJ Carr coming who is supposed to maybe be the QB of the future there. Who knows. Jeramiyah Love, who’s a stud RB is a Sophomore. Their receiving room is average at best but both Jaden Greathouse and Jordan Faison are WR1’s and are decent. Kelly recruited two stud tight ends in Mitchell Evans and Eli Raridon. They’ve had to deal with tons of injuries throughout the season so some of this isn’t what might wanted to do but they’ve been forced to. They pretty much had to shuffled their entire offensive line for example. LT is a Freshman. LG is a Sophomore. It shows Sean Sevillano and Bryce Young as DE2’s, but I think they play a lot and are very good and they’re both Freshman. Drayk Bowen is their MLB and is a Sophomore. Jaiden Ausberry is a Sophomore and either plays WLB2 behind Jack Kiser who’s awesome. Kelly did well there or ROV2 behind Jaylen Sneed. Leonard Moore is a Freshman Cornerback who really stepped up when Benjamin Morrison, who may been the best player on the team went down for the season. Christian Gray is the other cornerback and he’s a Sophomore. Xavier Watts is the better of the two, but Adon Schuler is quite a good safety and he’s a Sophomore. Their kicking game sucks ass and honestly might cost Notre Dame a chance to make any kind of run in the playoffs. Their kicker is injured and he has time to heal but even still it’s bad. After writing all that I hope I’m right, but my point was that Freeman was playing a lot of his own players this year.
BK left ND with a “pretty full cupboard”, with gave Freeman a good base to recruit on. Matt said nothing about Freeman’s recruiting, only that BK helped him out by leaving a good team in place. Which is entirely the opposite of what BK inherited at LSU.
Or maybe we will have a Nuss that will build on this past season. He had good numbers just costly turnovers. But, will build and come back balling with fewer mistakes and with a healthy Wr core next season and an aggressive defense that has to build up the secondary.
He should be coaching next year like his seat is getting hot because realistically after this entire disappointing season what do you think we feel as a fan base
ESPN's Kyle Bonagura has our Tigers going to the Gator Bowl on Jan., 2nd. to face Duke! That sounds like a good bowl opportunity for the Bayou Bengals!
He said the same thing at ND after they got beat by Alabama in the 2020 CFP. He said and I’m paraphrasing “we’re going to keep on knocking at the door, and when we finally breakthrough I’m going to be awful” Meaning he was going to say, I told you so, you know nothing about football to the media. When his seat gets hot and he feels under appreciated he gets defensive and arrogant. Kelly has 4 speeds, confident, angry, defensive and arrogant.
Yeah, that's probaby true, he probably shouldn't say shite like that. I love BK, and wish him all the best, but that's just not the kind of talk you want to put down on the record. It's just coachspeak, all of it, every press conference, that's all it is. None of it ever means anything. I don't know if you can ever say the right thing, you can only say the wrong thing. Every thing you ever say is just potential fodder to drag you down with. Whether it's the media or the fans or whoever. Football is just bread and circuses, for the mob to devour. I mean it's awesome, but that's what it is. And so you gotta navigate that appropriately. That's one of the things I always liked about him. He's willing to tell the world to go F off. Hasn't hurt him yet. He just keeps moving up the ladder. And he knows there isn't any rung higher than the SEC. So it's championship or bust. Sounds okay to me...
Did he not get to the championship and playoffs multiple times at ND? With inferior talent? Optimism can help you out. Other on set this program back 4-5 years. Patience!
We love our 11-1 "glass celling " in South Bend in contrast of the 8-4 paper ceiling in LSU Kelly didn't leave the roster in no shape or form the way Freeman has the program thats facts...same old Kelly next year or the year after
I think the players only meeting made a big difference. Seems like they worked some crap out, maybe some good leaders stepped up and some toxic ppl got called out.
Let BK Cook. He is our Guy and the coach we definitely need. We will be the Playoffs and National Title Games again, just relax. Brian Kelly knows what he is doing, trust in him GEAUX TIGERS #LSU 🐅
It’s too bad SEC teams have to play against the best teams, unlike the Ohios, Michigans, Oregons etc. None of those teams would rule the SEC OR EVEN STAND OUT.
He left ND because the clock was running out. There’s a reason ND’s roster is devoid of seniors, it’s because Kelly never recruited. Instead of going out to see high schoolers he spent his time at the country club. He’s the ultimate politician, he makes promises, but he’s never willing to put out the extra effort. Kelly will do just enough to give you a taste of success and promise it’s always a year away.
I don’t think Stewart or Pickett was ever coming these are kids remember that I hope I’m wrong and they both come even if they do both are high transfer alert players cause they both seem to love to be out there having fun ect I get it.
Coach Kelly now knows his O & D programs are on the same page with head coach. We will show our dominance to whoever we play in the Bowl game we play this season ! Go Tigers !
You can't "call your shot" at a national championship then spit out excuses about young players in case it don't happen in the same press conference. But Brian Kelly is who he is, and he is what he is. Here's my suggestion to him. Stop running your mouth. Rebuild the offensive line so Nuss has a clean pocket to throw from, and Caden Durham has holes to run through next year. Go in the portal and get some defensive linemen than can cause havoc, find a "Honey Badger" for the secondary, clean up the errors in special teams and you might have a shot at a national championship.
Brian kelly thought he found the ceiling at Notre dame, but he was the ceiling. It’s hard to win it all at Notre dame in the modern era-not at all impossible. Notre dame is in a better place personnel wise than when BK left. You guys complain about his recruiting work at LSU-yes that’s BK. That’s part of why he came to LSU. It recruits itself and ND doesnt Full transparency: I’m an ND fan
After Alabama beat ND in 2012 BK literally said that he saw Bama up close and we are way closer than the score indicated. Fools gold. He always gives excuses about young players. Notre Dame is way closer this year than any team that BK had. BK teams *always* have glaring weaknesses.
Talk is cheap at the end of the abysmal season. Please bookmark/save/re-play this quote on 8/30/2025. Of course the standard is getting a natty. But see you in the championship after 8-4? Regardless of whatever he says, LSU can't fire him due to an insane buyout so I guess we are gonna take this ride with him. But do NOT extend his contract until he accomplishes the “standard” of winning a natty. I say again, NO EXTENSION until then
THIS IS LAUGHABLE that Brian Kelley took it upon himself to make this bold statement. It reminds me of a desperate man trying to buy himself some time and not get fired. NOTE: BK HAS MADE similar predictions for the season openers against Florida State and USC! HE SAID QUOTE "We are going to beat the heck out of them, then got his arse handed to him. Sadly, BK HAS UNNECESSARILY put a HUGE TARGET on LSU'S BACK and the road to the championship will be much more difficult as our OPPONENTS WILL EMPTY THE TANK TRYING TO BEAT US. He predicted also that we'd be playing for a nat'l championship in year 3. My prediction is HE will be gone in 12 months.
He made no such prediction of winning a Natty in year 3. He said year 3 at all his other stops is when his teams have been the most successful, most bought into his process. That's also in the East/Midwest, he's learning how to operate and win in the SEC. You're a fool if you think he'll be fired in 12 months. He's currently 28-11 in 3 years. Considering what he inherited that's pretty good.
@Familyman617 We all have our opinions and his salary alone isn't living up to the hype. If we fail to make the playoffs in year 4, it's my opinion he'll be gone. I hope he proves me wrong. But I'm getting tired of his excuses. "We're not finishing games" he says. LOL ! We'll, BK this is your team and your coaches and your "process" and we're failing miserably at 8-4. The head coach needs to spend more time with his players and coordinators making sure we are creative in our play calling and can stop a running QB on defense. Simple things a great coach can do. I don't dislike BK. I just think playing in the SEC is much tougher than he thought
@Familyman617 I remember it well. He told a sports reporter he expected to be playing for a championship by year 3 that's why I came to LSU. Also, He told the Death Valley Voice to judge him by year 3 and now it's judgment time. Article on November 16th '24
@@Retiredjournalist88Did Les Miles or Ed O take over a program in the height of the transfer portal first why LSU had only 36 scholarship players on the roster like Brian Kelly. Realistically year 4 or 5 is when you should see LSU loaded on both sides of the ball and a national contender which is 2025 and 2026.
@DRIVINGPARKCBYA There are some who want to see BK stay, but in this next 4th year if we're 8-4 or 9-3 and don't make playoffs, I just don't see how he stays. IMO
Yep! See you in the national championship! Nuss will take us there with big interceptions and fumbles in the big moments! Way to squander Colin. Great stewardship!
Paid him too much money so he gonna do what he wants to. Coach O is way better coach,he had to rebuild. Dis jackrabbit had 3 years n all he done was hurt LSU recruiting.lost QB to Michigan
Lincoln Riley's Trojans finished 6-6, Brian Kelly's Tigers finished 8-4, Marcus Freeman's Irish finished 11-1 and are in the playoffs. Those are the receipts.
No 💩 no one is happy about 8-4 but that’s what happened. Next year I don’t see us being any better…what 9-3 again?? At best?? All ima say is they better make the playoffs next year or his job will definitely be on the hot seat.
So what he if goes 9-3? That's on par with most regular seasons. With it being substantially harder to win. Yall are still treating coaching in this Era of ball like its the 2000s. You fire Kelly, it's almost a guarantee the entire staff is gone... then what happens. All the talent you've amassed over his 1st 3 years are all in the portal. You have to pay out 70-80 mil and pay double that to bring in a new staff. Then we are starting all over again. Some of yall don't think about that.
@ you wanna talk about don’t think lol you don’t know wtf you talking about. 9-3 is unacceptable at what he’s making. It’s not the standard at LSU. If he doesn’t make the playoffs next year watch how many fans will be calling for his job. Year 4 next year…he has to get it right. Period
@@KaminJohnthey are literally about to let a 9-3 team from the SEC in the playoffs. The SEC is harder than every other conference. We would be saying this about other coaches that would have took over LSU because he was literally left a dumpster fire. Did y'all forget about Ed O last two years?
@ the 9-3 teams or teams that are getting in the playoffs got lucky. Certain teams have to win/lose for that to happen. Aint nothing guaranteed if you go 9-3..:what im saying is it isn’t acceptable here…eventually you will get let go if you continue becoming 9-3 every year.
Are we not talking about year 3 under Brian Kelly? We talking about incoming freshmen and building next year? What have we been doing for 3 years then? I get our offensive play calling sucks and Nuss played like a first year starter at times but he’s had 3 years to build freshman. He’s got a bullshit answer for everything
My daughter went from shitting in a diaper and laying on the floor like a rock to walking, talking and crapping in the potty in 3 years. You telling me we can’t recruit and build up players in a 3 year span when most college careers are only 3 years anyway?
FYI. Even if your honored men like burrow, chase, Jefferson came back, do any of you really think they would choose Brian Kelly. Keep whistling past the graveyard.
Desperate? His job is as safe as anyone else in the country. He's got two more years wo needing to worry. That team played for their coach so your narrative is off quite a bit
I liked his attitude in the press conference , 1st thing is most fans didn’t keep perspective , this is the season most should have expected considering , new starting QB , a new OC , a new DC , whole new defense line and just a young defense void of experience , new wide receivers, new running backs ,
I feel good about next year assuming Nuss is back.
On top of losing the (perceived) 2 best defensive players at the beginning of the season!!
yes, their record all things considered is still pretty good for being in the sec, its better than a lot of teams. it pretty much reflects where they are as a team.
a big issue they have right now though is replacing their o line for next year. they really need to get some good portal players to help them out.

I don’t think Stewart or Pickett was ever coming these are kids remember that I hope I’m wrong and they both come even if they do both are high transfer alert players cause they both seem to love to be out there having fun ect I get it.
Because he can afford great spectator seats at all future NC games.
Coach Kelly now knows his O & D programs are on the same page with head coach. We will show our dominance to whoever we play in the Bowl game we play this season ! Go Tigers !
You can't "call your shot" at a national championship then spit out excuses about young players in case it don't happen in the same press conference. But Brian Kelly is who he is, and he is what he is. Here's my suggestion to him. Stop running your mouth. Rebuild the offensive line so Nuss has a clean pocket to throw from, and Caden Durham has holes to run through next year. Go in the portal and get some defensive linemen than can cause havoc, find a "Honey Badger" for the secondary, clean up the errors in special teams and you might have a shot at a national championship.
He has tickets to this years national championship
He had to catch himself bc he knew he messed up. Stop saving him he needs to deliver bc his words haven’t
Brian kelly thought he found the ceiling at Notre dame, but he was the ceiling. It’s hard to win it all at Notre dame in the modern era-not at all impossible.
Notre dame is in a better place personnel wise than when BK left.
You guys complain about his recruiting work at LSU-yes that’s BK. That’s part of why he came to LSU. It recruits itself and ND doesnt
Full transparency: I’m an ND fan
That’s because Bryce Underwood is still in play just not talked about but,we will see.
What the hell
After Alabama beat ND in 2012 BK literally said that he saw Bama up close and we are way closer than the score indicated. Fools gold. He always gives excuses about young players.
Notre Dame is way closer this year than any team that BK had. BK teams *always* have glaring weaknesses.
Do u see Nick Saban saying we’ll see at the national championship in the future hahaha we’ve become a laughing stock
Kelly is tripping...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe he's got the motivation necessary 🤔
Stop taking this out of context people. He didn’t say it would happen next year.
BK is our guy, he inherited a mess.
If Brian Kelly couldn't win a national championship with a Heisman winning QB, he's never winning a national championship 🤣🤣🤣
💯💯, he will do enough to show improvement but not enough to win it all, just like he always does 😂
Hes got 1 more year. If we're not an SEC championship game and the playoffs next year he's Fn gone
Talk is cheap at the end of the abysmal season. Please bookmark/save/re-play this quote on 8/30/2025. Of course the standard is getting a natty. But see you in the championship after 8-4? Regardless of whatever he says, LSU can't fire him due to an insane buyout so I guess we are gonna take this ride with him. But do NOT extend his contract until he accomplishes the “standard” of winning a natty. I say again, NO EXTENSION until then
THIS IS LAUGHABLE that Brian Kelley took it upon himself to make this bold statement. It reminds me of a desperate man trying to buy himself some time and not get fired.
NOTE: BK HAS MADE similar predictions for the season openers against Florida State and USC! HE SAID QUOTE "We are going to beat the heck out of them, then got his arse handed to him.
Sadly, BK HAS UNNECESSARILY put a HUGE TARGET on LSU'S BACK and the road to the championship will be much more difficult as our OPPONENTS WILL EMPTY THE TANK TRYING TO BEAT US.
He predicted also that we'd be playing for a nat'l championship in year 3.
My prediction is HE will be gone in 12 months.
He made no such prediction of winning a Natty in year 3. He said year 3 at all his other stops is when his teams have been the most successful, most bought into his process. That's also in the East/Midwest, he's learning how to operate and win in the SEC. You're a fool if you think he'll be fired in 12 months. He's currently 28-11 in 3 years. Considering what he inherited that's pretty good.
@Familyman617 We all have our opinions and his salary alone isn't living up to the hype. If we fail to make the playoffs in year 4, it's my opinion he'll be gone. I hope he proves me wrong. But I'm getting tired of his excuses. "We're not finishing games" he says. LOL ! We'll, BK this is your team and your coaches and your "process" and we're failing miserably at 8-4.
The head coach needs to spend more time with his players and coordinators making sure we are creative in our play calling and can stop a running QB on defense. Simple things a great coach can do. I don't dislike BK. I just think playing in the SEC is much tougher than he thought
@Familyman617 I remember it well. He told a sports reporter he expected to be playing for a championship by year 3 that's why I came to LSU.
Also, He told the Death Valley Voice to judge him by year 3 and now it's judgment time.

@@Retiredjournalist88Did Les Miles or Ed O take over a program in the height of the transfer portal first why LSU had only 36 scholarship players on the roster like Brian Kelly. Realistically year 4 or 5 is when you should see LSU loaded on both sides of the ball and a national contender which is 2025 and 2026.
@DRIVINGPARKCBYA There are some who want to see BK stay, but in this next 4th year if we're 8-4 or 9-3 and don't make playoffs, I just don't see how he stays. IMO
Let's Geaux
He should be pissed now make it happen
Yep! See you in the national championship! Nuss will take us there with big interceptions and fumbles in the big moments! Way to squander Colin. Great stewardship!
Agreed. I could imagine Colin leaving via portal.
Paid him too much money so he gonna do what he wants to. Coach O is way better coach,he had to rebuild. Dis jackrabbit had 3 years n all he done was hurt LSU recruiting.lost QB to Michigan
Lincoln Riley's Trojans finished 6-6, Brian Kelly's Tigers finished 8-4, Marcus Freeman's Irish finished 11-1 and are in the playoffs. Those are the receipts.
No 💩 no one is happy about 8-4 but that’s what happened. Next year I don’t see us being any better…what 9-3 again?? At best?? All ima say is they better make the playoffs next year or his job will definitely be on the hot seat.
LSU has no money to buy out his long term, fully guaranteed contract! 😢
So what he if goes 9-3? That's on par with most regular seasons. With it being substantially harder to win. Yall are still treating coaching in this Era of ball like its the 2000s. You fire Kelly, it's almost a guarantee the entire staff is gone... then what happens. All the talent you've amassed over his 1st 3 years are all in the portal. You have to pay out 70-80 mil and pay double that to bring in a new staff. Then we are starting all over again. Some of yall don't think about that.
@ you wanna talk about don’t think lol you don’t know wtf you talking about. 9-3 is unacceptable at what he’s making. It’s not the standard at LSU. If he doesn’t make the playoffs next year watch how many fans will be calling for his job. Year 4 next year…he has to get it right. Period
@@KaminJohnthey are literally about to let a 9-3 team from the SEC in the playoffs. The SEC is harder than every other conference. We would be saying this about other coaches that would have took over LSU because he was literally left a dumpster fire. Did y'all forget about Ed O last two years?
@ the 9-3 teams or teams that are getting in the playoffs got lucky. Certain teams have to win/lose for that to happen. Aint nothing guaranteed if you go 9-3..:what im saying is it isn’t acceptable here…eventually you will get let go if you continue becoming 9-3 every year.
😂
Are we not talking about year 3 under Brian Kelly? We talking about incoming freshmen and building next year? What have we been doing for 3 years then? I get our offensive play calling sucks and Nuss played like a first year starter at times but he’s had 3 years to build freshman. He’s got a bullshit answer for everything
When he got here he didn’t even have a roster.
@@austincragun1990 He's had 3 years to build one.Attempt failed.
@@austincragun1990 He's had 3 years to build one. Attempt failed.
My daughter went from shitting in a diaper and laying on the floor like a rock to walking, talking and crapping in the potty in 3 years. You telling me we can’t recruit and build up players in a 3 year span when most college careers are only 3 years anyway?
@@jm7864 He has already been here 3 years. Next year will be year 4.
FYI. Even if your honored men like burrow, chase, Jefferson came back, do any of you really think they would choose Brian Kelly. Keep whistling past the graveyard.
What a joke
Not feeling good about Nussmeier.
Clearly a man desperate to keep his job. Seem like he does well. Only 3 losses is a good season for LSU. Fans are not realistic.
Desperate? His job is as safe as anyone else in the country. He's got two more years wo needing to worry. That team played for their coach so your narrative is off quite a bit
Only three losses get the hell out of here. That's no standard and you're no fan. Keep it pushing
Kelly saying that he'll see us in the NC is a fool running his mouth. He needs to prove that he can win a season opener before he goes beyond that.
Correct. Matt is too much of a Homer to " Get it".
He did not predict a NC. Especially next year. Those were not the words that came out of his mouth; I watched his presser live.
Brian Kelly .. talk is cheap
He didn't win anything at ND in 11 years
He is Ryan Day 2.0
