The End of Brian Kelly’s Career in Death Valley?
Florida 27 - LSU 16
LSU alums and donors are a lot less tolerant than those at almost any other school I can think of. I can’t imagine that Kelly will survive 4 losses, including 3 straight trouncings by Texas A&M, Alabama and Florida in the last 3 weeks. Plus he’s a totally phony ‘southern boy’.
Ask Ed Orgeron. He was a real Cajun and a pretty good football coach. (He coached the 2019 LSU Tigers to a national championship, beating the defending champions Clemson.) They showed Orgeron the door with not so much as a good luck and goodbye.
This losses threatening Kelly’s tenure in Baton Rouge should encourage QB recruit Bryce Underwood to seek stability only 20 minutes from home in Ann Arbor. Will his friend and primary LSU recruiter Joe Sloan risk tying his wagon to Brian Kelly, or take the head job at his alma mater, East Carolina?
Knowing the intolerance of losing and lack of patience of the alum powers-that-be at LSU, if I was Sloan I wouldn’t take that risk. That would make Underwood’s decision a whole lot easier.
