So long, Brian. 

Was always fascinated by how that one came together. He felt like just the worst culture fit imaginable. Literally no one worse.

Watching the last 10 minutes of the BIG TEN GAME in 60 minutes on BTN. Normally I would not bother watching the ending of a Rutgers at PU game but seeing all the happy/excited PU fans and players, and knowing how they are ultimately going to pee on themselves, is must-see TV.

Just read an old story that was a link in a piece about the former LSU coach. 

Makes it easy to see why Brian Kelly is so disliked. 

When Kelly was at Central Michigan, a pair of grad assistants were under the impression he had invited them to his Christmas party. Instead, they were there to shovel snow and park cars (think "Coming to America"). 

Who were those grad assistants? 

Matt LaFleur -- current Green Bay Packers head coach. 

Robert Saleh -- current San Francisco 49ers DC and former New York Jets HC. 

Both vowed if they ever became head coaches, they'd never be such dicks to their staffs.

Read earlier that apparently he accepted the LSU job while on a recruiting visit.  He stepped away to take the call then returned to gorge himself on the mother’s cooking before leaving. Apparently the news had leaked by the time the family checked their phones after the visit. Sounds like the kid wasn’t then recruited to LSU

Hilarious.  I'm sure LaFluer's driveway could use shoveling up in Green Bay this winter.  He should offer Kelly a job.

I thought maybe that one was satire since it is exactly the same as Coming to America, but hilarious nonetheless. There are quite a few former players, coaches, and media members dancing on Kelly’s grave on twitter/X pretty much confirming what everyone else already knew: he’s a grade A ******.

I can understand why.  It would disrupt the current team they are on, and they wouldn't be able to leave and join the other team till the season is over anyway.  They are still in school, so in theory they need to finish the semester first.  It would be awesome to see some of those PSU and LSU players head to Bloomington though this Spring.

Plus it gives the incoming coach a chance to keep the kids on the team.

If I were the incoming coach, I would want the first crack at trying to recruit any players on the team and send the ones I don't want packing.

I don't know, I think we want players who are used to winning. ;)
