Brian Kelly is suggesting to his fanbase that his recruiting failure is because Oklahoma "bought" Damonic Williams. It's an excuse that deflects blame. It's also insulting to DW and OU's staff. I think Kelly is full of BS. If DW's plan was to sell himself to the highest bidder, would he have really canceled his visit to Oregon?

Love your background. I have that print signed by Earl and beautifully framed in my office.

Spot on. You can’t overpay out of desperation. The best 2 DTs in spring portal wouldn’t have gotten such attention in Dec. LSU fans have been the worst over this. LSU has 8 interior DL. They need to step up and LSU hired a staff to make that happen. Bo knows DL. Half of those guys were highly rated recruits and have never really gotten good coaching. Remember, LSU didn’t have a full time DL coach last year due to medical reasons.

Brian Kelly himself was bought. That's why he's there. For him to criticize others for what he did is hypocritical.

Being full of it and paying a a random starter more than everyone else on the team when the need warrants it but the players merit and talent don’t warrant it is disrespectful to yourself and your program and it set a precedence for how you will behave in the future when a player asks for more than they talent is worth.

If they refuse, ask the Commissioner of Mountain West/PAC 2 Conference. I'm sure the latter would love to discuss a NIL Cap. This will allow them to recruit better players for their conference. Angel USC'78

You act like LSU is a second class program compared to UGA. The last three years is all that matters you? You look at players in the NFL, SEC Championships, title game appearances and national championships the past 20 or so years. They don’t beat LSU in any of those categories. There is no place that develops players better than LSU. Look at NFL rosters and look and recruiting rankings no school gives you a better shot at making the league. Whether you want to admit it or not no school besides Bama has been more successful than LSU since 2000. We did it with four different coaches. On the field results and NFL talent. Nobody besides bama has as national championships or played in more title games. Maybe OSU and Bama can claim the same about of NFL success but they finish top 3 every year in recruiting.

I think this is more complicated than most think. Kelly didn't do a good job of explaining it. Yes, all of the great coaches sell their program. Great coaches don't start with "how much can we/will we pay you". For great teams, NIL closes the deal, it doesn't open the deal. With his explanation, Kelly is correct in selling the program. His attacking the NIL is either sour grapes, misspeaking or wrong.

Williams asking price was $1.2 million Kelly told him we have a LT whose gonna be a top 5 pick and started every game since he was a freshman who doesn’t make that much. The other side of the argument is lsu has bodies at DL seniors and a 5 star freshman they just don’t have proven starters

Who got bought? Sounds like Kelly concocted this excuse to deflect blame for a recruiting miss.

The fallacy here is that Kelly’s speech implies the other contenders for these ARE “paying” for players, when I can tell you, as an OU fan, that our NIL is no better than the average SEC team at the moment. I can’t speak to the other talent, but unless it’s Texas or Ole Miss or OSU or a few others, the vast majority of teams cannot afford to just “pay” for players, and are trying to sell players on the same stuff Brian is trying to sell them on.

It sounds like the same approach most of the better programs with the exception of Ohio State. Ohio State is a great program that currently looks desperate to win something of significance again and willing to pay anything for it.

My thing on this ! The game has turned into a pay to play game🤨. It wasn't hard to give them money before NIL so why close your pockets NOW!!! No coach should get what you get either!!!! Sit down and give back a couple of millions you are getting!!! You're not getting hit , these kids are!!! NCAA was supposed to have fixed the problem by putting a cap on the amount ANY NIL deals!!! Very, very simple!!! 🤔LSU just gave two coaches a pay raise 🤔🤔🤔 . I'm a tiger for life!!!! But join the race or get left behind!!!!!

when a guy wants to get paid more than Will Campbell and Harold Perkins to fill a roster hole he’s holding your W/L column as leverage instead of his talent. You’ve kinda already lost if you’re in that position as a team.

And look at our roster. While others are losing starting players, LSU has not and has not been paying ANYBODY 7 figures, not even close to that. Why have our starters decided to stay? We have two projected first rounders on the OL. We have a protected first rounder at LB. Why have none of them left? Why have we not even heard any thoughts of them leaving? Williams was asking for twice as much as our highest paid player. He must be out his effing mind! BK is building a program, not a single year.

Let’s look at what that 1.2 million dollar player does in December.

It is just really upsetting because on one side of the ball I am confident that Kelly is a top 5 Coach. He constantly builds and develops a good O-Line. He is constantly churning TE's. He is recruiting AMAZING at QB and WR level. But this is a two sided sport. I feel like this will come back to bite him in the ass in 2-3 years. This is all about perspective for an EXTREME fan base, me included. He decided NOT to spend money on addressing this issue. That is fine, cool. But let our defense be below average in conference for the 3rd year in a row, and he starts to develop the appearance of not knowing what he is doing on the defensive side, and NOT EVEN TRYING to fix it. Let him blow money in NIL on some defense palyers, if they don't pan out and we are still below SEC average, he at least tried and those players stink/staff did not develop them. But I would rather a staff fail at developing vs a staff not even try to get them in, in the first place. LSU has money. It is THE univeristy of Louisiana. Donors, sponsors, we produce chemical and oil money. LSU has money. Not using it in my opinion shows he is not taking it seriously on the defensive side of the ball. LSU easily wins 10 games last year if we had a top 50 defense, maybe 11 if we split Florida St and Bama.

They’re paying player but outside of generational talent freshman come in with a reasonable deal then production on the field at LSU dictates their future NIL slotting.

Steve Sarkisian is full of it buying lambos for Isaiah Bond and buying all of Bamas players lol

Lots of words used on this point being made... seems to me the most convincing points are made using fewer words. Not wrong, just not strong.

Things being taken out of context, as per usual in the headline and clickbait times we live in

We will see when he get into the last year of that contract and he's only won 8 games or less. I bet eat his words

My problem is he’s full of it, he paid for a senior linebacker from Oregon state just last year.

And that player turned out to be a bust, so not doing that again.

He didn't pay for a LB, the NIL collective paid. Also, that LB wasn't paid $1.2 M... Apples to baseballs comparison by you....

When you over pay for undertalented all you’re buying is dissension.

The problem is we can’t just put a mask on. He isn’t wrong but Kelly is also just setting himself up for if they fail he has a built in excuse. And if the team is good then hey look how good of a coach Kelly is for “over achieving” he did that constantly at notre dame

Nobody is gonna say anyone is overachieving at LSU. I don't think it's a built-in excuse, I think he's being honest about the program he's trying to run.

BK is100% right. 1.5 mil for a mediocre DT? OU is stupid.

1.5 mil? OU didn't offer a NIL package anywhere near that. mediocre? he was the top DT in the portal. BK is deflecting. Williams believes OU's coaching staff will better develop him.

No but Bryan Kelly is a second class coach, he is not a top tier. He has a proven track record to choke, he doesn’t develop well. Tell your boosters to open them pockets sounds like a hater. I don’t like this college football we are in now but that’s what it is until they change it so you either adapt to it or fall to the way side

He rolled out the same gameplan that nearly got ND beat by Toledo when Fickell & Sauce came to town. BK is just not a championship caliber coach.
