Nick Saban has nothing to be worried about.

With that said, Brian Kelly is an elite coach and a home run hire for LSU. He was literally the winningest coach in Notre Dame history.

LSU fans need to be more scared of if Brian Kelly fits their program more than Saban needs to be scared of him

What's the reception to Kelly's newly acquired southern drawl from the basketball game last night?

I have to say, I've watched the video about a 100 times, and it makes me laugh consistently every time.

Well, there is always the ones that drink the purple kool-aid. To me, possibly the most bizarre college football coaching hire in history. (I can't think of a stranger one)

It doesn't make sense for him other than the money, and I fail to see how he is going to connect with anyone. The guy has a personality of a brick. He's a good coach, sure, great coach.... maybe. Just absolutely no personality there at all.

The very idea that Nick Saban, heh heh, Old Nick himself, ha ha ha, would get urban meyeritis just because Brain Jelly is coming to the SEC is, well, it's just:

The only effect Kelly being hired at LSU will have on Saban is it will give Saban's agent leverage to get him another big raise. Alabama will almost certainly have to pay Saban more than Kelly.

Kelly isn’t scaring anybody. He can’t even get his assistants to come with him, none of them. Pretty much all of them are staying at ND. That is not a good sign or look. And as far as scaring Saban haha that was a funny joke. GBO!

Coaches haven’t faired too well after the age of 70…….however Bama is probably in a different situation than most any someone at 70+ has been.

Bowden and Paterno did pretty good……but not like before 70. While it certainly appears Saban could coach for quite a while longer…….I don’t see him still hanging out at 77.

Who knows…….but I think if he gets another championship within the next 2 or 3 years……he might hang it up…..again, who knows.

Saban is best college coach of all time. I want to see Tn beat him twice before he goes, once at each place.

Actually Lincoln Riley keeping cal
recruits instate may bring Bama down a notch. Bama has done VERY well in Cali. That’s one reason Helton was dumped so quickly...recruiting was sucking.

Who wrote that article a six year old girl? Brian Kelly had the easiest path to the NC of any program in the nation regardless of what LSU fans want to claim about admissions. It's hard to argue about a huge talent gap when ND's recruiting classes consistently remain in or near the top 10 almost every recruiting cycle the past several years. He had not league championship game or scheduling challenges other than their own preferences. The notion that Brian Kelly is a coaching savant just waiting to be freed from the chains of Notre Dame's academic standards is pure fiction. Is he a good coach? Yes. Is he head and shoulders above any other coach that already exists in the SEC? No, other than maybe Heupel, Beamer, and a couple other young head coaches. LSU has proven though that they can win a NC with average coaches so time will tell, I am not sure why he took the LSU job other than a significant pay raise because it is a much more difficult road through the SEC.

I’d take Heupel over Kelly.

There were people here who said Fulmer would run Saban out of Bama when he took the job.

As much as I hate Bama—with the machine Saban has built down there I doubt he’s scared of anyone. He might’ve been a little gunshy of Freeze at one point, but that situation resolved itself for him.

Completely agree that Freeze was the guy with the best shot. For me it begs a question related to your last statement “resolved itself.” I’ve always had a very strong suspicion that Bama money influenced that entire situation. To think that Ole Miss people wanted him out is questionable. They were one of the hottest brands going at the time that everything blew up on them and Freeze was making legitimate inroads into well established blue-blood territory. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to know Bama power players orchestrated all of it. I share this link about once a season, and I’m always surprised at how few people know the history of the golden goose. Alabama did not invent football, and they really have no business being as dominant as they’ve been over time. The fact that they are almost single-handedly responsible for making college athletics the money machine that it is explains the protectionism for me. Roughly equivalent to the Vatican or the central bank, and everyone must pay homage, make concessions, and genuflect when it’s nut cutting time.
