Basically he had vomiting and headaches during practice in front of the coaches, continued to have symptoms for 39 days before the staff sent him to a neurologist. Basically had a brain tumor, had surgical issues that left him handicapped. Basically Kelly and the staff didn’t even contact the kid after the surgery.

Kelly is a POS but this should’ve been vetted by the medical staff. If Kelly interfered there then yeah his ass needs to be dragged. Oh and did I mention Brian Kelly is a POS.

I do think BK is an a-hole, but it seems entirely possible he hasn't been in contact with Brooks's family because they've sued LSU. Brooks's dad said himself that he hasn't been in contact since shortly after the surgery, and that's exactly when they sued. He did visit Brooks in the hospital.

When a young person in great health suffers from nausea and headaches, is the first thought "Oh, I bet that's a brain tumor?" This is such a sad situation, and I feel horrible for Brooks and his family, but is it really anyone's fault?

Even if every word that the Brooks family has said is false, Brian Kelly is still a giant piece a crap.

The story is believable because he has been such a huge piece of crap for so long.

Definitely is someone’s fault that it went on for that many days. Bare minimum he should’ve been checked out earlier by a neurologist

I have a company that does neurological testing. Waiting 39 days with consistent symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, is CRAZY. Especially if they have access to specialists immediately because they are members of the football team.

In fairness to the LSU training staff, they would have sent Brooks to the local hospital, Our Lady of the Lake. But Our Lady of the Lake couldn't treat him because they were underfunded as a result of all the money embezzled from the hospital to pay football players.

I don't disagree. That honestly could be part of the reason they think they can get a settlement out of LSU...because BK is so unlikable. He'd be an unlikable guy even if this story or the Declan Sullivan tragedy never happened.

Even if that is true, I don't see how that would be Kelly's fault. He isn't a doctor and has no expertise or authority to make that call.

If someone is at fault here, and that is really up for debate, it seems like it would be LSU's medical staff or Our Lady of the Lake.

I think Notice to the parents should be what you should take into consideration. Plus, it went on for 39 days with no medical evaluation, just the trainer's eval? If true the dad got told he was going into emergency surgery on a day's notice without any prior knowledge.
Yes BK may not be an AH, but he is not a very poor leader, coach, and did this to cover up the trainers take on this.
If you don't have kids, you don't have a clue. If you do, I question your parenting skills and awareness.
Crap Happens and will always happen and can happen to anybody. You can't prevent it but it is how you deal with it that counts and makes the difference.
Total failure here on LSU and the coaching staff.

Hindsight. Bias. You know that the story ended tragically, so it seems like they should have known it all along.

Next time my kids throw up and don't feel well, I'll be sure to insist on getting them a CAT scan. Thanks for the tip.

I'm not a doctor, but if they figured out he had a brain tumor say, a few weeks before, it seems reasonable that he still would have to have had the emergency surgery.

39 days not 1 day. Monitor and evaluate. If anything, you don't tell them walk it off and go back in.

Actually the family didn’t sue the school until nearly a year later, and that’s was after countless attempts to reach Brian Kelly. Waiting 39 days to send the player to the hospital for a check up is downright neglect and shows negligence from Brian Kelly. This isn’t jst some walk on either, this was one of his team captains. And for Kelly to not even give his condolences for nearly a year.. The guy is an *******.

After 30 days of ur kid throwing up , having dizziness you wouldn’t send them to the hospital? Having dizzy spells is a huge indicator of neurological issues. And the kid plays football?I think I would do it on the second day. And for Brian Kelly to not reach out, or over condolences to the family after they reached out . Just shows the P.O.S he rlly is.

They lawyered up right after the surgery. By all accounts, Kelly and/or members of LSU's staff was with him in the hospital.

I get that BK is an unlikable ass - I've said as much. But I don't think this is a simple story. Most aren't. BK is an easy guy to hate, which is probably his Brooks's dad brings his name up so much in the interview and in the lawsuit. BK wouldn't be making the call to send him to a doctor anyway.

Show me proof they was at the hospital. Anything I’ve read , it’s the opposite. I would lawyer up too if the doctor that performed my son’s brain surgery was unqualified to do so. But idk if they right after the surgery, they’re was a lot going on at the time.

I don't know. I'd definitely have them seen by someone, which he was. Having dizzy spells and vomiting a lot is also a sign of vertigo, which in the vast majority of cases doesn't mean the person has a brain tumor. That's what they thought he had. Also, BK other members of the coaching staff were in the hospital with him after the surgery. That isn't being disputed. The contact broke off after Brooks's family lawyered up, which was soon after the surgery, and I'm sure BK was doing that on advice of LSU's counsel.

If somebody is at fault here, it seems like it is way more likely to be LSU's training staff or the hospital. BK doesn't have the expertise or authority to know what to do about an injury or illness to a player. Part of the lawsuit is alleging that the surgeon at the hospital wasn't qualified to perform the surgery.

Again, BK is an obvious punching bad, which I get, but I don't see how this is his fault.
