Kelly had one move: rule like a distant dictator. It worked at Notre Dame because he could out-recruit the region, but even then, he’d get exposed the second he ran into elite speed.
He clearly saw Coach O stumble into a ring and figured a "professional" like him could sleepwalk to a title at LSU. He thought the brand would do the heavy lifting for him. Two things killed that plan:
1. He and Scott Woodward completely whiffed on NIL and the Portal. You can’t pull the "my way or the highway" act when players have options and leverage.
2.: He realized quickly that LSU isn't a "set it and forget it" program. It requires a grind he wasn't ready for.
With that massive buyout, he had zero incentive to adapt. He just dug in his heels. Whether he thought he was untouchable or he was actually trying to get fired, it doesn't matter. The timing worked out for us—we’re in a much better spot long-term now. So, the fat, drunk, prick at least did us a solid there
