00:00And speaking of petty, nobody knows that word more than Brian Kelly does.

00:04My gosh, leaving Notre Dame, didn't think that Marcus Freeman would be more coveted as a coach

00:09than Kelly, but here we are three seasons later and Kelly's teams at LSU have lost three games

00:15every single year. Now, if Kelly wasn't the last name of LSU's coach and this was their record,

00:20you may look at it and go, all right, this isn't bad for LSU, but he came in with such fanfare

00:26and had four losses this season, Bill. I kind of feel like there's pressure on every coach

00:34at the SEC level, but maybe some extra on Kelly this year.

00:39Yeah, and he caught a lot of strays during the playoff from people saying, you know,

00:43Notre Dame got there without him. And I would be one of the people that said Notre Dame wouldn't

00:49be in this spot if not for Brian Kelly. He did bring an era of stability to that program. Yeah,

00:54they didn't beat Clemson and they didn't beat Alabama in those playoff semifinals,

00:59but neither did anybody else. So, but it does turn up the pressure for next year.

01:04They are one of the boomer bus teams, in my opinion, with Garrett Nussmeyer coming back

01:09quarterback with the transfer portal additions they've made. And they've been very active

01:14in the portal this off season, as opposed to last off season and the schedule, you know,

01:20they haven't won an opener, Craig, an opener since 2019. And who are they playing in week one

01:28at Clemson? So I don't know who makes these LSU schedules. Maybe, maybe schedule somebody easy

01:33in here in the opener, one of these years, because Brian Kelly has been unable to win

01:38the opener and here they are with another tough one.
