Show Notes
Brian Kelly is out at LSU after three and a half of the odder seasons in recent memory. Alex and Richard discuss his ouster and LSU’s future options:
* The $54 million buyout is probably not a $54 million buyout
* Kelly was an awkward cultural fit for LSU. Did that affect his ability to do his job, or did it just speed up his downfall once he was flailing?
* Speaking of that: Why couldn’t the winningest coach in Notre Dame history get things revved up in a job where he thought he had more upside?
* Congratulations to LSU AD Scott Woodward, whose ability to spend other people’s money on blockbuster coaching flops is without parallel
* The coaching carousel, shaping up to be the wildest ever, is on its way to a major mismatch between supply and demand
* Why it’s time for Woodward to eat his vegetables
