00:00Do you believe that Brian Kelly's going to get fired in Baton Rouge?
00:08No, because I'm hearing that he might even actually want it to happen because he wants
00:18to get out of there with his head on his neck and shoulders because it's only going to get
00:23worse for him in Death Valley.
00:26I mean, the fans and the media are already turning on him.
00:30You knew they would.
00:31It's real simple.
00:32If you don't win every game at LSU, they want you fired and thrown to alligators.
00:38Well, look, let's say he wins his last two games and he goes 8-4.
00:43I mean, in a very tough SEC, you're right.
00:46It's not good enough.
00:47Even though the SEC is super tough this year and there's going to be four teams in the
00:50playoff, etc.
00:51Did he ever do that at Notre Dame?
00:52They are not going to be satisfied.
00:53Did he ever go 8-4 at Notre Dame?
00:55I mean, there was a couple early years that he did, but by the time he left, he had the
01:01machine where they were winning 10 games every year at minimum.
01:04They were winning 10 games in South Bend.
01:06We've had this talk.
01:07He could have had that job for life.
01:08He would have been the head coach at Notre Dame.
01:12And now he goes 8-4 again next year.
01:14I don't think they're firing him.
01:15I think if he has another year like this next year, they're not going to have it because
01:21they didn't bring him there to go 8-4 every year.
01:23As much as that, they're not going to take 8-4.
01:26They won't accept it.
01:27Yes.
01:28I got a question for you.
01:29So, you and I have talked about this a number of times.
01:30I think it's very interesting.
01:31When he was at South Bend, he had it, like you said, he had the machine churning.
01:38And he had, I think, the greatest, frankly, job in college football.
01:45If you win at Notre Dame and you have the glory of old Notre Dame behind you and the
01:52South Bend faithful behind you at Notre Dame Stadium and you play for national championships
01:57at Notre Dame, people will say whatever they want, but it's real simple.
02:02I believe that, I actually believe there's more Notre Dame fans than Alabama fans.
02:07I think in the real world, Notre Dame has more fans than anyone.
02:12I really do.
02:14And if they win, there's nothing like being the coach at Notre Dame.
02:18This guy actually thought he had climbed the mountaintop at Notre Dame and that he
02:24was going to go climb the mountaintop in the SEC and take on Nick Saban.
02:30That's what he was doing.
02:32I don't think he ever thought Nick Saban was going to retire like he did.
02:36And now he's taking on DeBoer and Lane Kiffin.
02:39He bit off more than he could chew.
02:42He had it all in South Bend.
02:44And when he went down there, all he's had is agita.
02:50His last five years in South Bend, 10-3, 12-1, 11-2, 10-2, 11-1.
02:56Those were his last five years.
02:57He left off of that, including in those five years, two college football playoff appearances.
03:02And that was when they were only letting four teams in.
03:04How many of those years with 10 and 11 wins would he have got in with 12?
03:08Probably all five, knowing how Notre Dame gets pumped up.
03:11Probably wouldn't have made the playoff every year.
03:14So this is his third year.
03:16Now he's won.
03:18He's gotten 10 wins the last two years, but that includes the bowl game win.
03:21But those are not big bowl.
03:22They won the Citrus Bowl and the Reliacwest Bowl to get him to 10 wins the last couple
03:26of years.
03:27So, you know, they're not going to take 10 wins in the Citrus Bowl.
03:35Exactly.
03:36They're not going to take 10 wins with a Citrus Bowl win.
03:38That's not what they hired him for.
03:39Today, he needs to make the college football playoff every year to make them happy.
03:45He should have never left Notre Dame.
03:46And you know who's laughing all the way to the bank is Freeman.
03:49Freeman's laughing.
03:50He's going to be there this year.
