My wife (LSU alum x2) and I were at the Vandy game last Saturday sitting with a bunch of other Tiger fans. Tiger Nation took over about half of Vandy's stadium. The further that game went, the uglier the crowd became towards Kelly. Rumor has it that they will first finish paying off Coach O and then can Kelly. However, with Bama, A&M and Oklahoma still left to play, things could progress rather rapidly if those games all go south. Kelly's seat is white hot right now.

This does not surprise me one bit. In addition to being an overhyped coach, he's been an SOB at all his former stops -- CMU, Cincinnati, and UND.

What's interesting about this story is that our former AD Julie Cromer is now part of the staff at LSU, assisting their AD.

Terrible fit from the beginning and LSU fans were spoiled because their last three coaches all won national titles by their 4th year. Kelly isn't on track to do that, but he's still an excellent coach (34-13 record there).

Interesting that you mention stadiums GoCats 105. Although the endzone projects Vandy recently completed are nice, since they are geared towards the Big Donors and invole mainly private seating/boxes they really do nothing for the general admission/casual fan types nor the students either. The rest of the stadium is on par with or below the east side (band side) of Peden Stadium. Underneath the stadium bleachers on either side it is crowded and narrow. I know LSU fans who were at the stadium 1/2 hour before kickoff and in line to go in, and did not get to their seats until the end of the 1st quarter. The ramps going into the bleachers were very narrow and not well light. The stairs going up the bleachers were narrow and could not handle the crowd flow at all. If you were in the upper part of the bleachers you did not go down for concessions underneath because you would spend at least 1 1/2 quarters trying to accomplish that feat. And finally, the restrooms underneath the bleachers were below the standard of those on either the east or west side of Peden. No offense to Vandy, but that stadium is a dump and I will not go into parking availability other than to say think Uber, limo or taxi.

Vanderbilt's football stadium was built in 1922.

Their basketball arena is ancient too. It finally just got air conditioning.

The Titans who suck out loud are getting a 2.7 billion dollar dome.

Tip: if you stay at the Marriott behind the end zone, you won't need uber or lyft

OCF, My wife and I had a similar experience when we went to our game with Virginia held there a few years ago. Probably really didn’t need our tickets. :)

Kelly's dog is now on life support.

49-25 loss to Texas A&M

But with 54 mil he can buy another one.

I believe this makes TEN FBS coaches fired midseason before November. This is just crazy to me.

Everybody wants to win now and are throwing big money to get it done. The reality is that not everybody can win now. My old boss said it and it seems appropriate that a lot of people are using their “money instead of their brains”. I don’t think all this throwing money will end anytime soon for some fan bases, but some are going to cry “uncle” after a few more cycles with poor results, maybe not.

And that AD is partly responsible for , I think, the 2 largest buyouts in football history-Fisher at A&M and Kelly at LSU-$130,000,000 total. Is he on the hotseat at LSU? He should be.
