Brian "Body Kount" Kelly (HC Louisiana State)

He was trying to make a firm point, but in the end, he didn't have a leg to stand on.

I'm pretty sure Ohio State plays Michigan this season, Bri-dog.

The way Kelly is going maybe Urban should be at NBC calling their games..deep pocketed alumni may want a change..they're ok with losing a student videographer but sure as hell don't start 0-2

I'd respond to this but I'm far too drunk and I need to concentrate on my driving.

In that state, if you make it to Suth Ben, you're likely to sexually assault a female student there. But if you're a football player, you'll never be publicly identified.

hahahaha what the f? Someone give that girl some tweezers for her brows and tell Kelly to never try commercials again.

Still 0-2, you fuckstick.

Staring down the barrel at 0-3 with Sparty coming to town this week.

i don't think the guy that lost to tulsa at home last year should comment about scheduling easy teams.

Hey now, that Tulsa team came within 38 points of beating Oklahoma State.

:!

I hope we somehow meet them in a BCS bowl and beat them by 300. I also hope John Simon tackles him to death.

I don't, their 0-2, and not seeing the Championship game. I am still holding out hope for our bucks. And I don't want our young men exposed to Kelly's salty language.

Certainly the DBs never face backward....

I've updated the numbers and included Kelly's performance at Cincinnati and Notre Dame....

Here are the before and after records of the last four hot shot Big East coaches to take the step up to big boy conferences:

John L. Smith
41 - 21 (.661) in 5 years at Louisville
22 - 26 (.458) in 4 years at Michigan State

Bobby Petrino
41 - 9 (.820) in 4 years at Louisville
25 - 15 (.625) in 3+ years at Arkansas

Rich Rodriguez
60 - 26 (.698) in 7 years at West Virginia
15 - 22 (.405) in 3 years at Michigan (Michigan's all-time winning percentage is .733)

Mark Dantonio
18 - 17 (.514) in 3 years at Cincinnati
35 - 19 (.649) in 4+ years at Michigan State

Brian Kelly
33 - 6 (.847) in 3 years at Cincinnati
8 - 7 (.534) in 1+ years at Notre Dame

Like Smith, Petrino, and Rodriguez, Kelly is performing far below his Big East record since taking the jump to major college football. Obviously Kelly has only 15 games under his belt, but it looks like he will soon go the way of Davie, Willingham, and Weis (combined record of 91-67, for a .576 winning percentage).

While Smith and Rodriguez were disasters for their respective programs, Petrino is winning at a respectable rate. But respectable (.625) is still a major drop-off from his winning percentage in the Big East (.820).

The point being, that it is very hard to win at a high rate in the major conferences, and beating up on the Little Sisters of the Big East is not an accurate predictor of success in the B1G or SEC.
