Can't speak to the veracity of this report, but it is a bit humorous. And if true, looks like he improved his golf game about as much as he improved his coaching game.

LSU’s football team breakup with Brian Kelly has spawned a wave of unflattering aftershocks. In the aftermath of the 49-25 home loss to Texas A&M and Kelly’s dismissal, a local radio personality alleged that Kelly spent significant time on the golf course during his tenure, fueling frustration about focus and culture.

“Just heard BK carded over 400 rounds at a local country club in his 4 years, average score of 95,” T-Bob Hebert of Barstool Sports posted, a claim that ricocheted through Baton Rouge chatter as the program hit reset.

T-Bob was sober long enough to have a conversation with someone?

That's only two rounds a week, every week for 4 straight years.

Figure 3-4 hours per round so yeah, he gave one work day a week to golf.

Leaves lots of time for recruiting, on field coaching and film work

here's my take on the Brian Kelly era.

you can be a complete asshole if you dig a program up from the dead and raise them to National Prominence.
Nick Saban is the pasteboard for that. People hated Nick (the person) because of how driven he was and it was obvious his way worked.

you can also be a complete idiot as long as you can at least maintain that level of relevance. Les was a literal cartoon character. But he was fun guy to hang around with and he kept the program at a high enough level long enough to stick around for over a decade.

you can be an illiterate ogre as long as your winning. O is borderline mentally handicapped (and that's not really joking). When we were winning, that was fine. Not real funny when the winning stopped.

but what you cannot be is a condescending dickhead if you aren't bringing home titles. plain and simple.
Les and O were given more rope than Kelly because their personalities were a lot easier to tolerate.
Kelly treated everyone like they were beneath him. And if you're going to act like that, you better bring home Nick Saban level results.

When you lose to Vandy (first time since 1990 we've lost to them). When you lose at home to A&M (first time that's happened since '94), you need to have SOME sort of redeeming quality. Kelly has none of those.
and just like the last guy to lose a game to Vandy, or the last guy to lose at home to A&M, Kelly will not be coaching LSU the following season.
