I dont consider it a badge of honor if a school fires their coach for losing to us.
You dont fire your coach for losing to a program you expect to be competitive or better. You fire a coach for losing to a program you perceive to be worse off than you.
Firing Kelly, also is a signal that LSU does not see us as equals. They see us as we should have a lesser program and Kelly let us get the best of them.
It's true LSU doesn't "see us as equals"; in reality, they now realize we're the superior program, & our upward trajectory is scaring the hell outta LSU's administration & donors.
This weekend's game was MONUMENTAL, for both LSU and A&M; however, LSU is hanging by a thread while Elko has provided a much-needed culture change & vision, & the stark contrast between both teams has left LSU shattered & desperate- especially since it was a "RIVALRY GAME" (their words- not mine, but LSU'd next-day termination definitely rebuts claims to the contrary)!!!
Further, THE reason for CBK's firing was the 'Death Valley Takeover' by Aggies at the game's conclusion, as THAT was the final straw/ defining moment!! In fact, when I attended LSU & having watched almost every game since, NO ONE has EVER taken-over Death Valley in the manner that the Aggies did at the end, which came only after an absolute "wood shed beat down" that has led to the majority of the LSU fans on suicide watch!!
