Brian Kelly's angry, table-slamming response to LSU's loss to USC isn't helping

Brian Kelly’s tenure at LSU in the past few years hasn’t exactly been the most fun despite back-to-back 10-win seasons, especially when it comes to quotes.

He had his “beat the heck out of Florida State” quote backfire, he once ripped the media for being late, and so on.

This time? After an opening-season loss to USC on Sunday, Kelly was in the middle of answering a question about his disappointment, and he showed his anger by slamming his fist on the table, making his water bottle jump.

“We’re sitting here [SLAM] again talking about the same things! About not finishing when you have an opponent in a position to put ’em away. But what we’re doing on the sideline is feeling like the game is over. And I’m so angry about it that I gotta do something about it. I’m not doing a good enough job as a coach.”

There’s a bit of show, not tell going on here. You can show you’re angry without the theatrics, but maybe he was just trying to make an emphatic point to the world. But it’s not going to help after a loss like that, in which LSU was up heading into the fourth.
