Chris Fowler says Ed Orgeron’s dismissal shows what kind of pressure Brian Kelly will face at LSU.

Fowler recently joined “The Rich Eisen Show,” where he shared his thoughts on the state of college football, including the coaching carousel. Fowler doesn’t like seeing coaches leave their teams before bowl games.

“I don’t like the direction the sport’s going in that respect,” Fowler said. “I think it’s irreversible, basically. I think the fluidity is hard to stop with the transfer portal, [coaching] movement. A couple things happened … on the coaching front. Orgeron getting fired is a chilling thing for coaches because two years ago, he [was] walking on water at LSU. Two years later, he’s out of a job. It can happen that fast, so I think people feel like, ‘Well, if they can do that to one of your own.’

“Brian Kelly goes down to LSU knowing he’s got to win because culturally, it’s a weird fit. He’s had … some awkward moments in the transition to the bayou, which is a unique, wonderful place. But I’ve talked to many coaches over the years who’ve been outsiders there … if you’re not from there, you don’t get the culture, you just have a shorter rope.”

Time will tell if Fowler’s concern about Kelly’s “short rope” becomes an issue during the coach’s tenure at LSU.
