My read on BK is he's always wanted to be Big Man on Campus

You can do that when youre winning games at all of his previous stops. Head Ball Coach King Shit in any number of smaller ponds, and I'm sure he looks back on all of that fondly.

With Notre Dame, once he turned the corner, we all got back into Proper Expectations mode and didn't waste a lot of time appreciating the rebuild.

On to LSU, he thought he could roll in as "here I am where I was always meant to be" and it turned out to be A LOT harder than he thought.

He can win football games. I'm sure he has plenty to share from his experience.
He can win at a high level, but absolutely has a ceiling.

If he ever comes back to coaching, I fully expect him to try and lock in at a mid-table power school and try to get a statue for a couple of 10 win seasons.
