Even though the team started off bumpy, its been amazing to see the gradual improvement. The team is patched together but still has a chance at playing in the conference championship. If we beat Alabama, is the COTY award his to lose?

No, we would have to beat Bama and win out and make it to Atlanta. But yea if we do that then I don’t see who else is more deserving.

Probably going to Heupel

But Kelly is doing as good a job as anyone in the country.

Right now he is s contender with Heupel, Smart, Kiffin and Beamer.

It all depends on how things play out.

ETA: SEC coty

Are you serious? Heupel is undefeated and just beat Bama for the first time in 15 years not to mention blew us out. Heupel by a mile.

I think it’s Heupel‘s to lose. If Tennessee nose dives & loses 2 games & doesn’t make it to the SEC C game, it could be someone else’s to win. Id have to say that CBK would definitely be a candidate.

Kelly probably had the most to do with the roster rebuild that he had to accomplish with the portal. But LSU is a great job, is easy to recruit to and is just a few years removed from a national championship. What Heupel has done has been extremely impressive considering that Tennessee was crappy for most of the last two decades. Kansas' coach, TCU's coach and Fritz at Tulane have also done great jobs so far.

The FSU and Tennessee games were poor coaching performances, but FSU was the first game and FSU had a game on LSU already. Other than the decisions made in the Tennessee game (not the loss because Tennessee has a great team), we've won on the road at Auburn and in The Swamp and won 3 of 4 SEC games by double digits. LSU is tied for 1st in the West going into November. Either way, we probably couldn't have asked for more from a coach in his first year at LSU considering where the roster was when he took over.

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Does a bear ____ in the woods?

Of course....one of the all time great coaching jobs ever done, especially given the short amount of time in which the resuscitation / revival has occurred.

Equivalent of recovery from open heart surgery from a near lifeless team with no QB to this - unbelievable, and while done quick, it's not just a short term fix - full revival of the team and fortunes.

Candidate sure, winner eh. He'd have to win the conference. Maybe just the division.

As of 10/26/22 it's Heupel easily.

In the hunt would be:
Lanning at Oregon
Dykes at TCU
CBK
Kirby, Kiffin. Beamer
