re: Why is Kelly so idle?

Absolutely no one on this board or in the media has any clue about what Brian Kelly is doing, and I like it that way. Much more refreshing than having a coach who just called a few people and hired the people they recommended, or hiring a washed up coordinator without even interviewing him.

As far as losing players to the portal, just look around. LSU has done as well as anyone in the entire country at retaining players. Absolutely no one has done better. Other schools are losing key starters, which hasn't happened thus far with LSU.
