re: As I listen to Kelly, I really love the discipline, accountability, and expectations.

He has the same mindset of saban . This is what we need and why I thought Aranda would also be a good choice. Detail oriented and focused on the big picture.

I wonder if some of the attraction of the LSU job is because Kelly views himself as good or better than saban, but hamstringed by ND academics. His record is pretty impressive but without the championships he’s not in the same conversation. He’s definitely got a higher ceiling at LSU, and must still have something to prove by jumping into the SEC firestorm at this point in his career. He could’ve comfortably gone 10-2 at ND the rest of his career and nobody would’ve thought any less of him. Contrast that with Lincoln Riley who went to an easier job with less expectations and less competition. I think that’s a good sign for LSU.
