quote:

Kelly came in with a serious, methodical, disciplined approach and, I’ll admit, some awful dancing skills and the Tigers have a top-10 class. In the SEC West, Alabama isn’t going anywhere and Texas A&M is vastly improved and the division as a whole is a complete dogfight every weekend but who is going to have his team more prepared and ready to go?

Kelly worked wonders at Notre Dame with athletes nowhere near what he’s going to have in Baton Rouge. He won’t admit it but Kelly did everything possible in South Bend, maxed out the skill level there and was looking for a new challenge. This is it. And to think his coaching ability or plan is somehow being questioned before he even coaches a game - or has time to implement things - is ridiculous.

The LSU football program needed a dose of seriousness and now they have it.

Who is questioning his coaching ability? This is fained out rage and Rivals just trying to stay relevant. Rivals sucks pretty much.

Sports media is worse than TMZ. These people discuss bullshite more than sports.

That is one long, terribly constructed sentence. That whole thing was pretty hard to read.

Man, it was really tough for this guy to admit Kelly is a good coach. He tried to play it off like the fans are questioning him, but seems like he was trying to convince himself.

Funny how LSU could be such a successful program but still gets treated like a mid-major.

I love how the media has been drumming up this narrative that we as fans are going to not give him any time,we don’t like him,he doesn’t fit in, and we are gonna run him out of town after 2 years.Sure every team has unrealistic fans but I haven’t heard anybody say we are going to compete for a title this year we just want to see improvement.I think it will be easy to go 8-4 this year and I think majority of our fans would be happy with that year one.

Well there have been lots of media members and keyboard warriors out there who have questioned his ability to compete in the south.

They think we liked having colorful idiots like les and o as coach. It's insulting honestly. They think so low of Louisiana people they disregard that many lsu fans know good football and have longed for a real deal football coach since saban. That's where all the "bad fit" nonsense comes from. Lsu is one of the best jobs in football, and it finally has a coach with one of the best resumes in football

I'm so frickin tired of hearing about the TikTok dancing thing. Jesus Christ. Every article that's written about Kelly they have to throw in some stupid quip about his dancing.

Totally agree! Finally someone with a little common sense!

As we all know, common sense, not so common...

I actually thought he was pretty open and honest about that.

Herman Johnson was the biggest baby ever born in Louisiana.

Sports writers tend to be hacks who constantly repeat the same shite to fill up space.
