He’s taking the Jimbo Fisher approach. You will hear the same thing from Kelly next year

“Defense will be much better”

I hope you’re right but I’m curious, what makes you say that?

I still don’t see why we can’t win a Natty next year.

You will have a first year starter at QB next year. While I think Nuss will be a great QB it would’ve been nice for him to go into next year with a year of starts under his belt especially since this year will be a nothing burger anyway.

did we look one year away walking out of Tiger Stadium after Bama game in '18?

The defense looked fine.

Specifically more experience in the secondary.

We obviously missed with Alexander & Chestnut in the Portal this year. Those 2 are the “most experienced” guys we have & every other CB we have is Fr/So

Maybe JK Johnson comes back & can contribute, but Harris, Welch, Stamps should all be better with more game experience

Not worried about DL & it will be Perkins best year yet before he’s a top 5 pick in the draft.

Real bonus if Greg Brooks can make a comeback

He’s got the 11th ranked recruiting class at this point so I guess he’s expecting some big signings and/or some really good coaching

The person who knows the team the best said this, yet our fanbase decided this was our year. I was one of those fans with the offense we had. Guess the man knew what defensive product he was putting out there.

Hey O won a NC in his 3rd year. Kelly would be behind schedule if he doesn’t.

This is a simple Jack comparison. Look at the programs each of those guys took over and get back to me.

Just for comparison's sake and I know I'm sure anyone can point to coaches to the contrary but Mike Norvell has been in Florida State this is his fourth year his first year he went 2 and 9 his second year he went 5 and 7 of course had he been here at LSU that means all the hellhounds would be calling to fire him because of 2 losing seasons back-to-back his third year was last yearhe went 9 and 3 his fourth year is this year and looks like they're going to probably be in the playoffs so look I Not that I'm full steam ahead on Brian Kelly's bandwagon but there are things that take a little more time than coming in here and doing a complete roster rebuild and winning a Natty in Football. Hats off to coach Mulkey and Jay Johnson for doing it as soon as they did.
