18Frank Wilson A+
Great hire for LSU, good coach and even better recruiter. Not only that but he was able to develop those recruits.
Jamar Cain A+
Elite recruiter as well. Kelly pretty much stole him from USC. Had OU in the top tier for sacks, pressures, etc. Very well respected as well.
Matt House: A
Another great coach. More on the Dave Aranda side. Not the best recruiter but will be coaching around recruiters. He will develop these players.
Brian Polian A-
Top tier guy and a coach. Awesome recruiter as well. He and Frank Wilson are the ones recruiting the portal hard as well.
Mike Denbrock B+
Very experienced coach which is key. Turned Cincy into a explosive offense. Solid get for this team.
Joe Sloan B+
Kelly was able to steal him for a lower role. The guy is young and has already been a OC. Strong Louisiana recruiting from him as well.
Cortez Hankton B+:
Awesome recruiter with NOLA ties. He was on staff and a good developer for some UGA WRs in the NFL. He developed these younger WRs this year nicely as well.
Robert Steeples B:
Tough to say here. Very little experience but has worked himself up the chain fast. Could potentially be a diamond in the rough with this one. Good things from him
Kerry Cooks B-:
Again a another one tough to grade. He was a part of of a couple weak secondaries at OU and TTU though. Solid recruiter, with some much needed ties for LSU football in the Texas/OU area.
No “bad” hires IMO here. Great coaching staff.

on 1/16/22 at 3:46 pm to Tigerbait1977Yeah its a great staff. I'm excited and if we can pull some really good players to close out this year we have a chance to be good right away next year.

on 1/16/22 at 3:52 pm to Tigerbait1977I like the staff a lot. Looking at the list knowing Brian Kelly is the head man is a refreshing feeling.

on 1/16/22 at 4:03 pm to Tigerbait1977Love everyone else but the secondary staff is going to have to prove it to me personally.

on 1/16/22 at 4:05 pm to CsI would give the two db coaches a d to cooks and f to steeples just because of experience of recruiting and productivity of players

on 1/16/22 at 4:49 pm to Tigerbait1977Denbrock should be lower and so should Cooks

I don't necessarily disagree with cooks but Denbrock just had his team in the playoffs and knows Kelly's system. Why should he be lower than a B?

You can’t give a CB coach who has never coached CBs anything higher than a C-
Cooks isn’t very good at his job either. He’s a C- as well

on 1/16/22 at 6:15 pm to Tigerbait1977I'd give steeples an incomplete and cooks a c. I do believe steeples is a going to be a very good db coach and I believe cooks is there to help him out with the growing pains

on 1/16/22 at 7:15 pm to Tigerbait1977I would give Cooks a C until he proves otherwise. He has the most to prove out of any of these hires.
Steeples should probably be a B- until we see what we have with him, but I think we all see the potential. Maybe House is an A-, but the rest looks pretty spot on.
