I think you're missing the point. The average winning percentage of the last three coaches BEFORE they got to LSU was 50.9%.

Their winning percentage AT LSU was 74.6%. Brian Kelly COMES IN with a winning percentage of 73.9%.


All of y'all are missing the point, which is that it's a stupid graphic. Kelly's winning percentage includes lots of years after he had already built it. Most of his wins came at programs who were naturally competitive against their schedule. All of the others' winning percentages are for the "ladder years" when they were fighting their way up. Of course those will be worse.

If you are comparing Saban to Kelly you should include all of Saban's career. Saban did not have the advantage Kelly had in being at a blueblood for a dozen seasons before taking the LSU job.

You're missing the point, yet again.

For the first time LSU is not making a king or having a guy making a name for himself, we have a king! We hired a guy who has done everything but win a national championship at the highest level.
