Same tragedy struck Saban when he became LSU coach.

LOL

How did you determine those are facts? Did coach publicly state that? If not, then those aren’t facts, but merely thoughts from you, which mean nothing.

Respectfully, there is an important distinction between an excuse and an explanation. Similar reasoning could apply if one were to consider the terms inferior and necessarily versus unfamiliar. Freeman and Rees were familiar; however, that does not necessitate that any hire Kelly makes in the future shall be inferior in theory or in practice. One could even argue that hiring Freeman or Rees would have fitted more accurately under the heading of convenience rather than recruitment, as Kelly had already recruited and hired both previously and was obviously satisfied with his prior decision in doing so or he would not have made the offer to follow him.

If you apply that logic to Nick Saban, he offered his whole staff from Michigan State and not one came to LSU. So was the staff that won the Natty in 2003 inferior? I think NOT!

are we really calling the HC job at Notre Dame an “excuse” and “valid reason”?

i know ND hasn’t been at the top for a while, but they’re still freaking Notre Dame.

it’s not like he took a position coach gig a the Polytechnic School for the blind.
