How do you feel about CBK now - REAL Question!

I said during the FSU game that he was a bad hire. Whoops.

How do you feel about CBK now - REAL Question!

I thought the hire was safe, solid, but not exciting. Same with his staff. I underestimated. He's been excellent.

I've not seen a team improve week-to-week like this LSU squad. With Miles or O, what you saw week one was more or less indicative of what you were going to see in week 10. For this group, based on the FSU game, that would spell a 5-7 or 6-6 season.

Kelly & Co outperformed, as did this team. We're well ahead of schedule as a consistent national title contender.

Turns out Florida st is a pretty decent team that will end up 9-3 or 8-4 with a top 15 defense and a spotty offense.

I was seriously thinking 6-6. But that was more a reflection of how bare Ed O left the cupboard.

With the exception of this psst week having a little big of a Bama hangover, CBK had the Tigers improving each week. To me, that’s a sign of great coaching. Give me week to week improvement. The future of LSU football is bright.

I could not say that 8 months ago.

I was thinking 8 was the ceiling. For similar reasons. But, in a twisted way, the cupboard wasn't in as bad of shape that we may have thought. Obviously, the transfer portal helped to fill some immediate gaps. But seems like overall the team just has responded well to a change in leadership.

Is he a great football coach? Absolutely. Do I like him? Nope

Geaux Tigers

To inherit a team without 39 Scholarship players that wer 5&5, 6&6, and win the SEC west is the best job of coaching that I've ever seen

Always thought Kelly was the right move. Still have questions about poulian! If you put Perkins at punt returner, does he win a heisman next year ?

I thought lsu was going to be a better team this year than the experts thought but after the FSU I wasn't impressed. Special teams lost that game and almost lost other games as well.

CBK showed us that he's not going to allow his team to just be what it is like some of our previous coaches have. Les Miles teams always got worse as the year went on, there is no doubt in my mind that they were practicing incorrectly and not well conditioned. Orgeron had that one really good year, but there are a number of players on that team that are now considered top 10 players in the NFL.

Kelly is doing at lsu what our former coaches outside of saban haven't done and that is doing more with less. We're still operating on a scholarship deficit.

With Kelly, the only question is can he maintain success as a good program and not just succeed when expectations are low. I think his track record at Notre Dame indicates that he will do well here. His recruiting has been greatly simplified by not having to constantly travel coast to coast and he can spend more time housekeeping and doing the little things right.
