re: 247 Sports: Final grades for first year head coaches

Freeman did a terrible job overall. He was given immense liberties by the media overall. We’ve been told he can recruit much better than Kelly. That remains to be seen for one and two, can he develop said talent? Seems a chunk of Irish fans are of the motto that “Freeman can bring the talent and Kelly could not” but can he coach it? Look down at Miami with Mario, he can recruit, but you cannot tell me that man is worth that contract. Now in Baton Rouge, Kelly is bringing in, one of LSU’s best classes of all time by grade and it’ll likely include four 5 stars as per ON3. Kelly is smart enough to surround himself with a great staff that can recruit as well, which is an underrated element of his game.
