re: Brian Kelly shooting shots.

In his postgame interview on the field immediately after the Alabama win you could tell how overwhelmed he was by the environment and it was something even at ND he had never experienced. That night it was one of those now rare occasions where the stadium was electric from start to finish and the crowd never relented...culminating with a walk-of play to win the game.

He's been an excellent HC for years. But even though he will probably never admit it, he always knew he didn't quite have a team/program that would allow him to sit on the top of the college football mountain. He knows he can have that now. LSU has proven it can win championships. It has proven it can bring in a collection of the best players in the US. Its proven it can beat anyone in college football. Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, etc have great programs and great coaches too. But Kelly knows that when he walks into Tiger Stadium he has a program behind him that can fight in any weight class.
