You don't get 10 years at LSU going 8-5 because you want to set examples of players who fail to deliver on the "excellence in the classroom" part.


People seem to forget the mess that Kelly inherited at LSU. He was handed a team with 39 roster players(some that would hit the portal or be processed for not buying into discipline). That 39 includes players like kicker and punter.

Between our 2019 and 2022 classes(which would be our sophomore’s and fifth year seniors) we recruited 40 defensive players. Of those 6 have gone pro and 22 have transferred out.

This team the last few years under Coach O had zero discipline or accountability. Denver Harris had issues at Texas A&M that weren’t just classroom discipline.

Kelly has done a great job addressing team needs and fixing the undisciplined culture that was established. This wasn’t going to be a snap of the finger turnaround a lot of our fans seem to believe. It was going to be a multi year rebuild to get the caliber of players LSU is accustomed to and depth we need to compete for a title.

And also handed a wide open transfer portal, an extra covid year for valuable players, and unlimited signees
