re: How would you grade Brian Kelly’s tenure so far?

Look at the seasons of what you thought they would be.

2022 - I felt like that team had a ceiling of 8 wins, with the situation they were in. We got lucky wins in the Auburn / Arkansas games, and the we split Bama / A&M to go 9-3. Jayden covered up so much.

2023 - I thought the team would go 10-2, losing to FSU and Bama, however I thought Bama would be worse and drop a few more games and we would win the west. It's that fricking Ole Miss game.

Honestly the Ole Miss loss this year is the worst of the Kelly era so far. All the other losses (even A&M 22 because that was a more talented team) don't really bother me so much considering where we were.

B+ for. He's had ALMOST the same start as Les did but a FAR less talented roster. Les got so fricking lucky game after game.
