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

B-. He had to rebuild the roster. But there are so many scheme/coaching issues . It’s been a fun two years though if you just view it as a random snapshot .

It regardless is not a word

B+

Polian, ATM game last year, Ole Miss this year, thin corps on defense, overall defensive line play, mediocre starts to the season, are detractors

Offensive Line build up, overall team build up, a steadying the ship process , recovery from 39 players left fiasco, got rid of some of the headache players, Daniels development are headlines.

He is 2-4 vs top 10 teams at lsu.

You thought Ed was a good coach and wanted to bench Daniels for Nussmeier. With all due respect your opinion is worth less than dogshit.

C+

A-

Would to like see better performance on the field in a few areas, recruiting is a slight concern and biggest concern is some of his assistant hires.

That said, the level of professionalism and gravitas he has brought to LSU compared to the last two dopes is night and day. He ain’t Saban, because he is the closest thing to him in college football.

This level of seriousness about our program will pay off big time over the next few years.

I agree with a B+

But beating Ole Miss wouldn’t push an A in my book.

To get an A he would have had to do 1 of 2 things.

1.) had LSU ready to play a second half against FSU. Instead they came out of half like they already had the game won.

2.) interjected during the Alabama game and FORCED Matt House to put Perkins on Milroe as a spy after half time, for the rest if the game. Why this wasn’t part of the game plan to begin the game, I’ll never know. Auburn kept Miliroe’s legs relatively quiet last night with a spy and had the game won with 40 seconds left. Perkins at spy is how LSU beat Arkansas LAST year, so we know he’s effective as a spy.

These two things would have brought him “from good, to great” in my book.

With that said, future is LSU football is bright with BK as the coach…
And BYE BYE MATT HOUSE!!!!

While I've had frustration with some things this season, the perception of BK's resume since coming to LSU compared to other coaches is frickING WILD.

Freeze, Napier, Riley, Norvell, Freeman, Cristobal etc.

Literally none of these people are on par with what Kelly has done in his first two years compared to theirs.

He's potentially going to have back to back 10 win seasons coming out of the best division in college football and people want to talk like he's failing. It's actually crazy and clearly is skewed because some don't like him personally.

Take any other coach at any other program and having this start would be seen as incredibly positive.

But somehow BK is talked about like the guy is borderline on the hot seat.

So fricking stupid.

Finally a rational astute observation. 70% of this board doesn't have a clue about football and how good BK is. All they ever know is FIRE FIRE FIRE. Like vultures they are now circling House like they circled Ensminger when he was at LSU. Ensminger made fools of em and I believe House will to. If BK runs him off then I will agree with the vultures.

That 70% doesn't deserve a coach like BK.
