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.

I mean the talking point around here for years is that with Louisiana talent, any schmuck off the street could win 9-10 games at LSU.

Excellent post and what I was fishing for.
LSU was dead in the water and he patched together success.
Next year won’t be anything epic but I’m hoping it sets us up for a huge year 4. Half the base will squeal like pigs when we go 9-4 but we will get everyone back and be deep.
I’m excited and anxious about the off season. We are close to being elite again but we need to replace our entire defensive staff. None of them are LSU material

Thanks for being the logical voice to some joke of fans we have. Be thankful for BK, we could have been USC, lol.

Great observation on Kelly vs this group. I also agree he gets a B for the hand he was given but he has got to make some homerun defensive hires. Kelly is 12-4 in the SEC in 2 years. That is 3rd behind Saban and Smart with alot less talent. Really need to get some playmakers on defense to build around some good young players but house has got to go and a the db coach as well.

Norvell
Is 2-0 against Kelly and is on the verge of winning the ACC so I would say he is doing better than Kelly on year 2

I think it is, to this point, a mismatch between expectations and results. Next year's defense may be worse if that is possible. Certainly no reason to expect it to be significantly better.
What will the offense be like. Doubt the QB production is near what it was this year. Running game may be better, but the receivers will be less productive. In the absense of a real step up by the defense, it seems unlikely that there will be 10 wins next season.

lol I just posted the same sentiment in a different thread
The level of hypocrisy by our fanbase is insane. They look at other coaches and see context and have patience with less success. With our own guy you would think he’s gone 6-6 in back to years after inheriting a loaded roster.
It’s nuts
