re: Brian Kelly - taking the next step

I agree with you I think he did a pretty good job last year and that he’s not the only person to blame for this year’s struggles. But, if you’re BK and you’re going to preach being “elite” retaining a guy whose defensive unit was HISTORICALLY terrible, then he’s contradicting himself. I just thought his lack of adjustments this year were truly astounding at times.

House in year one is the only reason we won the number of games we did. House in year two isn't the only reason we're not in the CFB. We had lots of injuries. CBK is choosing to remember the year one version for year three. On paper, House looks like a good guy for the job.

I don’t necessarily disagree with this. But House didn’t do himself any favors this year with his lack of adjustments, not finding a way to use Perkins, playing guys like speights, awful game planning etc.

My concern for the future is that house and BK haven’t really been able to reel in big recruits to help. If you’re unable to recruit, it doesn’t matter who you have coaching.

He’s not helping with recruiting, at all

Needs to go

In year 1 he let Harold Perkins be Harold Perkins

In year 2 he handcuffed him and almost made him irrelevant.

That is more than enough proof House is in over his head, not to mention his recruiting is subpar

Daniels is the answer both years.

House’s year 1 defense was not very good. It just wasn’t a dumpster fire yet.

Eh, part of the reason, JD wasn't what is now but he carried the team in a few games as well. However, House was reasonably good, and had this year's defense been as good as last year LSU may be playing in Atlanta this weekend.
