No context?

I mean, He has had 31 winning seasons in 33 years of coaching.

Cincinnati hadn't had a 10-win season since 1949 (the only one in their history) when he had one in his first year there and they finished ranked for the first time in 30 years. He then won 11 games in year 2 and went 12-0 in year 3 before leaving for ND (and Cincy finished ranked #4 in the nation). He put Cincy on the map.

ND had just two 10-win seasons in the previous 19 years before Kelly won 12 games and played in the national title game in 2012. He is on his 7th 10+ win season in 12 years there now.

ND didn't have a top 5 finish in 19 years until he had one in 2012. He could finish with his 4th top 5 finish in 12 seasons this year which included the NC Game appearance and two other playoff appearances. He made ND relevant again when they sucked for 2 decades basically.

As for LSU, we were coming off two bad seasons and only had 37 scholarship players. BK has had to build through the portal in the short term. In two years since his arrival, he has won the West (beating EVERY team in it at some point in the last two seasons), AND brought in a HEISMAN winning QB. He is also on the verge of back to back 10 win seasons…using leftovers from O, and transfers.

How is the above not acceptable at this point?
