Personally I just don’t think it’s ever come together at the right place for him before lsu and this season he happened to have a defense that made a championship impossible .

I don’t mean this as a shot at LSU, but I don’t think the fans were realistic about how bad that roster was he inherited from O and because of the Bama win it was glossed over.

It wasn’t even just the year one starters who in many cases wouldn’t have seen the field for past LSU teams, it was the blackhole from a depth perspective behind them and the utter lack of defensive talent to work with.

That was the worst LSU defense I’ve ever seen and it wasn’t just House (who admittedly wasn’t great). They were untalented, young and lacked depth.

I thought Kelly did an incredible job evolving the team into some B12 type “it’s ok if you score 40 because we are gonna score 50” team because he’s never in his career done that.

He also took what I thought was a mid tier at best QB in Daniels and won him a Heisman, that’s development most coaches aren’t capable of.
