Comparing Kelly to Saban (even when he first came to LSU)

People that keep trying to say things like Saban came from the midwest and north and so why shouldn't Kelly succeed really need to take a step back with this comparison.

Saban was not normal and cannot really be compared to many other coaches. Much like MJ was in the NBA, he wasn't just great naturally; he was great because, whether he was the most talented or least talented in the room, he was never going to be outworked. The guy was relentless and that is what separated him from others. Now, think back to his first year's at LSU and he was a young up and comer trying to prove himself.

That is nothing like Kelly right now when he came to LSU. Kelly came to LSU as a retirement plan with hopes that he would win a title, but puts in not even half the work effort if not even less than Saban would have put. Saban would not be out golfing the day after a game, especially not after they just lost. Kelly, on the other hand had no problem doing that after the Ole Miss loss.

That doesn't mean Kelly is not a good coach, but the guy is nothing close to Saban in any way, shape or form.

Les was also a guy that put it all out there. He had his stupid moments and his stubborness, but nobody was questioning his effort from 2005 - 2014.

Kelly simply is not that. I really think he thought LSU would recruit itself and that he would now just be able to out talent teams he struggled to beat while at ND. In reality, he's simply not the guy putting in the effort, and you see if watching the games. It's not about yelling at players (Saban/Muschamp/Kirby) every play. It's not about running around and being a hype guy all game, but actually showing you care and are involved throughout the game outside of when some major screw up happens would go a long way to make fans think you give a shite.
