re: Would Chip Kelly be a good fit in Baton Rouge?

I said it once and I'll say it again: No. Being a HC is much more than coming in and putting out a sexy offense. Personality plays a lot in this too and Kelly is the last guy who would fit Baton Rouge. He'd lose his locker room too as he's not a very likable coach as you saw at Eagles and he was starting to have problems in Oregon his last years there. He's a good coach but if the players don't like you and you can't relate to them they're not going to play for you. See how San Francisco went full retard and got rid a VERY good coach in Harbaugh who not only made Stanford a powerhouse but achieved more in first few years in the NFL than any other coach ever. They ran him out because players didn't want to play for him. Kelly would have a similar problem here eventually.

You don't just look at a coach and say he's great on paper I think he can win here! You have to analyze everything. Does he fit into the culture of Baton Rouge? Does he have the personality the players will respect? Will the alumni/boosters like him? How good can he recruit and fit in with Southern culture where he'll be doing the majority of his recruiting? A lot more goes into it than you think. The only person I can honestly say makes the most sense to come to Baton Rouge on everything is Jimbo Fisher. That's without even knowing for sure he could come in and do well in the SEC.
