The people who don’t want him because he’s never coached in the south are the same people who wanted O because he was from here.

My only concern when Saban was hired was recruiting because of geography. Boy was I wrong. Turns out that having to recruit against tOSU and MI when you are the runt is pretty good education. I'll never make that mistake again- and we shouldn't now. Don't assume Kelly can't recruit. I know you didn't mention recruiting specifically, but I can't think of any other correlation to "coaching" and geography that it could be referring to. I'm saying this to the people here that would cite never being in the south as a limit of recruiting potential, not you specifically.

I'll add to your post with something I saw in another thread: Yes, we have a culture problem. I'm not talking about weed or any or disciplinary issue. I'm talking about team concepts, attitudes, and dedication to put in the work. Is Kelly the guy to fix that? Dunno. He seems to have a higher potential for that than several others we've considered (not named Aranda).
