The Advocate When Kelly arrived, all he heard about the fifth-year linebacker (Baskerville) was that he didn’t go to class. Kelly raised academic expectations around the LSU program, and for Baskerville to get on the field, he needed to meet them.

It was a process. Baskerville, a two-year starter had to work his way back up the depth chart…has become one of the Tigers most productive players, Baskerville now leads no.6 LSU with 63 tackles


TTT - Sure Kelly is LSU’s $100 million dollar coach, but he sure seems to earn every penny, Kelly now has LSU players winning on and off the field in a very short period of time.

Arriving at LSU, Kelly made his priorities very clear, it’s all about success of the players but not just in football. If you’re trying to find something to hate about this LSU coach, you will be looking for a very long time!

It's nice having an adult as a coach and not a wanna be frat brother. The kids will benefit in the long term.....

He made Grand Valley a national power, won at Central Michigan, made Cincinnati the program it is today, Notre Dame finally became a consitient top 10 team since Holtz under Kelly. He's a winner and We're in for a fun ride.

Exactly. He's instilling a new culture in Baton Rouge. I thought it would take longer but the players bought in immediately. He's all about team and culture. Instead of individual success and "This is how I can get you to the NFL in 3 years", it's about team success and "This is how I can help prepare you for the rest of your life."

You put the exact same post on tRant, too?

Gahwdahm - you are really needing attention that badly?
These are message boards! This is how you justify your self-worth?
Grow the frick up and put down the bong. At least go outside and breathe some fresh air.

The only attention I care about is for LSU’s head coach Kelly to be recognized for everything he’s getting done. For you to be butthurt about this seems to be more of a you needing attention over LSU’s Coach. There’s no other reason that makes sense.

You're saying that somehow CBK is not getting enough credit and you need to tell everybody what a good job he's doing?
bullshite. 95% of TD loves the guy, knows what a good job he's doing, and says so loud and clear on each of the boards.
Oh yeah - and I'm one of his biggest fans!

No wonder you check the prevailing wind before you post! Making sense on a keyboard ain't one of your strengths.
You put the exact same post on 2 different boards but I'm the one needing attention? Whatever you say.
I'll make you a deal - you stop digging and I'll stop throwing dirt back in the hole.

I'll stop if you will answer me this question honestly: How many times have you posted the same thread on different boards within 5 minutes of each other?

All of us thought this process would take longer, like 3 years.

LSU fans always complained in the past that our head coach didn’t manage LSU’s roster well, either we didn’t have a Dline or the next year an Oline or a QB. I don’t worry about management issues with Kelly, he’s going to Nail it!
