I remember for years under Les we always lacked at OT. It's so nice to see us have 3 elite guys there all at once now.


Even crazier mostly homegrown too. Obviously Louisiana always has talent but for Kelly to come in with the OL class Louisiana produced like the haul we have is pretty rare

That is left our tackles... where we put the best we have every year... the rest of the lines under Les were a trainwreck most years, with poor coaching. We literally had starters quit after games and just never play again it was so bad.

Well Hawkins and Barksdale were both RT for a couple years before they were LT. Hurst was a good RT in 2011 who quit unexpectedly in 2012.

The issue really was scheme and interior line play.

Get what you’re saying but This is all about Kelly.
This is his forte and we will have a great offensive line as long as he is here.

Brian Kelly ain't crazy, he said keeping coach Brad Davis from the previous staff was a no brainer. We all can see why now.

No.

He didn't even play in the BCSCG.

We had PJ Lonergan.

He wasn't "NFL caliber" either.
