He is doing a lot better than the other candidates that some of us wanted

Lincoln Riley and Billy Napier.

I would argue the only coach that we seriously wanted and would have come here that has done better in Lane Kiffin

He walked in an immediately saved our program. Two great seasons for a program headed towards having a 5 win season is worthy of an A.

It's his program now so it will be interesting to see the next 3-4 seasons

I think you have to rate this over the course of his 10 year contract.

Back to back 10 win seasons his first two years here and gets to the conference championship with a depleted team = A+

Still losing 3 games a year in his 7th season = C-

While I've had frustration with some things this season, the perception of BK's resume since coming to LSU compared to other coaches is frickING WILD. Freeze, Napier, Riley, Norvell, Freeman, Cristobal etc. Literally none of these people are on par with what Kelly has done in his first two years compared to theirs. He's potentially going to have back to back 10 win seasons coming out of the best division in college football and people want to talk like he's failing. It's actually crazy and clearly is skewed because some don't like him personally. Take any other coach at any other program and having this start would be seen as incredibly positive. But somehow BK is talked about like the guy is borderline on the hot seat. So fricking stupid.


lol I just posted the same sentiment in a different thread

The level of hypocrisy by our fanbase is insane. They look at other coaches and see context and have patience with less success. With our own guy you would think he’s gone 6-6 in back to years after inheriting a loaded roster.

It’s nuts

If you want my honest opinion, I think he’s not a good coach.


I don’t see how you can look at his incredibly long track record and argue he’s anything other than a great coach. The results speak for themselves.

In other words, you cannot have the results he has over his career without being a great coach.

It has to be if there’s a playoff

Before that, it would have been an A

A but he better fire House or my view of him will sour. I don’t blame him for taking his time and doing it professionally, but you cannot field that defense and survive.

for 100 million dollars the amount of scrutiny he is getting is just not fair

now if it was 200 million dollars, it would be fair

A -

He inherited a garbage situation with Malik playing Qb in our bowl game. He beat bama year 1 and could (should ) have a Heisman in year 2. There isn’t a better ceo of a program available. Who else has rehabbed 4 programs ?
1. Nd
2. Grand valley.
3. Cincinattti
4. Central Michigan
