re: Not a BK fan but...............(opinion rant)

Not a BK fan but he has the most
Wins of any active coach. He also rehabbed 4 programs. He is good at fixing broken programs.

Will you still be saying that 2 years from now when he has yet to even make the CFP?

If we haven't made a CFP 2 years from now this is a completely different conversation. We play in by far the best league in the country. Winning is really hard. Kelly inherited a terrible situation. If I told any of you after the last 2 O seasons that our next coach would go 19-7 in his first 2 seasons every single person would have taken that.

I’m tired of people making bullshite excuses for BK’s inability to win anything big. It’s been 3 years and yet people are still defending him.

---

If Kelly was struggling in recruiting I might could get on board but he's clearly building something. His first class was thrown together and average but his next 2 were really good and this next one will be the best of the bunch. Building prolonged success takes time. Nobody outside of Saban took over a weak program and turned it into a national contender in less than 3/4 years.

If he had hired a competent DC

were you saying that after year 1? same DC mind you, on a D that actually bailed out the future heisman winner of some games.

that 1st year team is why i like the way BK is doing it. he had no choice but to hit the portal, and he hit some homerun guys, that left right after that. the next year, big misses, and all of a sudden the D sucked. same coaches.....and no i am not campaigning for House at all....just saying that the talent level from the portal year 1 was a good hit, and in year 2 it wasn't.

if you don't think we are talent deficient on the DL, on the back end, and even at RB, not sure who you think would be STARTERS from our team on other quality SEC teams......but the classes he's recruited are starting as freshman and sophomores now. we need talent and depth, and he's building it with guys who want to come here, not paid mercenaries.

As a run block...definitely
Pass Block...They're doing a great job keeping Nuss clean

unrealistic expectations

This pretty much sums up every fanbase. Sums up our society TBH.

Winning the conference every year is an unrealistic expectation. However, making the college football playoff in year three when it has expanded to 12 freaking teams is NOT UNREALISTIC. He needs to start chewing some arse and get it done. It starts next Sat vs Bama.

Leave no stone unturned. Get with Sloan and Brad Davis & tell them to try different run blocking schemes (pulling guards, h backs etc to aid in opening holes). Tell Sloan to put in some jet sweeps to Anderson and Thomas to get our speed the ball in open space.

Work with Nuss on the importance of throwing the ball away if nobody is open or tucking it and running then sliding. Tell Baker to have a d-end crash the QB every single time on the read option. Tell Slade Nagle to get out of the booth and onto the field to coach the spec teams (maybe go after a punt...practice long snapping).

I want him to succeed. Let's go.
