You are right, but he either "let" it happen or lucked into it



Never said otherwise.

Kelly would be too hands on to let either of those things happen, so its not likely that Kelly would have the same results


This is an unprovable claim. The only facts we have is a garbage coach was able to have one of if not the best seasons in the history of the sport. There is no logical argument to say BK could not achieve the same result if you switched him and O for that year and kept everything else the same.

Interesting thought experiment. Whattaya Ol Boys think?



With the 2019 coaching staff, LSU does about the same.

With this staff, I am not sure, but I doubt they do as well. They may still win the Natty, though.

BK would have lost on the road to Texas (he can't beat ranked teams on the road) and Bama, minimum. Then likely another loss so I would go with Auburn or Florida. LSU is out of the playoff hunt and the GOAT Team is out.

Pretty easy.

With that staff and Brady and Burrow all O had to do was stay out of the way. I could have coached them to a natty.

O lost to Troy. 2019's roster would make anyone look good, as it did for O

Have you ever seen a Kelly coached LSU team come out in the first half on the road and the lay the wood to a great opponent like LSU did to Alabama in 2019? Remind me if I am forgetting something.

do you think our current problem is because Kelly is too hands on or because he made some mistakes in player evaluations and the Sloan hire?

Because he hasn't won the Powerball like O did Literally anyone could have been the HC and won in 2019


I trust Burrow more than I trust a Fan.
He said O recruited him.
O's staff also recruited Nabers, Thomas, Boutte.
His O Line and D Line performed until Woody started hiring coaches. Then it turned to shite.

Yea, O was so fricking great on his own, it was Woody holding him back

Except Evidence. How many years did Kelly have to prove he was not capable?
How many National Championships did he win,

Like a drowning man in the Ocean, you would grab the nearest straw.

I've been listening to LSU on Radio, then watching LSU on TV, since Dietzel. I am well aware of the pain of watching LSU get drug around the field by Alabama and such.
When a Coach shows up and builds a Team, greatest in the history of the NCAA, I'm Thankful.
I don't care how he did it.
How many National Championships have Woody's teams won? He has been an AD for over a decade. (About 18 Yrs)
How many has Kelly won? Both those guys have been at the top of their profession for over a decade. If O is so stupid, and those guys are so competent, what's the problem? He awarded two incompetent twits, according to the mob) millions of dollars in contracts. One Red FacedTwit was given 100 million.
If I were betting I would bet he will never be AD over another football Championship.

2019 Coaching Staff would not work with BK.

He'd try to dominate and overrule Brady and Ensminger; he WOULDN'T STEP BACK AND LET THEM RUN "Da Joe Brady Offense."

At least Shrimpy backed off and was a good little cheerleader running up and down the sidelines clapping his hands and staying out of the way.

O let OC Ensminger PGC Brady and DC Aranda, do their thing with all the Athletes. (Special Thanks to Safety Coach Bill Busch for abducting Burrow out of Ohio. )
