Agree. Kelly's success level should be considered median outcome from a competent hire and the ceiling should be national championship product (on-field and recruiting). We were so jaded from the string of Davie through Weis that we thought of Kelly as the best ND can do in modern era. Just a few months of MF shows that's not true (at least in recruiting).
I mean yeah, but the majority of the time it was closer to 15 than 10. And only twice above that (5 and 9)? Maybe I'm just being pedantic.
No worries man, I certainly understand the point you're making. In my original post I mentioned the previous 5 seasons, as in after the 2016 debacle when he sort of reinvented himself and overhauled the staff and built the momentum that MF is taking over.
Agreed on the splitting hairs. I'm relieved that you knew what I was getting at and it wasn't coming off as an annoyed back and forth, 'cause that wasn't at all how I was writing it. Cheers friend
I’ll go with 2, with the way he’s recruiting (in the heart of 5 star country at that)(he’s also not known for doing more with less), his never ending excuses at press conferences, his arrogance, his not very manly voice during halftime speeches.
You’ve seen Florida State play football in recent years?
I watched them nearly beat BK’s team last year.
It's going to be really difficult for LSU to lose 9 games. Their schedule is dog shit the first four weeks. My guess is they start off well and then get wrecked on the back half of their schedule. They'll win 6 or 7 games though. I'm not suggesting that's a good year but they'll win more than three games.
Seriously, he is the least inspirational pregame and halftime speaker I have ever seen. No real emotion or fire. It sounds so rehearsed and unmotivating.
Agreed. I always hated how Kelly had that "just another game" mentality. It showed in video clips for the game prep and his halftime speeches. Fact is, those games against those top teams aren't "just another game". You need to rise up and imprint that message. It was one of the reasons Holtz did so well against top teams. And then he built up the "just another game" teams so that he'd be able to have the team locked in. Hopefully Freeman gets these boys juiced for the big moments.
We shall see, they are certainly more than capable.
Kelly has a 10 year, $100 million contract.
Roll Tide! BK couldn't beat Bama while at ND, now he gets them every year. I don't remember ever rooting for Bama.
is Goolsby popular? I like the guy.
He does the Mike Goolsby show w/ Singer. Said what many where thinking about BK's recruiting at ND. I linked last show in state of recruiting class thread.
