What I doubt is that he is an elite coach who can win a national title at LSU


He won huge everywhere else he’s been and we know you can win an NC at LSU, so there really no reason to think that other than you just don’t want to see it happen.

You give the common LSU fan reply.

No one ever answers the follow up question, though.

How many years do you give Kelly to win a national championship. All "circumstances" aside, at what year do you say "he just isn't going to win one"?

It feels so automatic to LSU fans since Saban, miles, and orgeron.
It feels so automatic but none of them won a second at LSU.
Trust me (and the rest of college football). Winning the national championship isn't easy. It isn't automatic.

After year 1, how many more seasons does Kelly get before the fanbase says that he isn't a national championship caliber coach?

He's lost in the biggest games at all his other stops. All of his "big win" seasons have ended with a loss.

12-1 in 2012. Lost in championship game.
10-3 in 2015. Lost in Fiesta bowl.
12-1 in 2018. Lost in Cotton Bowl.
10-2 in 2020. Lost in Rose bowl.

His team also lost their Fiesta bowl in 2021, but he didn't coach that game.

He also lost the Orange bowl at Cincy in 2008.

The biggest bowl game win he's ever had is the Citrus bowl. He has gotten his team to a lot of big games (just like he got LSU to the SECCG this year). But he's lost all of them. That is plenty of reason to think he's not going to be able to win a national title at LSU.
