Nay Nay I say!!!! Look I know a lot of people on here are knocking the Deboer hire and that’s fine because Coach Deboer will get a chance to prove himself next season.

What I don’t understand is how some LSU fans are knocking on Deboer so hard but when you put both his and BK career records side by side and compare you see that both coaches took a very similar path to get where they are today. The big difference is Deboer has a lot more hardware in his trophy case than BK does. So I don’t understand why some are banging on Deboer for being a bad hire and then praise BK for being a great coach. It doesn’t compute considering Deboer has something right now BK does not and that is a conference championship and a trip to the CFP title game.

Better to have hardware in the case than junk in the trunk.

Not really.

They have both won natties at the division II level, both have won conference championships at lower tier conferences (DeBoer at the Pac12 and Kelly in the Big East).

The biggest difference is DeBoer has a playoff win, and that's as much about matchup as anything.

DeBoer faced 3 seed, 1 loss Texas who had a terrible pass defense and it was a great matchup for Washington.

Kelly faced 2 seed 2018 Clemson and 1 seed 2020 Alabama, two teams that no one else beat either. 2018 Clemson beat Saban just as bad they did Kelly.
