Or him beating the tar out of Jameis and FSU. Another fair view of how good Chip is. Despite much less talent.

Technically this was with Helfrich at the helm. But it was with Kelly's players and his system just one year after he left, so really he should get a good deal of the credit and your point still stands. We saw what happened a couple years after Kelly was no longer running things there.

I am interested to see how his system translates to the SEC, and how he tweaks or changes it based on the personnel he is able to get. One of his problems at Oregon was that they would sometimes get manhandled up front against bigger more physical teams from the SEC and then Ohio St in 2014. If he can recruit some studs on the DL and OL, which he should be able to at FLA, I don't see why his system can't be successful in the SEC.

I think Kelly is homerun hire for FLA and good for the overall quality of the conference. Although FLA could be a real nightmare to deal with in a couple of years.
