re: Most overrated football coach in the SEC
Posted by thunderbird1100 on 4/23/24 at 1:54 pm
[quote]Like you said, typical turnover puts you around 60.
LSU was closer to 40.
That's 20 more true freshman or transfers you're relying on than the typical team.
20 more players that are new to your program.[/quote]
I dont understand why this is a difficult concept for him to grasp. Th...

[quote]No, the entire point is you are exaggerating the number of scholarship players by about 30 to paint a false picture on the difficulties he faced.

Nobody is exaggerating anything, the fact is we had 38 players dressed for the bowl game, in total we had in the low 40s of scholarshi...

[quote]Why do you need to exaggerate the numbers? The real number for LSU was in the 70s. So why don't you explain the difference between 40 and 70 to me.

[quote]Dropping down to 60 every year is the default technically. However nobody ever counts it like that because they go ahead and count the next years recruits/transfers. Yet for some reason you aren't.

Are you failing to realize the difference between 40 and 60 here or does that need...

[quote]Scholarship numbers aren't as meaningful as they use to be really. Not since the transfer portal.
Back in the day it hurt a lot because you would have to develop your players over years. So if you lose scholarships/players, that's going to set you back a good bit in the future because you ...

[quote]You were not down to 39.[/quote]
We were at like 70 true (non walk on awarded) scholarship players for 2022 after adding [b]30[/b] from high school/portal. The high school class was only 15 guys and 1 of those was a kicker.
There were very few players he was able to convince to stay her...

[quote]Tons of talent leaves every year, that's college football. The transfer portal works both ways.
If you aren't using all your scholarships, that's just Brian Kelly being a bad coach. You grab some 3 stars who are "projects" if nothing else.[/quote]
We had 39 players on scholarship when h...

Using end of season rankings, which again nobody ever uses when citing Kelly's record against Top 25 teams or Top 10 teams.
Always moving the goalposts. Just saying.

[quote]They went .500 because Coach O was more worried about getting his dick wet than coaching, not because LSU was lacking on talent.
2020: #4
2021: #5
2022: #12[/quote]
Do you not see the huge dropoff there in 2022? We had a ton of talent leave after O left, and frankly a lot of them eith...

Yeah and he's NOT considered a 1st rounder, meaning, there's a chance he could improve and stand to still make a lot more money as a 1st rounder with another season.

Bech is a good player, we are just stacked here at WR which probably a good idea he left. I think he will have a big season there this season, was really gimped by injury last year. We saw what he was capable of his freshman year here, he can play....
