No, he seems more like a love child of Fran and Bret B.
The real test for him will be very fast. Can he close on some of these recruits that are leaning away from LSU right now? If he can get the talent then he passes the first test. If he can't and makes excuses while LSU ends up with a Class well outside the Top 10 then that's a warning sign.
I think way too many LSU fans are just assuming anyone can walk in and kill it in recruiting at LSU and that isn't the case. Coach O, Miles, and Saban were all great recruiters that got very personally involved. That's my biggest red flag on Kelly. If he can show that he can come in and beat out Saban and Jimbo and Kirby and land those guys then he's going to be a real threat. Of course that is just step 1.
