re: LSU players discuss what's different between being coached by Brian Kelly, Ed Orgeron

I am guessing Kelly came to LSU at the right time to continue that path of winning a championship at LSU. I do not believe that because I am looking at all other teams that have a much better chance to get into the playoff than LSU with all those tough SEC teams. Yes, LSU will be good but so will many other teams and while playing at a much lesser conference like ND (independent), USC, OSU, Clemson, Texas, and OU and maybe a few others.

I'm not sure what you're arguing here. It's to Kelly's credit that he left a Blueblood ND program to hop into the slaughterhouse of the SEC West. Says he's got a lot of confidence in his ability to run a championship program.

As for Freeman, he's an unknown. And early recruiting hints aren't very useful in predicting his ultimate success. It's just a partial picture of one slice of a HC's role. We at LSU, and our players, were all happy to have Mike Archer elevated from DC to HC in 1987, but the guy couldn't run a program.
