Brian Kelly reminds me a lot of Mark Richt

The maddening thing about Richt was his teams ability to play up or down to the level of competition which would invariably cost us a game or two every year. At other times his teams could come out flat and completely bomb a game they never should have lost. It was maddening to be a fan. You just never knew which team was gonna show up: the manic or the depressive.
That's what I saw last year with BK and the LSU Tigers. They absolutely bombed the Tennessee game, survived the Arkansas game, BEAT Bama only to get steamrolled by Texas A&M. It was a prototypical Mark Richt season.
I realize this opinion is solely based on Kelly's first year in the SEC and that could very well explain a lot, if not all of this. I'm looking forward to watching LSU play this year and determining whether this is a one off or something that will become a defining characteristic. I guess time will tell.

I kind of get those vibes from Josh Heupel.

As an LSU fan I’m supposed to vehemently disagree.
There’s room for your argument.
But I still do t think y ou can use a sample size of one year.
Kelly is different than Richt.

It being Kelly’s first year in the SEC explains less than the lack of depth on our team. People forget the deficit on our roster that still somewhat exists. What he did with that roster was pretty damn fantastic.

That A&M game was a head scratcher. To lose is one thing but they had zero answers for anything A&M was doing.
kelly did the same thing at ND though.

You are correct. He's Mark Richt with ND talent. Hell Ed O, and Les Miles were litterally dummer than any other coaches in the history of the program yet still managed to each win National titles...
Ed left the program in what most would call death penalty scenario. Yet in his first year BK was able to defeat Nick... I'd say lets see this play out, and my guess is that your rediculous comparion will shite the bed...

Richt never went 4-8 with a top 10 roster.

I don't see that at all.

I don't think Mark Richt ever participated in the killing of a teams videographer, he is a bald face liar,
“It was a beautiful day,” the investigator quoted Kelly as saying. “It was 68 degrees and I remember looking up 11:54 a.m. and the wind was 22 miles per hour.”
Kelly told the investigator that it was a normal practice before the wind gust hit, but videos taken by Sullivan and others show coaches’ jackets and pants “blowing and whipping” in the wind and the goal posts moving, according to the state investigator.
He is a good coach, maybe not such a good person though, so he is not like coach Richt, who was a good coach and a TREMENDOUSLY awesome individual.

Kelly also has far more games coached and still has a higher winning % than Mark R.

Logic and facts will get you nowhere on this forum.

Cool, doesn't change the fact that he went 4-8 with a top 10 roster.

One year comparison after Kelly was handed 39 scholarship players when he got here and still pulled off the West and 10 wins? Richt would never pull that off. This season should have been a warning to all of you. The guy is fricking legit.

A "better" coach doesn't have multiple winless seasons at ND.
