Kelly wins the West his first year. DeBoer takes Washington to the championship his second year.

Alabama hire has yet to do just about anything so it is impossible to rate them at this time.

Welcome to the SEC. WE have a place over there for you to sit.

It's right over there next to to that pig trough and the kids table.

DeBoer appeared in the championship in his second season at the P5 level.

Kelly did it in his third.

At LSU, Kelly took over a 6-6 team and went 9-3.

By that metric, DeBoer has to probably go 12-0.

Interestingly, DeBoer’s resume is almost identical to Kelly’s when he got the ND job.

Kelly also took Notre Dame to the NC.

Both are good hires. Kelly is the better one on paper. DeBoer might have more upside, but he’s a bigger risk.

DeBoer is 10-1 vs top 25

Kelly is 34-34 vs top 25

Does it piss you off that Bama went and got a coach who was just in the National championship, while A&M got a basketball school coach?

The only thing I like about DeBoer more than Kelly is the age. He is much younger and if he does pan out as a very good coach Bama could realistically keep him much longer than we would be able to keep Kelly. Other than that I think Kelly is the better hire.

Considering one hasn't coached a game as an SEC HC, I'd say it is too early to make that call.

But this thread will still get to 4+ pages.

Surely you can’t be dumb enough to believe PAC coaching success equals or exceeds SEC success.

How about we let Deboer have a couple of seasons in the SEC before we make comparisons?

DeBoer, Kelly is 63 and now the old man of the SEC.
Kelly doesn’t even look healthy.

Serious non trolling answer? I thought Kelly was a hell of a hire for LSU. I’m excited about DeBoer.

Too early to call. I am okay with DeB, would not want Kelly.
