I will say it again. Regardless of what anyone thinks of his ability to coach on the field, this is exactly what LSU needed after what Orgeron left. Forget the "cultural fit" bullshite that people try to spew. The guy knows how to build a program, how to teach people to be professional at every level and approach every day with a mindset to be accountable and productive. People really underestimate how badly LSU was missing that when he took over.

Yup, Orgeron decimated the program and his off-field antics were a serious problem. On top of that, he had no idea how to successfully manage and navigate NIL.

It gets downvoted to oblivion here, but it can never be overstated just how bad things were when Kelly took over. To get LSU back to back 10 win seasons coming off of that is stunning.

Now that things are stabilized, and the staff has been re-tooled with fantastic recruiters…
