re: Apparently all tRant fans are genuinely happy (satisfied) with the LSU hire!..Go figure.

Kelly is a good coach. But everyone in the SECW has a good coach, so nothing is really changing as far as the West landscape is concerned. Not sure why LSU fans think he's such a game changer or why other fans think he's a subpar hire. Anyone who thinks either is probably just a troll.

You can't blame LSU fans for being excited.

Look, here's the thing that posters either forget or don't want to acknowledge. Kelly went 4-8 in 2016. What did he do then? Fired people. Made changes. Then goes 10-3, 12-1, 11-2, 10-2, 11-1, with two CFP appearances, and could have had a 3rd this year if he'd stayed. Most posters would give their left nut to have a head coach who would pull the trigger on assistants like that and could engineer that kind of turnaround.

Now all that having been said, are Bama fans concerned? Of course not. Short of someone hiring Belichick, Bama fans aren't going to worry about anyone else's hire. And everyone else in the West is happy with their coaches, for the most part. Everyone else in the division has some reason to feel good about their coaches. But all probably have a grudging respect for LSU's hire, whether they admit it or not.
