“LSU landed a big-name coach, but not a big-game coach.”

This states it all:

quote:

LSU hired a coach who’s 0-2 against Saban with a margin of defeat of 73-28; 0-2 against Smart; 1-3 against Clemson’s Dabo Swinney; 0-1 in home games against Cincinnati’s Luke Fickell; 3-5 against Michigan; and 0-5 in New Year’s Six-level bowl games, plus a BCS national championship.

LSU fans probably remember Kelly from Notre Dame’s 21-17 triumph over the Tigers in the Citrus Bowl to cap the 2017 season.

That ranks as the most impressive bowl victory of Kelly’s career.

Here’s how Kelly fared while at Cincinnati and Notre Dame in his biggest postseason games:

Orange Bowl (2008 season): Virginia Tech 20, Cincinnati 7

BCS National Championship Game (2012 season): Alabama 42, Notre Dame 14

Fiesta Bowl (2015 season): Ohio State 44, Notre Dame 28

Cotton Bowl (2018 season): Clemson 30, Notre Dame 3

Rose Bowl (2020 season): Alabama 31, Notre Dame 14

LSU landed a big-name coach, but not a big-game coach.

Agreed. I think he will do well with the talent he recruits at LSU.

Why do standards drastically change from coaching candidate to coaching candidate?

I think comparing what a coach did somewhere else under a microscope is bullshite.

Bottom line is Kelly was successful, very successful everywhere he went.

I’ve stated all day that Kelly will regularly win 9-10 games per year and the SEC every now and then. But why in the world people think he will win them Nattys is beyond me.

He has had better talent against many of those teams and STILL LOST.

If history is an indicator, that revisit will take place on the Coaches Changing Board.
