Same can be said for Kirby though, who has he beat that he didn’t clearly have a talent advantage over?Can anyone pls explain to me why Brian Kelly is considered a great coach? If u go back and look up his games Bama in '22 is the only team he has beaten going back to Notre Dame that has equal or more talent. He only beats teams with less talent. I don't get why the media is so enamored by him. Pls and thank u. GO VOLS
He was pretty good, maybe never elite. I know whatever excitement i had for Butch was falsely given to him because i hoped he would be as good as Kelly. Being at Notre Dame as long as he was was a bad move on his part. Brian Kelly at LSU 6 or 7 years ago for sure wins a title or two. He just waited to long to make a move. Or maybe not, what do i know.He’s decent that’s all he ever was. He just didn’t play anyone consistently until he got to lsu.
Ed Orgeron was able to win a title there. I don't know of any school that can claim the previous three coaches all won a national title there. Maybe OSU.He was pretty good, maybe never elite.

That'd be an interesting little research project. Ohio St cannot claim that (even if you disregard Luke Fickell's one-year interim stint). John Cooper didn't win a title.Ed Orgeron was able to win a title there. I don't know of any school that can claim the previous three coaches all won a national title there. Maybe OSU.
I went to go see Alabama coaches and holy hell Jennings Whitworth, what the **** were you doing for 3 years!?!?! 4-24-2??? AT ALABAMA?!?!?!!
FSU with Bobby Bowden and JimboFound another...Michigan. Harry Kipke, Fritz Crisler, and Bennie Oosterbaan won a total of 5 titles from 1929 to 1958.
Hell, not only is it difficult to find 3 in a row...it's hard to find just 2.
Notre Dame has 2 in a row (Parseghian/Devine) and 3 out of 4 (Holtz)
Alabama has 2 in a row (Wade/Thomas) and 3 out of 5 (Bryant)
USC has 2 in a row (McKay/Robinson)
Notable: Ohio St and Oklahoma have never even had 2 in a row. Also, on a technicality Minnesota had 2 out of 3 head coaches win titles. Bernie Bierman won 5 national titles. He had a replacement who didn't win one, then Bierman returned. He had another replacement who didn't win one, and then the guy who replaced him (Murray Warmath) won a title. So technically they had a run where 2 out of 3 of those coaches won titles.
Not counting their current coach who is current in his first season, they've had:While a lower level, NDSU might be worth looking into.
Coaches take bigger jobs but they just keep winning.
Yes. I live in Baton Rouge, and shake my head in disgust every time the local TV stations interview him. He just seems so fake, like everything he is saying is staged, calculated, used car salesman vibe.Apparently the LSU administration thought he was a great coach>>>>>salary.
I personally think he's an average coach but an above average jerk.
I'm quite happy he's in Baton Rouge...
