Didn't look like most good coaches who are plotting how to get back into a game via strategy or motivation, but rather a coach who knew the end of the story, had no answers and just accepted it.
I'm convinced that the only way we will ever win a title with Kelly is if we have a significant talent advantage over the teams we face in the playoff, because he's not going to out coach them. He needs to follow the same model as Clemson did (in going from mediocre also ran, to one of the two most elite, talent stocked teams in the land) to have a shot at that, but I'm not sure Kelly has the ability to pull it off...he needs to win 10+ games every year for multiple (5, 6, 7) straight years with no drop off seasons, which will attract more and more talent until we have the horses where he doesn't have to out coach them, he just needs to not shit to bed against them.
I don't think he has that in him, but at least for the first time since he's been here he's taken the first baby step in that direction with back to back 10+ win seasons...all he has to do now is keep it going, but personally I'm expecting the next couple years to be his obligatory 8 and 9 win seasons with mediocre bowl win/ close bowl loss to an above average team.
Prove me wrong Kelly... please!.!.!
