All it takes is a look around college football landscape currently and in history to see the talent draw any team is that wins 10+ year in year out...sad thing is how many of Kelly's seasons 10 wins was there for the taking and imagining the difference in what our talent level/ depth would be right now if he just won the ones he shoulda: '10 (beat Navy and Tulsa = 10 wins), '11 (beat USF and a shitty michigan/or a shitty FSU in bowl = 10 wins), '13 (beat Pitt in game we controlled in 1st half while running ball and surrendered in 2nd half going Air Kelly = 10 wins), '14 (don't have epic meltdown after losing close to #2 FSU and lose only 2 of last 5 instead of 4 of last 5 = 10 wins)
Legitimately, every season he's been here except for '16 shoulda been a 10 win season and most likely, if he won the ones he shoulda from 10-15 his talent woulda prolly been much higher in '16 and we prolly win 10+ that year too...imagine the difference last years game vs Clemson woulda been if he was riding high on 9 straight 10+ win seasons with 'at least' one NC appearance in that span...? things coulda been very very different if he just won the ones he shoulda early on.
