Maybe...just maybe...Rees demonstrated to Kelly that he has the skill set to take this offense to the next level.
And I never understood this thing that the administration does not covet a national championship for football. Over at NDN, which I check periodically more for laughs, in one breath they will say Swarbrick doesn't care, and in the next they point out how he told Kelly to make wholesale improvements to the coaching staff. They (and you) then defend this by saying "10 wins is the new standard." I certainly never get that impression. A recognition of progress the last three years doesn't necessarily equal satisfaction.
