Unlike some fans I thought Kelly did a really good job getting to a National Championship game & 2 playoffs. Freeman would have to be an elite recruiter to get to that level. Alabama & Georgia just get to many 5 Stars every year to compete at that level. Harbaugh did a hell of a job building his program but Freeman is a first time head coach. Just getting to the playoffs will probably be his ceiling. Going into next year he still won't have a QB with experience. That's an uphill battle for any coach.
