Remnants of Kelly's Offense Last Weekend
For all the complaining I've heard on here about Kelly's "vanilla" offense and regressing quarterbacks during his tenure, has anyone thought that maybe poaching Denbrock from Kelly was a bad idea? Denbrock and Kelly go way back, and I'm thinking their offensive success last year at LSU should be attributable to the level of skill player talent LSU can attract over Notre Dame. I think we can all agree Freeman is a terrible offensive coach, but I think it's in the pudding that he is terrible at hiring on the offensive side of the ball. He is also pretty bad at evaluating talent on offense if he thinks Riley Leonard is worth $1M based on his play at Duke.
It totally boggles my mind that a Matt Rhule reached out us when we didn't have a short list of coaches in 2021, and we ended up hiring the 4th best DC under Kelly as his replacement. I doubt we will be able to poach him from a rising program like Nebraska now...

great points, what about Fickell? Schwarbrick said he didnt have a short list or any list.

Fickell was interested
but unlike Kelly, he was too classy to bail on a program that was in championship contention in late November...
However, the golden nugget (Rhule) reached out to us, and we didn't bother to give him a sniff.
I knew somebody would somehow blame it on ...Kelly.

How did I blame this on Kelly
There is a lot of blame to go around. Had you actually read my post you'd see the blame lying on Denbrock, Freeman, Leonard, and Jack(ass) for not executing a national search in 2021.
OK, I admit to exaggerating. Can I take it back? Peace.

You mean when we abandoned Love/Pryce in favor of the pass? Yeah, 100% Kelly.
