Brian Kelly says his time at LSU would have been easier if Freeman and Rees came along
On one hand, I can see how having Coach Freeman as the DC would have helped LSU, since Matt House's defenses were rather suspect, and it took a couple of years for Baker to get the defensive side of things in order.
I strongly doubt that Tommy Rees as his OC would have done better than what Mike Denbrock did. If anything, I suspect that Jayden Daniels wouldn't have exploded like he did in 2023.
Denbrock actually let Daniels toss that ball downfield, and with great results, and once he left, the offense at LSU fizzled out against the stronger opponents.

To no one's surprise, just another way of saying "It wasn't my fault."
"Get used to it".
…because Kelly isn’t a good coach and needs good assistants. But he’s so obnoxious, nobody wanted to
follow him. When Denbrock left, the dam broke., and Kelly could no longer lure anyone good enough to help given well earned rep.
