Brian Kelly showered with praise after LSU torched Ole Miss
Brian Kelly’s LSU tenure got off to a rocky start with the opening week 24-23 heartbreaking loss to Florida State, but that’s well in the past.
In fact, Kelly’s coaching job has been quite spectacular during his first season in Baton Rouge. The Tigers upset No. 7 Ole Miss 45-20 Saturday in Tiger Stadium to improve to 6-2 on the season.
Yes, LSU always has talent, but Kelly inherited a program in disarray. To see how far it has come in such a short time has been very impressive to watch. That’s SEC Coach of the Year potential. Of course, there’s a lot of season left, with games against Alabama, Arkansas and Texas A&M.
The Tigers staff, led by Kelly, has been very good at making second half adjustments and playing to the team’s strengths.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels is playing his best football right now in the peak of the season. The LSU signal caller finished with a combined 5 touchdowns — 2 passing and 3 rushing — against Ole Miss’ defense.
College football fans are starting to take note, too, of Kelly’s impressive coaching job.
It might be ugly at times, but given the injuries up front you have to be impressed with what Brian Kelly is doing at LSU.
Somehow that team just keeps fighting. Missed some opportunities, of course, but shaping up to be a really solid Year 1.

Listen I’ll be the first to say it. Brian Kelly is doing a good job. The wins are good yeah, but the way they have turned this offense around is impressive in of itself

Brian Kelly’s LSU has found its form. Pragmatic football coach, not a Miles or O, but will win ball games

People can say LSU sucks or is not the same team as past years but Brian Kelly is keeping this team motivated each week and this team has come a long way since the first game. They probably won’t go to a NY6 but LSU is a team I wouldn’t want to play right now. Especially in BR
