Is Brian Kelly just Les Miles without the fun?

I don’t think that is the case. I think Kelly is a pretty good coach. The last 3 head coaches at LSU, prior to Kelly, all won national titles. Odds are kelly likely gets one.
I hate how in this Twitter, sports radio and message board world now that we determine coaches (and players) are a success or failure after 1 game into their second season.

Hopefully karma or God will keep him from getting one
Yep. He could get one just like Miles did. Miles was just fine as a coach, just like Kelly. You can stumble into a title at a school like LSU as a pretty good but not great coach.
Yes. Do some research on Kelly's career. He has won big at every level. He will get it done there too. I do not like Kelly and his Yankee personality but it's a fact that he has dominated at every level of football
When you say “he will get it done,” define that and how it will be better than what Miles did.
Considering Les Miles has the highest winning percentage of any LSU coach since 1910, being "just another Les Miles" would be pretty damn good for Kelly.
Yep. He will do what Miles did and they will be ready to run him out of town in two years.
Kelly was 3-8 against opponents ranked in the top 10 at Notre Dame.
He will play at least 2 Top 10 teams this season (FSU & Bama) I suspect he will be 0-2.
Plenty of coaches won big at every level until they coached in the SEC.
I think they are legit but in recent years when we've thought they were back they always find a way to **** and fall back in it. They've had some bad losses over the last several years. We shall see what transpires but they were definitely the more physical team last night. If they keep that up they'll have a special season.
You may not realize it but ND wasn't his first head coaching job. ND can't recruit the same players LSU can in large part due to academic standards.
I think they said last night that Kelly is 3-10 against AP top 10. His NC is division II. He also seems to always lose the big games. Might just be perception. He sounds like a 12-year-old when he speaks.
Kelly didn't play any Top 10 teams while coaching Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati.
He could have played 1 Top 10 at Cincy but he would have got smoked by Tebow in the Sugar Bowl. He quit on his team before the bowl game to go to ND.
Top ten teams ? How do you win the championship game without playing a top ten team ? Different divisions ya know ? Grand Valley State wasn't FBS. That's why I said he has won at every level. 273 wins.
If Orgeron can get a title there then damn near anyone can.
