I don’t know that Kelly’s a terrible pick, though I agree the fit seems very strange. Honestly with all the comparisons talk, I’m a little surprised no ones mentioned him as their version only Mullen. Not a bad coach but certainly not the fan favorite after the big names they’d already penciled in. Not known as a great recruiter but with some justification given where they were. Consistently flame out in pressure situations, even having a losing season fairly recently. Oh, and generally speaking, nobody likes them.
Yep, this is Stricklin 2017 for them.
