On Monday, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and a few LSU players spoke at SEC Media Days in Atlanta.
Baton Rouge radio host Jordy Culotta caught up with SEC Network host [autotag]Paul Finebaum[/autotag] to get his thoughts on how Kelly’s press conference went. Finebaum was impressed with Kelly and said he has been since Kelly took the job.
“In a reasonable period of time, he’s gonna have LSU playing for a national championship,” Finebaum said about his expectations from Kelly.
In Finebaum’s view, Kelly is a top-five coach in the country.
“I just think it’s absurd the way some people just want to continue to take shots at him.”@finebaum with his first impressions of Brian Kelly as the head coach of #LSU. pic.twitter.com/ldn5j51OKs

LSU’s decision to hire Kelly was one of the more polarizing moves of the latest coaching carousel cycle. Many have questioned his ability to recruit Louisiana and win the big games after struggling to get over the hump at Notre Dame.
After all the talk, I’m sure LSU fans are just ready to see the Tigers get out and play.
