People scoffed at Brian Kelly after Week 1 of the college football season.
His LSU Tigers had just lost a heartbreaker to Florida State and Kelly appeared out of his comfort zone coaching down south after a resume that featured Central Michigan, Cincinnati, and then Notre Dame for the first 19 years of his coaching career.
Nobody is laughing at Kelly now, though, especially now that his Tigers are fresh off a 63-7 drubbing of the Purdue Boilermakers in the Citrus Bowl.
Sure, Purdue is a program in transition and disarray, but Kelly’s team dominated from whistle to whistle en route to picking up LSU’s 10th win of the season.
