LSU football head coach Brian Kelly met with the media on Monday at SEC media days. This event serves as an annual reminder that the college football season is getting closer and closer.
Kelly’s statement at the main stage addressed a variety of topics, from LSU’s current team to the state of college sports. Kelly has been around a long time and is a seasoned veteran when it comes to media days.
Just as Kelly left the stage, the SEC Network cut to Paul Finebaum. What stood out most to the SEC Network commentator was Kelly’s confidence.
“Usually, when a coach goes on for exactly 12 minutes without answering questions, it makes it appear that he doesn’t want to answer them. But he did, and he does. And I don’t want to say this is a new Brian Kelly because he’s 60 years old and he’s had an extraordinary career, but this is Brian Kelly embracing the noise,” Finebaum said from the SEC Network set.
“He’s like, I don’t care. And some would say, well, don’t you think he’s putting more pressure on himself? You can’t put any more pressure on yourself when you’re coaching at a school where in the aftermath of Nick Saban, Les Miles, and Ed O all won national championships, and people are saying, this is your fourth year, when are you going to win one?”
Finebaum said its a unique moment for Kelly at LSU, but he said he thinks Kelly believes this is the year LSU can back it up.
