Summary: LSU Tigers head football coach Brian Kelly sat down with Blake Toppmeyer of USA Today to discuss the state of the LSU football program, what they have accomplished under just one year of Brian Kelly and what the plans are moving forward, both long term and short term. Kelly's first year went as good as any Tiger fan would hope: a win against SEC West foe Alabama, a trip to Atlanta to compete in the SEC Championship game, and a ten win season to top it all off. While year one has been considered a success, the expectations only skyrocket from there. One year ago we were asking ourselves if Brian Kelly would be a good fit at LSU; now, we're asking ourselves when Brian Kelly will bring a national championship to LSU. Can LSU win a national title this year? Sure, why not? The Tigers return quarterback Jayden Daniels in addition to their leading receiver in Nabers and four of their leading rushers. Offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and defensive coordinator Matt House also return for year two under Brian Kelly. LSU has some difficult tests on their schedule, like kicking off the season against Florida State and then on the road in Tuscaloosa with a showdown against Nick Saban and company, but overall the Tigers have a fairly favorable schedule all things considered.
