That’s a good point and makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Kelly was the person Lee Roy Selmon hired to replace himself when LRS got promoted to AD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could certainly building new relationships. It could also be with a very big donor, who gets news before the public. You just never know. Good point on both.

Out of all the things I've read about this guy in the last half hour or so, this might be the single piece of information that sold me on him most. If there is one person you can trust when it comes to USF its LRS! Miss that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this guy turns out to be a mover and shaker and not just a schedule good games AD. I love how often “on paper” is used. Its always on paper. Signing Nick Saban to replace CCS would be a good hire on paper, since he’s currently not doing the job at USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot of work for journalist to do so. When I gripe about Joey Knight being a glorified Google News Alert this is what I am talking about. If he dedicated himself to the job he would have some excellent inside sources by now and be able to provide the scoop. That would require showing up to the campus more than once every couple of weeks. Yup. The USF beat writer just got scooped by someone without a job. It wasn’t the first time and won’t be the last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what you are getting in a head coach. How he fits into the system/community/dynamic at a given University would remain to be seen. Kelly has no real track record to go off of.
