I don’t know about you, but the idea of Brian Kelly leading Michigan State football almost makes my skin crawl. No, he’s not a bad coach, but by all accounts, he’s a shady person.
While I’m not going to pile onto attacks on his character since I’ve never met the man, everything I’ve heard about Kelly as a person makes it clear that he’s not quite a fit in East Lansing.
Fans wouldn’t love his personality, and I could see him clashing with donors and J Batt. It would be a toxic relationship that winning might solve, but that band-aid would eventually erode, leaving everyone with an expensive head coach who can never quite get over the hump.
