@jlightsy7 Super Early in his career!
Has time to get it turned around!
But he’s not above the criticism. It’s deserved, but not to the point where some people take it.
I think Pat Kelsey has done a good job of quickly injecting life back into this program, and although expectations were higher this year, I won’t ignore the Mikel/Pryor situation.
I’m not sure what he, as a coach, could’ve done differently regarding those two. With Mikel, it’s obvious. I think if they had let Pryor walk and not paid him, fans would’ve crushed Kelsey. In this new world, you’re rolling the dice to an extent. You can evaluate talent, skill set, and fit, but it’s tougher to truly know a player’s intentions and commitment.
This may sound like over-the-top criticism to some, but it’s just the reality of the situation… Kelsey has a lot to learn at this level. A lot of coaches who followed a similar path and ended up as the head coach at Louisville would likely be in the same position. Only time will tell, but I think he’s too hard of a worker and too invested in this to not figure it out.
When it comes to learning and adjusting, I think his overall philosophy needs to be re-examined. This team was too easy to defend. It’s worse to be easy to defend because you don’t do anything to make the defense work than to be easy to defend because you have lousy players. The offensive system this year was built as if every player on the floor were the exact same guy. Designing and running things to put your players in positions where they’re best equipped to make a play is basic stuff.
