Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers have dominated the NCAA Transfer Portal with the program holding the No. 1 class in America with 15 additions to this point. Kelly and Co. understood the importance of the Transfer Portal over the last four weeks with the program handling business quickly.

The Orange Bowl was a huge win for that program. The fact that they made it all this way — against Penn State, no less — speaks to the job Freeman has done. To go from losing to Northern Illinois at the beginning of the season to playing for a national championship is unheard of.

"Brian Kelly left Notre Dame because he didn’t think he could win a national title there in the current CFB landscape. He thought LSU would be a better path. His replacement has Notre Dame just 60 minutes away from a title, and Kelly enters next season on a hot seat," said another.
