He is not elite, now. But I'm no longer on the "Fire Kelly" bandwagon. I didn't think he was capable of making the changes he's made so far, but he has. He's improved his staff, essentially eliminated the purple-faced tirades on the sidelines, and press conferences are about the team (not individual player failures). He's bonding with players and they seem to be ready to run through walls for him. Can he become elite? I don't think we know yet. But he had to be good before before becoming elite. He is now good. Things are improving, and I'm now willing to wait and see. He needs to improve depth and to learn to get the best out of his players on the biggest stage. I no longer think I know his ceiling, so he now gets the benefit of the doubt from me.
I'm renewing my donation. Many of you can now feel free to call me "part of the problem".
