It's a question that Scott Woodward had to ask himself when he decided to hire Brian Kelly to be the next head football coach for the LSU Tigers: will he win a championship here? Will he become the fourth LSU head football coach in a row to hoist a trophy at the end of the season? Clearly Woodward thought so, or else he wouldn't have brought him in to a program whose expectations are nothing short of championships. But do we, as LSU fans, think so too?
What exactly does it take to win a championship? There is no formula that exists. If there was, it would be a whole heck of a lot easier to win a college football national championship. Every single year in this league is dramatically different, and the path to a championship can vary massively from team to team year over year. But if we look at the closest thing there is to a championship formula, does LSU fit it?
