So has the swag simmered down or is his behavior simply tolerated at Ole Piss?
Looks like he's got an inside track to start.

And this from Jackson:
Chad Kelly
Ole Miss won't be naming a starting quarterback any time soon.
But let's pretend Kelly lands the job. He'd be a fantasy must – that is, if his junior college numbers serve as any indication of what he's capable of in the SEC.
The nation's former top juco quarterback threw for 3,905 yards and 47 touchdowns compared with eight interceptions while leading East Mississippi to another NJCAA national championship.
But what makes him a potentially perfect pseudo-fantasy quarterback is his versatility.
He can make plays with his arm.
Sure, Kelly made his fair share of mistakes during spring. But he also showed a knack for throwing the deep ball. Several times during scrimmages, he'd connect on touchdowns passes of 30 yards, 40 yards and longer.
He can also make plays with his feet.
Kelly is the former No. 1 dual threat quarterback prospect coming out of high school. During spring, he not only showed his ability to improvise when the pocket collapsed, but he also executed the zone read well – he's never afraid to tuck the ball and pick up some yards himself.
