i guess it depends on your expectations. i think this team is more than capable of going 11-1 and then who knows what happens after that. its really tough to win ten games or more especially with a formidable schedule though. luck both good and bad almost always are a factor in the outcome any teams season. bad bounce, bad call, tipped ball, a slip on either side of the ball, inadvertent whistle. i've seen them all in my time.at minimal 10 games this year and I would be still disappointed
twelve and oh or we let you go
eleven and one or you'll be done
ten and two or we get someone new
nine and three and we set you free
eight and four and we show you the door
I wouldn't not want to not be BK this season

i don't agree with that. had he followed up 2016 with a 6-6 record in 2017 he'd be long gone.Well, I was primary inquiring about fan reaction. As for ND, evidence is that Kelly cannot be fired at ND for anything football performance related.

4-8, 6-6 and he would have been goneHe would have to do that back 2 back.
Not sure I'd say Purdue's schedule is brutal.. maybe for them but if UM or OH St has that schedule (which they basically do) its soft as Twinkie fillin.
Because Brian kelly in 8 years has shown zero signs of consistencycoming off a ten win season with a lot of quality players returning why shouldn't expectations be high ? aren't yours ? oh, i forgot, no dex , no chance.......
Is that good enough in year 9? 10 win REGULAR SEASON at least!I feel a 9-10 win season. It's the homer in me. Gotta get this November thing fixed though.
Nope, replace your boy bkHe can take Long's job if he leaves for a head coaching job.
I choose to be optimistic. The arrow is definitely pointing up.Because Brian kelly in 8 years has shown zero signs of consistency
Not happening for at least another season. Deal with it.Nope, replace your boy bk
Nope, but the bk worshippers think soIs that good enough in year 9? 10 win REGULAR SEASON at least!
Go follow sparty and your douche bag coach dantonioNot happening for at least another season. Deal with it.
I think he has 4 more years on his contract.Not happening for at least another season. Deal with it.

True. Lay an egg this year and he may get canned though.I think he has 4 more years on his contract.
I do. Who do you follow ?Go follow sparty and your douche bag coach dantonio

I definitely agree on number (5) the two bonus qualities! Whether it happens or not is a whole nother story.1. Players over coaches, players over plays
2. SELL OUT for recruiting, understand the sheer importance of having a roster full of the best athletes in the country
3. Create an attractive/popular/trendy brand of football that resonates with the nations best prep stars out of high school every year
4. Be remarkable / differentiate / capture national media attention (e.g. think Kiffin with his twitter account trolling Saban, or Harbaugh being a member of a high school football chain gang, etc.)
5. Be highly analytical and have a firm understanding of data trends/next gen statistics/sabermetrics in football (e.g. the work being done over at footballoutsiders.com)
BONUS: Demand the highest pay among assistant coaches. Make NDs coaching staff the envy of college football again/a destination job not a springboard for another program who actually rewards their coaches.
BONUS II: Demand a recruiting staff that rivals that of Ohio State & Georgia where some 100+ staff members are involved with scouting and recruiting talent.
this isn't 1960 anymore.
the days of head coaches being stereo typical middle aged hard @sses who runs players into the ground/barking at their assistants/behaving like drill sergeants (e.g. Brian Kelly's style) are long gone/ in the past
It could occur but doubt that happens. I think we are in store for another good year.True. Lay an egg this year and he may get canned though.
Did the administration go public on what has to be accomplished in order for BK to keep his job or are we just making this stuff up?
Seeing posts like these warm my heart. Couldn’t have said it any better. Don’t settle for mediocrity!Let's face facts, the numbers don’t lie, it’s been 30 years of mediocrity. Since Lou, and Barry left town no one fears preparing for ND. Whoever is responsible for highering coaches needs to self examine those decisions. The fan base needs to be more diligent, and call for change. BK is an okay- good coach, that’s it. You want to be great..... hire a great coach.

no but it really is just common sense. if this season is a repeat of 2016 you don't think nd will be in the market for another coach ?Did the administration go public on what has to be accomplished in order for BK to keep his job or are we just making this stuff up?
duh, and what " great " coach has shown anything more than a passing interest in the last 4 coaching searches ? easy to say, much harder to do given the conditions in place.Let's face facts, the numbers don’t lie, it’s been 30 years of mediocrity.

they may warm your heart but they are far from being realistic.Seeing posts like these warm my heart. Couldn’t have said it any better. Don’t settle for mediocrity!
well, two of the last three seasons have resulted in ten wins so there goes your logic.He is quite consistent when it comes to saving his job with a 10+ win season, followed by a scandal and 8-5.
I don't know. What about seven wins? Eight? Seven or eight with a bowl loss? Seven or eight with a bowl win? Nine with a bowl loss? Six wins or less might start a discussion but I'm not sure the administration would make a change without knowing they can get a realistic hire who would be an improvement from BK. Is there somebody out there like that who is a realistic upgrade and would definitely take the ND position? I don't believe in making a change just for the sake of making a change with no solid plan supporting the change. Maybe changing the strategy by going after the best proven assistants/recruiters money can buy and leave BK in place. I'm just a fan speaking here with no experience at hiring or firing Head Coaches. As of now, we have a Head Coach.no but it really is just common sense. if this season is a repeat of 2016 you don't think nd will be in the market for another coach ?
i just don't think he can survive two subpar seasons out of three nor should he in my opinion. what is subpar ? at this point anything less than 9 wins should put some serious heat on him i believe. less than 8 and i think he's definitely gone.I don't know.

Wow... a 10 win season where your best win was Temple and you lost to every good team, followed by a total dumpster fire of 4-8, followed by the biggest November collapse I remember in the longest time. What a job BKwell, two of the last three seasons have resulted in ten wins so there goes your logic.
