Kelly has rubbed all of us the wrong way at different times during his tenure at Notre Dame. Whether it was certain questionable/terrible coaching hires, yelling at players or telling us we better get used to whatever questionable call he made. Some here have been harder on him than others. There is no doubt. But all of us have at the very least rubbed our heads at times.
He got a huge monkey off his back Saturday night though. He brought us to an undefeated regular season in year 3 and to play in a National Championship game. He has had a couple of 12 win seasons, an 11 win season and what looks like a 3rd 10 win season in 11 years. We made it to the playoffs. We haven't lost at home in years. We have the longest winning streak in the country at a pretty impressive 13 games. We've won 5 bowl games under Kelly. And Saturday night, he beat the #1 team in the country.
After what this University went through on the football field in the 15 years before he arrived, Brian Kelly has been pretty damn good as a coach for Our Lady's University and he has almost turned this thing around completely...almost. He still has work to do to finish the job, no doubt.
The next step is to beat Boston College and keep this going. If we win the National Championship, he will have done something few of us had thought possible and he will get a statue and be a legend at Notre Dame. If he doesn't, he won't get all that but he will be a College Hall of Famer as a coach. He has sealed that already in my opinion.
30-3 and 40-6 over the last 3/4 years respectively. 7-0 and #2 in the country this week coming off a victory over #1. Pretty damn good and I think Brian Kelly deserves some real respect.
Keep it going...Go Irish!!!
