In spite of ND having their deepest, most talented offense ever....the screaming red faced marauder rears his ugly head yet again with another disappointing 7 & 5 season and a bowl win in NYC over Western Michigan.
Meanwhile the corrupt ND establishment who are only focused on money and image are ecstatic with the above .500 record! They in turn raise "Coach" Kelly's buyout to $100MM to ensure other teams won't "steal" him so their straw man .500+/- coach stays put!

I like Elko and think he could help us win some games we would otherwise lose on the road as Kelly has traditionally been an absolute miserable road coach whose teams always come out flat.
The new strength coach should help some but stop with the non-sense about measuring players explosion throughout the preseason and get back to smash mouth practices where players get used to intense physical play and learning to play hurt like the Holtz days.
Kelly once again won't play our best players as shown by the depth chart. It was very dumb to accept 5th year seniors at WR which is our deepest position. This will destroy morale of the more talented underclassmen and will lead to a transfer or two.
Kelly will never get it as we've seen over his career and certainly with his preseason remarks.
ND doesn't get it either with allowing the other team to bring their conference refs for home games which will cost us a game also.
ND defensive line is scary thin and unproven. Will also cost us a game this year.
I'm not convinced Long is a very astute offensive mind or game manager either. I think he'll be Kelly light when calling the plays.
Hence 7 & 5. A good coach with the raw talent ND has would have us playing in the playoff but we all know Kelly is not a good coach.
