WTF are you talking about. Kelly outperforming Saban. 7 National Championships at this level to zero. Those coach of the year trophies are the only trophies he has in his office. Big deal.Yep. As far as I’m concerned getting to the playoffs is our ceiling. This team has achieved as much if not more than Bama. Our kids are playing above their potential. We have great coaches and great kids.
Expectations to win a title are very unrealistic. Anyone that follows recruiting and coaching knows that Bama has the best coaches and the best recruits. To beat them you have to recruit as well. If recruiting improves drastically we have a shot. By drastically I mean matching Bama in recruiting every other year. To do that, something earth shattering has to happen. I have no solution for this. I don’t want lower expectations academically. Weis showed it’s possible to recruit at an elite level. Maybe ND needs to pay millions to someone like Weis to head recruiting.
It doesn’t really matter how people feel about this. It’s just a fact that ND or any other team like Oklahoma that makes the playoffs will never win it all with such inferior recruiting. I’m happy with 10 wins. Ecstatic to make the playoffs. We are achieving a lot with our kids. I think that’s why BK wins coach of the year. Everyone knows he’s outperforming Saban. I truly believe if Saban was at ND we’d be a lesser team. BK is really good. My only issue with him is subpar recruiting.
I also believe if BK was at Florida, Ohio State, or Georgia, he’d have at least one title by now.
How do figure Saban coming here makes ND a lesser team? He would win at least one NC here probably using Kelly's own players. He's a great coach. He turned over his whole staff since 2017 and still won the title. I know you're in love with Brian Kelly, but please stop the nonsense.
If you can get ND to the playoffs, you should be able to win at least one playoff game at some point. Getting there is half the battle. Quit making excuses for the guy. All this success this guy has had and he still can't get a Top 5 recruiting class. You should be asking why can't Kelly, who most of you would argue has a better coaching pedigree than Kirby Smart, Coach O at LSU, and Clay Helton, among others, can't grab at least one Top 5 class? Why do these mopes out recruit Kelly? The program puts players in the NFL. He wins games. He has gotten his team to the playoff. Success should breed more success which ultimately leads to the brass ring. It hasn't for Kelly.
I know you will come up with a myriad of excuses, but why after 11 years hasn't he gotten it done.
