Amen brother great post, although penisick and echo aint gonna like itI actually read the article today .... because I rarely read anything BK is spewing ... proof the guy still doesn't get it .... participating in fundraisers and doing public speaking on behalf of the university .... is .... and ALWAYS has been .... a part of being head coach at ND .... deal with it .... but no .... he is passing the buck again
To those that say he accepted blame after last year .... that is junk .... and apparently not any more ..... it was only a PR ploy since it was obvious he needed to do something with billboards going up (literally) calling for his head after he was called out ALL SEASON for blaming everyone else
BK is a fraud ... he should run for political office ..... he'd make a great politician
Kelly Blames Fundraising for 4-8 Season

echo. Most of us real fans are always positive but it has become a very difficult to buy into BK as a HC . 2017 has to be better . It can't be worse so yes I am confident we will improve but what will determine BK's fate ? Does 8-5 do it ?
He is an embarrassment to ND no matter how many games the football team wins this year. He is an excuse maker. A crybaby.
Clausen as an NFL ready Jr, ditto for Golden Tate, Floyd and Rudolph were true sophomores who had started as freshmen.
That's an NFL ready arsenal with a general who is above average a an Xs&Os coordinator.
That [de]elevates a normal ND failure to the ultimate on I cannot think of any analogous situations. BK improved the team despite having Rees instead of Clausen.
Ya know if forced to choose between a lame genius like Weis who calls the right plays for a bunch of unmotivated prima donnas and an the oaf called Les Miles whose players would run 100 miles to go nowhere; I'd probably hire the meathead. College football is about Larrys and Joes, when they're well coached they'll beat up any apathetic team.
If Kelly is to be credited for maxing out Rees (although I thought Rees was better than regarded and being the son of a HS coach steeled him to Kelly's sideline tirades), he must also bear part of the blame for the failure to develop 5 star talents Crist and Kiel.
Again, try to keep up.Proof that it was ... is ... a bad hire .... we understand these facts get in the way of your totally flawed reasoning ..... and thus you choose to ignore those facts ....
My point has been that he is still the coach. None of us here will ever have any say so in that decision. I ve always said that I believe he is a very good coach, not a great one. My mind hasn't changed after one bad season. There's more to it than just game day. I don t think 8-5 would save his job but who knows ? The haters here never offer any legitimate alternatives they just hate.
Geez. Blair Kiel played while Gerry Faust was coach. You missed it by a mere 30 years.
True, but do you ever remember the turnover ratio being this bad regardless who the QB is?
No Kelly puts way too much on the QB. That is why younger guys play better because he doesn't force them to do too much.
I don't know about that brother
He's had turnover issue with ever QB he's coached in the past 7 seasons
That Kelly didnt better communicate with Kiel was on the coach. Crist was misused before he accumulated injuries.
Kiel ended up 4 th string at UC and Crist got benched at Kansas. At least you didn't blame Trump!
That's pure nonsense.kiel left because he didn't t want to compete for a job. Blaming Kelly for that is silly.
First and foremost he wasn't t there long enough for any coach to have an impact on him. When he found out he was t going to be handed the starting job he turned tail and ran.
Lets just say Kelly's handling of those 2 5-star QBs was like the way has botched so many things.
Congratulations on now remembering that a guy named Kiel was on the ND squad not that long ago.
I wouldn't t call the handling of those two botched at all. One chose not to compete and one underperformed....at two places.stars mean nothing once you graduate high school.
You are just speculating about why he left. It dubious how much of a chance Kelly gave him. His handling of Kizer/Zaire attests to his hamfistedness.
You really don't know the story about Kiel, and Crist was damaged goods when he left ND.
Yeah, the sarcasm wasnt called for in that context, so it made no sense. Kind of like mixing up Jim Lynch with Aaron Lynch.
He left for the same reason he decommitted from lsu.its not hard to connect the dots.
