Kelly is a better coach than Davies, Ty and Weis no arguing that but after 6 years his biggest win is a music city bowl. Still no January bowl wins since Holtz era. Fact is Kelly does not do well vs teams with equal or better talent, combined with struggling vs inferior teams every year. Kelly is a upgrade from the previous 3 coaches but far from elite.
David Shaw, Harbaugh, Dantonio and many others do much more with much less. Those coaches are winning titles and big games while Kelly's biggest victory this year was vs Navy. With USC being down and Michigan off the schedule this was perfect timing for ND to rise to elite level, but Killy appears not to have the ability to take this step.
10 wins appears to be a good season until you look at the schedule and how it played out with Navy being the best victory.

Some will point out that with a couple of home cooking calls he got to the NC game in 12 - as they say - the rest is history as Bama completely humiliated his squad by the end of the first quarter - exactly like Florida did to his Cinci team who couldn't play D either.

Where to start? Oh the hell with it!
 
2011: 11-3 MSU
2012: 10-3 Oklahoma, 12-2 Stanford
2013: 13-1 MSU

2015: 10-3 record with an absurd amount of injuries. Lost to 14-0 Clemson by a failed 2 point conversion and lost to 12-2 Stanford on a time-expiring 45 yard FG.

I don't like your opinion at all. Too shortsighted.
 
Cash, are you still a fan of Florida, or did you bandwagon to OSU when Urban took the HC gig?

How many remember Cash railing about the Irish under Charlie and how he was a Florida /Urban fan?
 
Yes, I am still a Urban Meyer fan all the guy does is win games that matter. 3 bcs titles a couple of SEC titles, 5 BCS wins big ten titles etc. Kelly in year 6 has nothing, no BCS wins, no titles no anything
 
Well, Cash, I'll give you credit for admitting you're a bandwagoner and for being a consistent bandwagoner and troll. :D

Didn't you once even join The Four Horsemen Lounge (now Rockne's Roundtable)? #equalopportunitytroll

Those minor victories vs overachieving teams accomplished very little. They did not result in any titles, BCS wins, playoff wins or a January bowl. Like I said Kelly has no significant wins in 6 years. Funny part is everyone is excited ND got 10 wins but when you look who they beat was it a accomplishment when Navy is your best win?

ND is now so accustomed to losing that 10 wins is a huge deal compared to schools like Stanford, MSU, Baylor and TCU do this more times than not with way less talent.

You are so full of crap. First, you say that Kelly has no major wins. Then, when someone one proves you wrong, you blatantly lie and claim they are not major wins at all. You are a damned liar, pure and simple.

If you want to get rid of Coach Kelly, who are you going to replace him with?
 
Cash, you're the ultimate Urban fanboy and Bucknut bandwagoner, why all this Irish angst?

....ND lost in the final twenty-some seconds to Stanford this year but beat them in 2015. The Irish have bear MSU the last three times they have met (four of the last five).
 
1. Kelly is doing a pretty good job.
2. Kelly has recruited offensively at an elite level
3. Kelly knows the defensive recruiting isdues and the staff is doing it's darnest to fill those weaknesses
4. Stability or the appearance of stability is paramount for ND
but
1. If you (ND) do not believe in your plan - You don't stand pat out of fear!
 
Kelly is not a elite coach and can not take ND to elite level. Unfortunately, Kelly is a marginal coach that attains marginal results which makes ND a marginal program
 
UM embarrassed the hell out of Fla. Should worry about your own program. I read that some of your commits are looking at Miami.
