Lou Holtz started 1-4 and finished 4-2 with the two being close losses to ranked opponents.
Brian Kelly started 1-3 and went 7-2 the rest of the way I believe.
Holtz’s teams played competitive right from the start, Kelly had some bad losses.
So how will this team finish? To me that is more important than how they have started. If this staff can’t find its footing and come together down the stretch then that will be a good indication that Freeman was a the wrong choice.
