Its also an undeniable fact he is the losingest football coach!
But you had a problem with that!
Can you name a football coach that structured and embraced his entire offensive philosophy and approach, firstly, to please the fans ?
Do you believe that fans are unified and speak as one when voicing their opinion ?
If you had a scintilla of reading comprehension, which you don’t, you would have seen that I had no problem with that statement. I was clear in stating that being deemed the “winningest” and “losingest” coach is a function of the number of games played.
Have someone explain that to you.
No shit.
But you had to respond to me with "numerically hes the winningest coach in ND football history"
We both know it's only because he coached more games so who cares.
Hes like the 5th or 6th best coach in school history
The definition of "winningest" is: "having achieved the most success in competition". So peel another layer away and define "success"...."the accomplishment of an aim or purpose". Apparently, Knute Rockne, Ara Parseghian and Lou Holtz had a different aim or purpose than Brian Kelly did.
My sense is that the sites will -- UNTIL IF AND WHEN PROVEN WRONG -- continue to be OVERLY OPTIMISTIC. It's the nature of the MOMENT. A kind of FIX-CRAVING. People want their DOPAMINE. They almost feel that they're OWED.
Despite my having to cut through with a MACHETE some of your denser extended clauses, HAT’S OFF TO YOU for the most honest ANALYTICAL DECONSTRUCTION of Marcus Freeman, the Marcus Freeman Phenomenon – A DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT ANIMAL FROM THE MAN – and the HYPER-EMOTIONAL and PSYCHOLOGICALLY COMPENSATORY mindset of many ND fans.
You really called the WHOLE THING OUT and in doing so, put it all SQUARELY ON THE TABLE.
Is your thesis correct? Who knows? But as an argument worth VETTING, I found it HIGHLY PLAUSIBLE. And when lacking all the facts, that’s the best anyone can hope for.
There are many other LOW HANGING TARGETS out there. I look forward to your TAKING AIM.
You claimed that I had a problem with the statement, which I didn’t
Hence, I thought it was necessary to clarify his record for the numerically challenged, such as yourself.
Opinions vary as to where Kelly ranks as one of ND’s football coaches.
I always liked Ara because he took a rudderless program and immediately turned them into a team that came within less than two minutes from being the National Champion
Yeah, that was pretty bad, even for me. But there's a reason my posts are so dense, and quite frankly so unpleasant to read. I just want to get out my little rambling spiel quickly, without much regard for style, in about five minutes or so, maybe ten in this case. And sometimes they're hard to read, and whatever I can spit out without stopping, and I will readily admit it.
So nevertheless my point stands, Parker sucks as an OC. Or whatever, it was a super underwhelming hire. And if that indeed is why he was hired, because he won't put up a fight regarding MF's crude and/or blunt designs for a smash mouth style, then I don't have much great to say about MF either. Unless it works, in which case he will have the last laugh and look like a genius.
Does MF seem like the type who could be affected and/or influenced by some vague, but very much palpable sense of fan expectations? Absolutely yes, IMO. I don't know if that's true or not, I'm not in his inner circle. But I could definitely see it. Anyway, I think I've said enough on this subject, considering what precious little we have to go on....
Brian Kelly makes more annually(9.81 million currently) than Ryan Day and Jim Harbaugh. That surprised me.
Why do you care so much about how much money he makes? Who cares
I Never disputed that, but again, when you coach the most games, 23 games more than any other coach, that’s no surprise.
The cstegorization is beyond moronic and akin to referring to Lou Holtz the second losingest coach in Notre Dame football history !
