I feel like ND fans are working hard to find faults in Kelly now that he's gone. ND had a really nice 12 year run.
Then you don't follow along on here so well.
I didn't wait until he left to find faults with Brian Kelly. I spoke reality the moment they happened.
Ever see me call him fool's gold? I did a hundred times because that's exactly what he is.
He does just ok, just enough, he's a tough fire but he never, and I repeat never will win anything of significance.
IMO his best coaching effort was in a loss @ Tallahassee
The numbers and results speak for themselves.
During the regular season he's been close in some big games ( yet managed to win none of them) ....
BTW how does that even happen? To never win a top5 game, major bowl or playoff? No matter @ Cinci or ND he's never won. Even via accident absolutely positively not.
It's like he tried to lose it happened that much in those settings.
Speaking which in those moments if he had a month to prepare the outcome was far worse. Which one? All of them.
Give him a month prep time and he'll try and polish up an east west run play that takes eons to develop.
Adding any new plays or twists or formations...things not seem by the opposition....
No way in hell would he do such a thing.
Brian Kelly is fool's gold and he really should thank the run of unsuccessful coaches of Bob Davie, Willingham and especially Weis.
Weis buyout was so fat and juicy they still have egg on face over that. No way was ND going to have two ex head coaches still getting paid millions each year without any services rendered.
He's gone now and someone else's problem.
Thank **** for that
