Under Kelly, Notre Dame has had subpar strength and conditioning/player development, poor defensive coordination in recent years and good, but not great, recruiting on the defensive side of the ball.

Going into 2017, I believe ND has Top 10, maybe Top 5, talent on offense, and Top 25 to 40 talent on the defensive side of the ball. We have much better defensive coordination and strength & conditioning in place.

We're also looking at a potentially top 5 recruiting class in 2018 with six top notch players already committed, and strong positioning with a host of additional elite prospects. I believe that, if Notre Dame goes 9-3 or better, we'll see the start of an significant upward trajectory in recruiting, player development and overall coaching.

I also believe 2016, and Jack Swarbrick, cracked Kelly's cone of insufferable bullheadedness and arrogance, and that's a good thing for him as a coach and Notre Dame as a program.

So, GO IRISH!

Kelly is a cancer on ND

 

[Nocalirish]

Buy a lottery ticket. You have a better chance than Kelly going 9-3 in 2017.

 

[FernCreekCat67]

Don't disagree; expect them to go 8-4 in 2017 based on past performance, but want to hold onto a little optimism!

Kelly is a cancer on ND

What were the previous 10 years? Just curious, 9 straight losses to USC (many by 30+). How did you deal with the previous 10 years? This is living compared to those days!

Kelly is a cancer on ND

you would know all too well, most worthless NARP on this board.

 

[irishstuey81]

More excuses for Kelly I see. Can not wait until October when you degenerates wake the f up and realize he is done. The guy has given up...his teams give up on him....and nobody wants the guy...except ND for some fing retarded reason.
