The beginning of the end for purple face

[theskibro]

Tough part of schedule coming up. Losing now by 20 to vols.
Life is good. Yes I dislike a guy who leaves in the dead of nite n doesn’t return Holtz’ letters

unabashedly no apologies

he could lose 5-6 games this year

 

[d1042]

and, a whole lot of other reasons!

 

[Fightingirish595]

Brian’s not a bad coach. He’s just not elite. And it shows in these games. I hope they come back and win though

 

[d1042]

well, it will all twerk out in the end!

 

[chaseball]

and 6 games into BKs Notre Dame career he was 3-3, before eventually going on to win 55 of his last 60 games (or whatever) here.

Brian Kelly couldn't maximize NDs potential as a program for sure but I think it had more to do with lack of talent (which he's responsible for) than the gameday planning/Xs & 0s of football coaching.

 

[edub72]

Agreed. Not a bad football coach but not great or elite. He’s never going to out coach anyone

 

[d1042]

even a blind squirrel will find a nut if he looks long enough, BK is still looking!

My biggest problem with him is that his offense is really a passing offense and he tried way too much to take guys who could run and make them throw. And too often they just weren’t good enough

This comment won't age well.

BK will win a national title at LSU and have that program rocking within the next 3 years.

The talent out of that state is insane, BK has full support from LSU admins to win football games (sign the best coaches, upgrade facilities to stay competitive, etc.), he probably has unlimited NIL money for recruiting top 100 talent, he can oversign and greyshirt, and he can transfer in whoever the hell he wants to repair any immediate weaknesses on the roster.

It won't mean as much when he eventually wins it all at LSU, but he'll win big there.

 

[d1042]

my issue was he was a dastardly dude

He aint winning a NC at LSU 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe if Saban anr Kirby leave the sec but that is not happening

Brian Kelly almost beat Kirby Smart twice with NDs talent/handicaps.

no he didn’t - UGA played well enough to Win.

Other than Bama/Clemson, which teams did ND play and lose to that had more talent than ND?

 

[chaseball]

no he didn’t - UGA played well enough to Win.

I think Kelly played Georgia twice (for a total of 8 quarters) and lost both games by a total point differential of -8.

That was with NDs talent.

Swap rosters and BK takes at least one of those games if not both.

 

[christophero]

LSU won a title 3 years ago with Burrow. I think they will be good again. Not this year. I don't root for Kelly, but I don't root against him either. I'm not sure I would bet money that Notre Dame will be better than LSU the next 5 years.

 

[Fightingirish595]

Kelly doing bozo stuff to end the half there

 

[HerbieHancock88]

Typical Kelly call at the end to go for it on 4th. Should have punted and gone into half to make adjustments. I will say, he is typically a second half coach as we have all seen in the past. I suspect LSU will come out looking better for the next 30. But kudos as well to Tennessee. They don’t look bad.

Georgia didnt have the talent they do now.

And we dont have handicaps

Kelly is more likely to be fired after 3 seasons then win a Title.

We had plenty of talent

 

[d1042]

never argue with a child; they don’t know how to lose

 

[Fightingirish595]

Fans filing out in quarter 3. Feels like a vol home game. Rocky top playing all game. BKs team uncompetitive😂

 

[echowaker]

Not that level of talent. A few guys at best.

 

[Fightingirish595]

This is the results you get when your guy can’t throw and theirs can. Daniels yet another runner in a passing offense

BK is a passing coach; as in thru!

 

[echowaker]

All I know is that when Kelly took the ND job the program was in total disarray. He made the program relevant again and left in 1000% better shape than it was in when he inherited it. For that I thank him.

Yes!!!! My son and I are texting to a friend Whose an alum…love the fact the dancing bear with the phony accent is getting his ass kicked...for all the reasons you state.

 

[d1042]

wait till BK gets his kind of players in there! This loss is on Ed O.! 🤧🤥🤢🤫🫣😢🥵🥴👎

That’s 100 % correct and I don’t think that a rational person disagrees with that.

But, I believe that the angst is rooted in the way Kelly chose to leave ND

 

[IrishBeer]

LSU won’t be patient. Freeman gets 3 years no matter what. BK won’t. The too much pressure on coaches bs at ND is just that, bs.

Well, you also know that he was Totally classless in the way he left.

 

[d1042]

he gonna find out the true meaning of ‘burnt ends’ I bet he regrets leaving T Rees behind!

(he doesn’t have Dayne to kick around anymore!)

Not that level of talent. A few guys at best.

In 17 we had

Nelson, Mcglinchey, mustipher, Bars, Hainsey and Kraemer as our starting Ol

Every single one of them played in the nfl. 6 guys

Our TE room was Smythe, Mack, Wright and Kmet.

3 of them have played in the nfl and the other is still currently on a practice squad

Our wr room had Eq st brown, Claypool, Boykin, Mckinley

Those 3 have played in the nfl. 1 on current practice squad

Our RB room had Adams, Williams, Jones jr

Those 3 have played in the nfl

Our qb room had Book

Book played in the nfl


So thats 16 guys just from our offense who have played in the NFL. Thats not including our Defense who was also stacked with talent

We were loaded with talent in 2017.

Not a few guys at best, ridiculous

247 team talent composite ranking by year (you know, since there are 85 players on an FBS roster):
2017: ND #10, UGA #4
2019: ND #14, UGA #3

UGA had 14 5-star players on their roster by 2019, ND had 1.

No this is flat out wrong. He was consistently out schemed

 

[chaseball]

During the latter half of his ND tenure, he was "consistently outschemed" by programs with way deeper rosters and much higher end talent.

That is recruiting rankings. We had players in the league. That's the ultimate talent evaluation.

You do understand that right? In 2017 at home, we should have won that game
