There we’re no mulligans, ND had more than ample funds to pay CW 6.6 million when he was fired.
Notre Dame’s endowmnent in 2009 was 5.52 BILLION and the operating revenue was
$ 808,000,000 so $ 6,600,000 was a drop in the bucket.
You left off a year when Kelly went 11-2, so I added it above.
What we see is the winningest coach in Notre Dame history, a coach who went 54- 9 in his last five years.
How was ND doing for the dozen years before Kelly arrived ?
i‘m no Kelly fan but I am objective, whereas you aren't, all you want to do is denigrate an excellent record.
Get over it !
You don't get it...
See...it's not the dollar amount that mattered...it was the principle of it.
In case you didn't know...ND doesn't like spending those millions.
Want one example why?
If they wanted to win that badly and as yoy put it money is just a drop in a bucket to them...
You'd see them steal away the very best in coaching. The hottest commodities would all be in South Bend because...you know...it's just a drop in the bucket.
The REALITY is ND hated every second of paying CW for services not rendered because as I showed you they don't like paying these millions upon millions regardless the return on investment.
As far as your rallying around BK and his "winningest" title you bestow upon him...
Please tell me what he won.
CW, TW, BD all have better records if they played the BK schedules his final 6 years.
Holtz would've obliterated those daisies and put up a Rockne like winning percentage.
You fail to acknowledge his 8-4 average record he had before being gifted those 5-6 ACC games.
It's no coincidence 8-4 turned into 10-2 on average.
Again though just let us know when he...forget titles...just wins one major bowl game or playoff game.
You let us know when he's actually competitive in one.
