We will never again win a NC. Kelly is big game bust

Ski...I feel your pain. Very reminiscent of your Miami debacle posts. It’s not that we lost yet another big post season game, but how we lost. For the most part, our defense played a good game. That ten minute stretch with Love out in the second qtr killed us, but I think most of us would be talking and feeling differently if we had put 24 points on the board and showed a lot of emotion and spirit doing so. Frankly, I get sick of hearing Kelly talk about trusting the process and keeping the players from getting too high or too low. It’s the damn playoffs and we should be pulling out all stops and playing with a ton of excitement and emotion, instead we come out and play a very robotic vanilla game, on offense specifically. The bigger the stage, the more Kelly plays conservative and plays the odds, and we get run over by fired up opponents who game plan like their lives depend on it. Watching Texas and Washington et al yesterday reinforces why I love college football over pro football, and it pisses me off that I can’t say the same about our game.
It can’t be proven, it’s just a matter of opinion.
If you think this is the best, deepest, roster in 20 years, it kind of counters the idea that Kelly is “doing nothing” to help us close the gap on the elite teams.
Being a fan is not inconsistent with making legitimate criticism. The poster is exactly right, particularly about the QB situation. There is not one ND QB in the past 10 years that has improved under Kelly. In fact, it seems to me they have all regressed. The tight end position has also suffered. Where have they gone?? What do they contribute. And the most glaring problem: Not being ready to play in these big games.
BK is...
a good not great recruiter
good not great developer of talent
great spokesman for the university and politician like
Good play caller when in charge not great
Bad QB development
Bad in game adjustment
Terrible big game W/L record
Good organizer of staff not great (BVG)
When you break our HC down it becomes very obvious he is mediocre and ND deserves more than mediocre. We also deserve a athletic director who puts WINNING above EVERYTHING else in order for a above average coach to win here otherwise its a spinning cycle of false expectations.

You’re disappointed that a QB who lacks recognition skills, touch and accuracy wasn’t developed into Tom Brady.
Why would you use an inferior QB in an incredibly hostile environment
How did he look against Florida State ?
12-25 with 2 interceptions!
And you thought he should have played against Clemson ?
KIZER certainly improved.
Unless of course you feel that the NFL was wrong and that you’re right.
Last Sunday I thought I watched Kizer quarterbacking for the Green Bay Packers

I need therapy or a drunken binge or some other distraction like good looking women in a hot fub
But that’s not gonna happen at my age just like Kelly is never gonna game plan like Nick or Dabo
So like DIP and Bodi and you say, suck it up Ski there’s a silver lining, a needle in a haystack, a winning Lotto ticket. We just have to either find it or a great coach. Either will work
Developed into Tom Brady is a bit much, not sure I said that.
A package or two with Wimbush in at qb on designed runs and limited rpo's would not have been the worst thing to try considering we lost 30-3. Are you suggesting, given the opportunity to play the game again, we should go in with the exact same game plan?
I have no problem with legitimate criticism.
It’s the passionate and personal attacks of the coach, his family members and outright contempt for the university administration that makes me question why some post here
At the moment, there really is not much to be critical of. It has been surprising how opinions flip/flop
off a single game, when there is an entire season, or recent two, of information to look back on.
Lea-Balis-Long working with BK is a terrific staff. one of the better staffs in CF.
Bama? no, but ND ain’t going there!
But Kelly is the coach of the year! The Best of 125 D1 teams . Yup that’s our boy, coach of the year, # 1 no ones better. Fkn joke. How many wins in his career as an underdog? Whatever it is it’s not many Number one as a CEO bullshitter I will give him that award. Big game Brian
If you’ve been around here long enough you know that there is a group of negative posters who actually grow more and more frustrated with each win, and just explode when we finally lose a game.
First off, Urban is not the answer. He is not well and would only be around for 1-2 seasons, so stop with this nonsense.
In regards to Kelly, the latest report has Tampa Bay very interested in signing him, so many of you might get what you want. However, with the recent history ND has with hiring coaches, I am a little nervous who would replace him.

Good post ski, I feel your pain. I appreciate what BK has done to this point in the sense that he elevated the program from where the previous dingleberries left it and proved you can still have great seasons at ND. He will never get us to the level of the elites though. His offense has always turned me off. With the types of players we can recruit well, we should be running a power rushing offense with lots of play action. We routinely get some of the biggest, baddest offensive lineman in the country, and then we teach them how to pass protect. Maybe we should raid Wisconsin’s offensive staff.
But he’s coach of the year! Who are the complete imbeciles that vote on this. Complete joke
Clemson called the dogs off in the second half or they could have hung an easy 50.
