What is your prediction for next year's record under Kelly?

[theskibro]

I go with 6-6 Contract extension and a new "Kelly gets it done" T shirt is the rage

The shirt is a "Return to Glory 2"

I will set my alarm for 2018 and randomly check in to see the futility

Any positive predictions? Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile

 

[perseverare]

No guess; ND admins really have no interest in football. It will take me a while to catch up to them.
I doubt I will be alone when I do.

 

[ignatiusjk]

If I had confidence in this team I'd say we have a decent chance to run the table but realistically I'd say 8-4 or 7-5 with a boring bowl bid.

 

[NDskins]

7-5 but another loss in a mid bowl game with the koolaid drinkers proclaiming that 2018 is the year he takes us to the top

 

[ivan brunetti]

9-3.

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

Wins Temple, Miami Oh, Wake and Boston College. The rest are toss ups at best.

 

[IrishBlessings]

8-4 year. And Jack will add on 4 more years to his extension. We will go to a mid level boring bowl vs. some boring team and barely win vs. a team like Maryland.

I will be waiting for a new coach - which wont happen. The BK's excuse makers will say too many injuries or they would of been 10-2. And they will say 2018 is the year !

I will be on 3 years of going to no ND games. I'm at least Gonna save some good $$ w/ BK as the coach. Jack, Brian and Father Jenkins will be having beers together laughing at how stupid ND fans are to keep selling out the stadium.

I know you're an alum, and surely have some connections within the University. In all seriousness--at this point, as we embark on 2017, should the admin care about football?

 

[perseverare]

there are reasons that the Administrators should care about ND's football stature: but they do not and this generation of Administrators WILL NOT.
so No, no reason to go further.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Return to 8-4 and big foamy "we're number 1" fingers!

 

[perseverare]

Mon. 5:00 P.M. EST. Nov. 28, 2016
if BK is still Notre Dame head football coach, then that can be remembered as the time Notre Dame ceased consideration that it would compete on the National Championship level in football.

JMHO.

 

[scubastevefl]

If Brian Kelly fails to make playoffs, gone.

Temple W

@BC W
@MSU L
Miami (O) W
@UNC L
USC L
NC St W
Wake W
@Miami W
Navy W
@ Stanford L

8-4

 

[T-bob75]

1-3. Then he will be fired and ND will have thrown another season down the crapper. In which case something spectacular better happen with the next hire cough* Meyer.

 

[cgaynor]

If Kizer leaves:

Temple - W
Georgia - L
@BC - W
@MSU - L
Miami (O) - W
@UNC - L
USC - L
NC St - W (likely)
Wake - W
@Miami - L (toss-up)
Navy - L (toss-up)
@ Stanford - L

IF he stays & actually develops (instead of regresses like this year), then 7-5 with 2 more wins from the Miami, Navy, & Stanford games. If not, then it comes down to Zaire & Wimbush. Zaire may opt to play his last year as a transfer somewhere else, and I wouldn't blame him. Wimbush would need a year to develop (again, assuming he can grow under Kelly.) So, then we're talking 2018 before ND has a chance to finish with 7 wins or better.

As per usual coaching blunders. We will lose all the games where we are underdogs and have two games where we should win, but instead will lose, so my prediction for next year is 5-7.

4 and 8. No improvement.

well, that record will get him another year by Swarbricks standards.

 

[Extirpate 6951]

6 - 6 and another exciting Pinstripe invite.

I think the Irish will go 12 and 0 no matter who the coach is. But I hope PJ Fleck or Urban Meyer is in charge.
Temple - W 37 to 17
Georgia - W 35 to 21
@BC - W 16 to 10
@MSU - W 24 to 23
Miami (O) - W 47 to 0
@UNC - W 44 to 34

NC St - W 10 to 6
Wake - W 69 to 17
@Miami - W 44 to 13
Navy - W 50 to 34
@ Stanford - W 27 to 24 OT

 

[perseverare]

nationally? no one really cares!

 

[dohster]

I hope i am wrong.. but I don't see next year team winning more than 4 games.
especially with BK...
even if we fix the 2nd half offense.. our D line & linebacker will be the sore spot.....

If Kelly leaves, I want Fletch not Fleck.

 

[end_23]

6-6 is the best they can do.

 

[perseverare]

is Morgan eligible for the draft?

anyone who can get out should get the hell out and not look back!

 

[MTIrish98]

is Morgan eligible for the draft?

Yes. They submitted the draft evaluation paperwork on his behalf.

 

[Bodizephax]

You are definitely not an Irish fan ! No Irish fan would want one of the most important players on the Irish to leave ! You make me sick Purse !

 

[Telx1]

0-0 because Kelly won't be coaching ND next season.

 

[Bodizephax]

If Kelly leaves, I want Fletch not Fleck.

Pennick, Don't you want Notre Dame to win? Kelly is toast. He is burned out. Next man in !

 

[end_23]

If Brian Kelly fails to make playoffs, gone.

Playoffs? Playoffs? I just want to win a game!

 

[Bodizephax]

You just would be happy to win an election, Lyin Ted.

 

[perseverare]

the 'back up bus' is going to be doing a lot of backing up!

 

[88ND]

If that zero is retained...this is what will happen.

We'll go 11-0....

And we'll lose to a 6-5 Stanford team by 17 points and fall right the **** out of the playoffs.

Now that's signature Brian Kelly right there.

Then we'll get selected for another new years day bowl...we'll get wrecked by a three loss Big 12 champ.

And another year of superficial competitive football

 

[perseverare]

? can Niles Morgan declare for the draft?

Who else theoretically could declare?

jmo: any soph who looks st Sun as a possibility should xtrans, even with sitting the year and delaying their career, it would seem a better career plan than playing for BK. As far as recruits coming in, 'are they freakin nuts!' ? do you walk into a burning building?
