Yep, kelly is at a terrible disadvantage when it come to the college football landscape. Let's discuss a few of them.
The following is not meant to be all inclusive. For starters, there's no advantage to our players being on national television weekly for 4 years. What other school can say that? There's no advantage to being the best known catholic university in the world. Our facilities are superior and being upgraded. There's no advantage to us being # 1 in placing players in the NFL. There's no advantage to being in the top 10 for current NFL players. There's no advantage to us having the most members in the NFL Hall of Fame. We are tied with players, but DeBartolo puts us at 13. There's no advantage to us having the second most NFL pro bowlers. There's no advantage to having the most Heisman's. There's no advantage to being co-ed and having an all girls school up the road. Our national championship record and tradition speaks for itself. Our commitment to off field academic excellence is an advantage.
Our biggest disadvantage is having a head coach that is basically a zero when it comes to personality and someone who can't cut it on the field. In addition, recruits know he is someone that lacks loyalty and openly lies. His behavior has been lambasted/vilified by many media sources and there are plenty of recruits/parents/families that are turned off by him. He has been involved in scandalous/ignorant behavior since his days at cmu. In addition, we have had scandal after scandal under his watch. His behavior, that behavior and our inability to deliver consistent winning big game performances are examples of detriments/hindrances to our recruiting. Fortunately, the historic long term Notre Dame tradition/reputation of excellence can overcome plenty of warts.
You are so far over your skis about DII and lower tier coaching as validation it's laughable. Your admitting to taking 'roids while in school tells me all I need to know about your integrity, moral compass and sportsmanship. Talk about "stupid".....
