Kelly is the master at throwing others under the bus. Last night it was "every position is up for grabs." Today it's his DC getting canned. I've never once heard him own a mistake and he's made plenty.

I hated that toolbag. In that travesty of a game during Hoke's last year, the cameras kept zooming in on him every time our offense did something stupid and he was constantly jumping up and down and had the huge smile on his punchable face.

Such a toolbag. Hope they have like 3 to 5 more losses and just fall apart with a new d-coordinator. I can see Stanford, Miami and USC at the end of the year taking care of them. Goodbye recruits and hello to Michigan boys! They are going to get whats coming to them in 2018.

I suppose losing the title "team with best winning percentage in college football history" to Michigan has something to do with this too... Probablly not, but I'd like to think so.

I know people don't like Kelly, but he is a gifted offensive mind and has won everywhere he has been. If I was a Notre Dame fan I would be concerned that this is as good as its going to get for them.

Pretty smart move by BK. Now that ND's schedule lightens up, they can win six or seven of their last eight games and BK can say, "see, it was all that chump Van Gorder's fault."

Lightens up after....Duke? Nobody on their schedule looks awesome thus far but there is still a path to 5-7 in there. The purifying waters of Syracuse await them next week so i guess that's a plus.

Notre Dame could realistically lose out at home. All of their easier games are away from South Bend. 

 

They only have 3 home games remaining: 

  • #7 Stanford
  • #14 Miami
  • Virginia Tech: a team that has blown out its last two opponents, is close to entering the top 25, and has a track record of pulling off upsets in iconic Midwest stadiums as of late (looking at you, Ohio State)

I'd be shocked if Notre Dame has a better than 1-5 record in South Bend this year (with the one win already occuring over terrible Nevada). 

 

Navy looks good this year and could pose a problem for the Irish. And USC is also struggling, but I think they have more natural talent than Notre Dame and the game is in Los Angeles. ND will struggle to get to 6 wins. 

 

Beautiful fact: Both Purdue and Indiana have more wins than Notre Dame

I seriously doubt Mattison would even consider going to coach with a man who is on his last leg at Notre Dame. Talk about a downgrade of a move. To go from being a know extremely well paid assistant on a top 5 defense to the head of a defense that couldn't stop Duke. It's a matter of time until Kelly is gone.

No surprise at all. I kinda figured this was going to happen, but thought it may have been delayed until he end of the season. They are in serious risk of missing a bowl game.
