“We have a great car here at Notre Dame, and our head mechanic is doing a fantastic job keeping it going. True, the engine doesnt run well, the transmission slips, the body has more holes in it than a Swiss Cheese factory, the tires are flat, and we’re still using 8Track technology when other teams are using WiFi/Bluetooth music, but remember: we get the greatest parts from around the country, and dont these parts know where they are?

Obviously, it’s not our mechanic, it’s the driver. Theoretically, this car can go from 0-60 in 3 seconds if it had tires, etc. but that’s on the driver. Still, week after week, our head mechanic continues to put the polish on this turd while trying to sell us on his great work. Unfortunately, the final results are all that matters – this car needs junked and rebuilt with a competent, up to speed mechanic who knows how to both build the car with all these great parts, but continue to make it better every game.”

My God, I am thankful this team is on a Bye week. I have no doubts that Brian Kelly is coaching this polished turd up for their upcoming debacle against Miami U, and that at least 4-5 players will be benched because they’re not executing Kelly’s boring and predictable offense to the letter.

This season cant end soon enough. I never thought, as a ND fan, that I would say that.

Swarbrickb- resign and take your pet monkey Kelly with you. If I’m the university, I’d see if they can mitigate that horrible and undeserved extension Kelly got. Obviously they learned nothing from the Charlie Weis incident.

Swarbrick just said Kelly will be back in 2017 and I can only conclude that Kelly will remain coach for life since the university has lowered their expectations for the football program. Success has been defined downward as a winning record and a bowl game. In other words MEDIOCRITY is the new norm under the Swarbrick Kelly partnership.

If that’s the goal then ND should just join the B1G so they can be a punching bag for Michigan and tOSU.

I am hoping that this comment is merely to avoid a distraction during this season, but if not then Swarbrick needs to go right along with Kelly.

This is an absolute disaster, from the athletic director to the coach. I have a feeling that Swarbrick and Kelly are tied together in this mess and ND has to lose both in order to move forward.

Something tells me that both Swarbrick and Kelly are here next season, and that things will get worse.

Such a proud program once. Now, it’s in shambles.

Take either the Air Force or Navy coaches. Both do great jobs with highly restricted talent. Why can’t ND be the team taking out opponents at the knees each week! If you want DISCIPLINE these guys can dish it out like nobody else. They are not used to guys going pro but could get used to it. I also like Fleck but he may be too big of a nutcase for ND. Should have given the job to Urban after the ’93 season and have enjoyed the previous dozen NC’s that would have followed. Kelly is a used car salesman with nothing left to sell. Get him off the lot. From a high level view, ND is not the same place as it was in the late 90’s and does not have the ability to be a power football program anymore. It’s the kind of school I always hated, the Duke of the midwest, a bunch of privileged pantie waste kids with SAT’s out the roof and they lack the ability to finish a single Hairy_Buffalo in one night. Maybe we can bring in Lane Kiffen and just finish off the program completely.

If Kelly were winning most of his games and had won a national championship…no one above would care that much whether or not he was yelling at players or seemed out of control at times. So many of the great coaches were tough with their players during and after the games on the practice field. Saban is extremely tough. Woud you take him and about four national championships. I say not many would care if he ran up and down the sidelines carrying a chain saw if he was doing for Notre Dame what he is doing for Alabama. Do you read any complaints from Alabama fans that he loses his composure too much or yells too much at his players and coaches. There aren’t any!

We can’t give him another chance. Lets look at Tom Herman from Houston. He will probably leave now after Big 12 said no to adding any new teams. This is the easiest schedule Notre Dame has had in 10 years. They should be undefeated with all the talent. Its been bad coaching all year.
