Those close losses to Clemson on the road and FSU on the road could have been so big for Kelly’s record.
Both really could have been wins, one extra yard by kizer, or the poor rub block call that called it back on gholson. Those are the darn games that would give us relevance, but instead we couldn’t pull it out.

Why is it that Flutie is on the broadcast? Its so embarrassing and irritating to hear him week in and week out.

The play call was an option for the QB. If Kelly made a mistake here, it is that he gave
Kizer the option to look for the numbers advantage with the stacked WR’s. I was furious
about the call when it occurred, but if you look at the replay pre-snap, I can see why he
went for it. If Hunter makes the block, it’s a TD. While I’d have preferred to sneak it or
simply run it up the gut, I’d have been equally pissed if we’d run into a stacked box and
gotten stuffed, and then they showed the pre-snap on replay and we had a 2-on-1 on the
outside that, if executed, results in a TD. The more football I watch, the more I see that
the difference between a successful play and an unsuccessful play generally comes down to
winning your one on ones and execution. You can blame Kelly and the coaches for doing a
poor job in teaching our WR’s to block (but you’d need to demonstrate that this is a recurring
problem). You can certainly get on Kelly about the consistently boneheaded Special Teams play.
But that was not a bad call… it was poorly executed.

Flutie is perfect for the farce coverage on NBC.
i long for the non over hyped coverage.
Just 10 point victories over every meaningful opponent, it let that result speak for itself.

when the big people join the biggest loser and focus just on weight loss they lose 150 pounds to 200 pounds

when top talent is not focused on football, it atrophies and becomes mediocre.

Term limits on coaches capped at 10.
Correct to not have too much power given to one guy.

Dude a far better football program than ND?
ND has beaten OKlahoma, Stanford, and LSU in the time frame.
Let’s not annoint PSU a far better football program, theyve had a meaningful bowl win over uga, ours was lsu.
Maybe a push btwn psu and ND.

They game plan against OSU every year.
We game plan against no one consistently and expect stellar results.
IT’s like comparing apples to oranges.

Brian Kelly isn’t allowed to be an ass b/c fans and admin try to mold him into soemthing he’s not. Gee coach, I’d like you to win a national championship with a middle of the pack staff salary for your coaches, I’d like you to also graduate at a 95% rating, I”d like you to also have everything so perfectly correagraphed like the Masters tournament on NBC every saturday.

Sounds pretty easy.

If ND had sway, they should get the dam cameras off these guys all the time, that includes HBO specials, NBC coaching footage on the sidelines.

And miles once remember guys school first and football second, with his fingers in the air TWO when he said school first and football second ONE finger in the air.

Do you think kelly really wants to be swaying with his team, he’s not himself, and its a joke, sorry.
