And that's the success of the program. We shouldn't be rooting against a good season because we don't like Brian Kelly. Personally, I think if he is retained and they go 9-3, he would be fired. If the three losses come against the good teams then we aren't elite. If they are to mediocre teams then he's losing to teams he shouldn't.
Now if they were to go 10-2, then keeping him was probably the right move. And remember, the team is set up to be better because he recruited some talented players.
I believe they should let him go now, but I'm not going to root against a good season because that's my view. I'd hope to be proven wrong.
