I'd much rather see them have a great year so Brian Kelly will take a position somewhere else. I cannot ignore the fact that the man does not want to be at Notre Dame. He essentially "phoned it in last year" and the results showed on the field. What concerns me is another 7-5 or 8-4 season which would keep him around even longer. It is a win/win for Notre Dame if they can conjure up an 11-1 or 10-2 season. That may attract the likes of NFL teams attempting to poach Kelly. In that case, ND is off the hook for the buyout. However, I just cannot see how this squad can put together a record such as that.
