No I'm not talking about 18 year old recruits, sorry if that's what you want. I deal in reality.
The other ND site is clearly opposed to Kelly and every action he takes is trashed which isn't fair. I believe he wants to win, why wouldn't he, but on that site those that support Kelly are shouted down or removed from posting. This board is more tolerant, there are some blatant homers who live in a land of make believe that after 8 years Kelly can still get the team to the promised land while clinging to the theory that it could be worse and for whatever reason cling to the position that ND can't get a better coach than Kelly. That in itself is self defeating. Much more believe, like me, the silent majority, that Kelly is a fraud, albeit an earnest one unlike Ty and Charlie, and are lying in wait for an "I told you so". In the meantime, they stay silent with the vocal homers cheering and making apologies and excuses for any bad news. Once in a while they enter the fray only to be shouted down as anti-ND, players, etc. What's more important, please tell me on this board who believes this team and program is close to winning a National Championship? I'm tried of reading that a 10 win season is great against a tough schedule. I know Kelly will never win a national championship at ND. Come forward those that support the present regime and tell me when ND wins one? Isn't that the goal or are you content with just having a good season, if so you have settled. Lou Holtz was run out of town after winning a national championship and playing at the highest level, Kelly are you serious?
