great job bringing ND back, but if he wasn't so hell-bent on his stubborn way, ND would be A LOT further along. Maybe consistently in the top 5 the last 5 years or more. Talent has been at ND for quite a while, but coaching has been lacking. Kelly has squandered A LOT of talent in his tenure. A LOT.
If we compare the talent of players to talent they play against, then we should also compare the talent of our coaches to that of the coaches they coach against. For a number of years, our coaching decisions have been inferior to that of our opponents. More so than the talent gap between the players on the field.
To be consistently good, we are going to need a lot more from our coaches. Less so at this point than our players.
