that were mentioned here... has actually happened. It's nice that you're assuming that the baby steps (dwarf baby steps?) will get us there at some undefined point in the future, but that's just an assumption on your part against 10 years of hard data.
Kelly's major accomplishments are the undefeated seasons. I give him credit there as that is no small feat. However, capping each one with an utterly embarrassing blowout tarnishes the accomplishment and doesn't provide any comfort that it's a true step towards sustained real success.
(Also, as an aside, Kelly will lose to an unranked team soon enough. Hell, Michigan was all of #19...and beat us like a red-headed stepchild...)
