If Notre Dame had fired Brian Kelly after the 2016 debacle and was replaced by a coach who:
1) Made the college football playoff in 2018;
2) Beat a #1-ranked team;
3) Lost to no teams that were clearly inferior;
4) Went 41-6 and was 8-0 in his fourth season;
5) Gradually but noticeably improved recruiting and the S&C program,
we would all be ecstatic. And that's pretty much what happened after 2016. But Notre Dame didn't fire Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly fired Brian Kelly. And thank goodness he did.
