UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

Just expressing my point of view, and while I'm no fan of Kelly I'm not specifically trying to bash him.

I just happen to think tracking the progress of Freeman vs his predecessors (including Davie 17-11, ty 17-11, Weis 19-9, and Kelly 18-10 at ND/20-8 at LSU) has value, especially with all the voices out there who were already calling for Freeman's head coming into this season. Since Kelly's first 28 games at LSU is the only comparison that is as good as Freeman at this point, it's the only one I thought worthy of mentioning.

However, the way I see it because of the narrative Kelly painted when he left here, the more stark the difference in success of MF here vs BK there, the better it is for Notre Dame.

I realize it's a fact they are both 20-8, that was the whole point of the post. The guy with 34 years experience who went to the place that would supposedly unbridle him, has the same record as the guy still learning on the job. Their trajectories appear to be going in different directions and I'm here for that.

There's a very real possibility that by the end of this season BK could be at 28-13 with MF at 31-10, with the gap continuing to grow after that.

If that happens, it won't be Chrisb talking about this, it will be the national media and I'm here for that as well.
