Kelly was a good choice at the time and WAS the right guy to bring the program back to a certain...

level after the three stooges who preceded him. It turned out he could not generally win (and sometimes not even compete in) the big game and could only attain (maintain) a certain level. Once this became apparent, he should have been let go and another up and coming HC WITH EXPERIENCE should have been tried.

Kelly should never have been allowed to hang around at his pleasure. Yes, it may have cost a good 2018 season, but being stuck with a purple ceiling became its own curse of sorts...
