Kelly may be a bit of an asshole, but the man could coach. I was happy to have him after the Dave/Willingham/Weis purgatory.

That being said coaching in the SEC is a different animal (and the reverse is true). Not surprised he is struggling a bit.

      - Applaud Kelly for what he did. It can’t be denied that he rebuilt a moribund program. - Sjnd5359 - 1:17pm 10/3/25
      - Well? He was dragging down our all time win % his first 11 seasons. [NT] - Chrisb - 8:33pm 9/29/25
        Before Kelly got here ND was making Tate Forcier a Heisman candidate [NT] - Fisher01 - 11:35am 9/30/25

  - Didn't care for him one way or the other but he had a pretty good career at ND - NDQuebec - 4:45pm 9/29/25
