When Kelly was hired at ND, I had pegged him for exactly what he has proven to be as a person. He seems to lack a very basic understanding of leadership and his behavior under pressure while at Cincy was a total failure on virtually every occasion that I witnessed. I did not want him anywhere near the program, but he got hired as he was an upgrade in ability to create a better program than Charlie Weis. Yet, I wondered.
What he did at LSU from the start seemed to me to raise many red flags for a failure alert. He became the man he wanted to be....and one no one liked or respected.
It is hard to imagine that any BCS school would hire him again as their head coach after creating two massive failures to two fan bases of elite programs.
Where he goes from here and if he can evolve into a respectful human will be interesting to follow
