- He went 54-9 his final five seasons here - Fisher01 - 3:55pm 9/29/25
  - How many of those 54 were against ranked teams? [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 7:27am 9/30/25
  - Only took him until year 8 to get things rolling and still never beat a Top 15 in the post-season. [NT] - Chrisb - 8:32pm 9/29/25
    - Lots of lost opportunities during Kelly 1.0 - ndunabomber - 10:04pm 9/29/25
      - #1 issue with BK, once he losses 1 game there typically more on the horizon... - Chrisb - 12:40pm 9/30/25
  - Absolutely. I would rather have a beer with Marcus, but lest [NT] - murph78 - 5:52pm 9/29/25
    - Sorry, bad typing - lest we forget, Kelly did well here. [NT] - murph78 - 5:53pm 9/29/25
      - 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

        What’s your take on CFP chances? Seems like Deja vu we were having this same discussion a year ago [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 11:06am 9/30/25
        Right! So last year I thought if we won out we were definitely in, but this year - Chrisb - 12:31pm 9/30/25
        Well thought out - WoodstockIrish - 3:02pm 9/30/25
        My guess... - Chrisb - 10:34pm 9/30/25
        Sucks that USC lost and isn’t ranked - WoodstockIrish - 6:18pm 10/1/25
  - He's a very good coach - ndunabomber - 5:23pm 9/29/25
    - He's a slightly above average coach. Great win % vs inferior teams... - Chrisb - 8:38pm 9/29/25
  - 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
    - Yep, people forget what an actual bad coach looks like - Kelly was very good at his job [NT] - Fisher01 - 11:35am 9/30/25
