All of the character issues regarding Kelly (Sullivan, Seeberg, Frozen 5) were known after last year's 10 win season and no one in the national media had the balls to say shit about it.
Now that he's 4-8 the character assassinations are flowing in. Basically saying all this is OK if you win (which is counter to the point they are trying to make).
We'll see the same articles about Saban (who had a player arrested with guns get no suspension this year), Meyer (who coached Aaron Hernandez and had tons of arrests at FL), and Harbaugh (a well-known hot-head) if the on-field results fall off.
Bottom line is 4-8 isn't good enough at ND, so Kelly should be fired. There are plenty of coaching failures to discuss why he ended up 4-8, but that would require these guys to actually watch the games so they know what those are. Easier to just google search past issues and compile it into one character assassination.
a script for an anti-Kelly "article," in the belief that enough of them would create a panic within the admin -- akin to the panic at the prospect of a demonstration by white students demanding the firing of a black coach "contributed" to the firing of Willingham on the day the protest was organized to happen -- has failed. The strategy didn't work. The same "article" with minor variations is now just a joke. It was a desperate, and despicable, strategy of character assassination to begin with. But in light of the recent election what we've learned about electronic/social media storms, and what the ND admin hopefully learned, is that it all evaporates if you just ignore it. You only make it effective retrospectively by reacting to it. (Hey, a Catholic institution should know all about immanent causation.) Kudos to the admin for growing up.

I mean he dances and sings with his players! Isn't that likeable?
