The decided schematic advantage. We have talent. Hell we have THE coach of the year.
Just needed the decided schematic advantage.
Kelly needs to go. Embarrassing.
2) the offense that gets developed by working on your weaknesses in games during the season, rather than thinking you can just throw your way to a Championship without ever fixing the problems with your running game
Definitely agree. Kelly went 12-1 on a soft, shit schedule.
Iron sharpens iron. Playing a tough schedule all the time against elite teams will force then to improve.
The guy just went 12-1. There’s a lot of things that we need to improve on. Kelly is a good coach...not a great coach, but he’s good. He’s just not a big game coach. That’s fact.
We’ve also seen this happen to Urban Meyer with OSU, Dantonio with MSU, Peterson at Wash, Stoops at OU. We are as good as any team in America except for about ~4 (Bama, Clemson, Georgia, OU?). And last yr we almost beat Georgia.
End of the day let’s be fair - ND is actually educating students. These other schools aren’t. And in 1980, the % of top 100 players that were actually interested in being educated? It was a big #. That’s different now. Truth is that ND will never give up on educating the student athlete.
But when you say Kelly needs to go, you’re a clown.
He went 12-1 on a soft shit schedule. He can't win big games against elite teams and coaching.
If you're ok with never winning a NC or a playoff game, then yes keep your sorry ass "Coach of the year".
If you wanna win he's gotta go along with Swarbrick.
Get a fucking clue! Kelly is the best coach since Holtz and you don't have any fucking idea who would replace him. Soft schedule? He and his team play the schedule that is put in front of them and they took care of business (12-1). Just stfu.
When you're finished with your Tourettes episode, look at this objectively.
We played a soft schedule and Clemson has great coaches. Our coaches were lost as usual and made no adjustments (I'll exclude Lea and the defense they held their own with no offensive help).
Kelly can't win big games. His players are never ready and look/play scared.
Agreed. Tired of losing in big games.
creative game plan.
Any semblance of coaching in a big game.

Kelly had no answer. Team was lost on offense. Yes Book has no arm strength but Kelly and Long should know that and work around it and make adjustments. Runs the ball on 3rd and 10? Give me a break.
Irish did get screwed on the fumble and interception calls but you can't put the loss on that alone.
ND has talent. They had enough to beat Clemson IMO. They wouldn't beat Bama but they could've won tonight with a better coach and game plan.
Once again Kelly proves we really didn't belong because of his mediocrity. He needs to go along with Swarbrick.
Because of admissions standards? You are telling me we had better talent than Clemson?
I am confused?
I thought we lost 30-3 because of admissions standards?
Oh and cold weather?
I never said ND lost because of admission standards. That was you fighting with JRo in the chat room like a teenage girl.
ND lost because Dabo and his assistants are light years ahead of Kelly and his. ND has a coaching problem.
I also agreed with you when you said we played a soft schedule. We did.
