Tim Prister said on his podcast yesterday that Brian Kelly should get a statue.
The reason: he won the most games in ND history.

He must have been crazy, drunk, or the statement is being taken out of context.
No way in hell he should be getting a statue.
Let’s play a game: Ara, Devine, Knute, Holtz, Kelly. Which one doesn’t fit?
Takes at least one Natty, and that’s just the beginning.
Kelly didn’t do wonders for the program. 2016 was a disaster. Not until Swarbrick made him get
a new OC, new DC and new SC coach did the program begin to turn around. The culture changed then. Not sure we should attribute that to BK.
George O’Leary ( or Oh Really?) never lost a game. Give that man a statue.

No matter. He'll bitch that it's not solid gold.

Any mention of bob Davies?

Or perhaps even Bob Davie? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Surely, Fuzzy Faust deserves a statue.

George Keogan deserves a statue. Brey and Kelly do not. Statues are for NC coaches.

He was an outstanding coach - no question about it
And he does deserve a statue. Hard not to admit he was a polarizing figure though. Then ditching ND for another gig - which I do not think has happened before, is a tough pill to swallow.
Statue for winning what exactly??

Deserving or not, the dude wouldn't even come back for the unveiling
If you're gonna put a statue of someone up, you'd want to make sure they are going to come back for the "celebration."
Might as well put one up of Willingham, too
After all, isn't he a trailblazer?
I know you're being facetious but Willingham/Weis,
Go down as worst ever..
Which hole on the golf course?
Should be where his focus was...
Potty squatting bronze in the team locker room.

A trailblazer to the landfill
Willingham almost destroyed the program by his shitty recruiting (2004, 2005 classes), along with his laziness and ineptitude.
Seriously... Trying to run a West Coast Offense with a triple option running quarterback?
Recruiting ONE offensive lineman in those last two classes of his?
BK was a polarizing figure. Did wonders for the program BUT......no Natty.

Get used to it!

TP should go back thru the schedules
and look at the big win vs terrible loss ratio. It's pretty out of whack, and not to the big win side.
Just because he was better than his 2 predecessors (who were 2 of the worst ever) doesn't make him great. Certainly not deserving of a plaque, let alone a statue.
Maybe a statuette in one of the bathrooms is appropriate in honor of his longevity. Some recognition is in order for winning just enough to not get fired.

Props to BK
…but statues are for Natty’s.
Posthumously, in around 30 years. Sure, why not if his heirs pay for it.

They can put it on Alabama's campus...in a fountain...under a statue of Saban pissing on him...

Notre Dame Campus is no place for a lawn gnome collection. Put it in your own yard….it will keep
crows, 5 star recruits, and big game wins away.
That right there is hilarious.

Only if it's him swinging a golf club with 2016 results as background, on the way
out of town.
Only if it's a statue of him grinding the back of the recruit on the disco stage.

No statue for Brian Kelly
I'm grateful for his finishing the rebuilding job that Weis started, and bringing us to top 10 contention on a consistent basis, but the fact that he couldn't get us over the hump means that he was simply a good, and yes, even very good, coach, is the limit of how far he could take us.
When I think of top tier ND coaches, I think of Knute, Frank, Ara, and Lou, and yes, even Dan Devine. Brian Kelly came somewhat close, but consistently failed to get us over the hump.
Besides, if you want to look at total wins, the vacated wins in Kelly's record puts him below Lou and Knute, and his percentage wins are nowhere near Ara's or Frank's.
That's par for the course for Prister
Kelly was looking for a way out for the last 5 years and slinked off like the worm he is
I have said the same and agree
No expense should be spared to hire the best culinary ice sculptor available.
Declan Sullivan was on Kelly’s watch. I’ll give him credit for turning around the program but he’s
Not worthy of a statue in my opinion especially considering the way he left.
That was a sad and preventable death, indeed.

Sure...then bury the statue...because he lost the most games in ND history...
Then there's the question of his forfeited games...
This isn't the first time he said this. His co-hosts always reject the idea.
Then, like he did yesterday, he tries to weasel out of if it by saying that he couldn't care one way or the other if Kelly gets a statue.
But that's not true because he keeps saying it.
Memo to Tim: STFU!
Sounds like Prister needs a Bud Light moment with the ND fans.

Absolutely not. No way. Erect a statue of Jess Harper. That I support.
34-5-1 while HC at ND. College Football Hall of Fame. Set the table for Rockne. Harp introduced a national schedule to the ND program and was a strong advocate of graduating his players. BTW, he was also the AD and HC for baseball and basketball. He had a winning record in all three sports he coached. BK couldn't carry Jess Harper's jockstrap.
I thought he was 47-13, or was that overall record..

According to und and wiki, Jess was 34-5-1 for ND football.

Harper 10X more deserving than Kelly
If we let Weis stick around long enough he could have won the most games in Notre Dame history.
Sorry, but being granted 12 years without a NC then shunning us for money is not the stuff of Notre Dame statues.
