If we don't have a top 5 team next year we aren't going to have one under Kelly's tenure at Head Coach

No way they are top 5 next year. Wish it wasn't true but there is just not something right about this team.

Overreact much people? Jeebus. Kelly made some poor calls in the 4th, but let's not forget that players failed to execute. How many turnovers did ND have today? You can't blame the coach for that.

But yes, Kelly made crucial mistakes. Kelly inexplicably went for 2 points. Running it with your supposedly most reliable RB made sense too. Sure, you could almost run out the clock, but might as well run it and try to get a first down.

And the defense. It's thin. Several players are beat up. Couple that with the season suspensions, and you have a defense that starts to get burned far more often than it used to.

The whole day felt flukey. The whole team seemed a bit off. Lots of little things add up. NW just outplayed ND. You could tell who was going to win the game looking at the sidelines as the game went into overtime.

Golson's not good enough to beat great teams with his turnovers.

The Florida State game was less than a month ago...

For a great 2015 season, Notre Dame needs depth on the DL and LB more than anything. As crazy as Golson's turnovers have been (and he needs to improve no doubt), he's only responsible for the Arizona State loss. The defense has fundamental problems that are more glaring in my opinion.

And safety. Safeties are unreal levels of bad. Not even MAC level right now.

Yeah, and Notre Dame simply isn't at the point where they reload every season. It's been a every-other-year sorta deal. 2010 was building for 2011. 2012 was building for 2013. 2014 is building for 2015.

That's just how it's going to be.

I could settle for this if it happened.

I don't feel that way at all. I get that Diaco's recruiting left ND horribly thin at DL and LB and they're paying for it right now though.

I'm honestly worried at this point about the defense. 43 points and over 500 yards to NW is absolutely inexcusable. We are in mid-November and 10 games into the season so the whole true freshman, young players bit is played out.

Why are they still blitzing guys starting 10 yards away from the LOS?

Drug Tranquill just can't be in covergae. Kid can't move. Way too stiff. Also wasn't athletic enough to recover that fumble. Knocked it out of Farley hands right out of bounds.

What you see happening is all these 3 star/low 4 star recruits at safety and defensive end that everyone made excuses for are clearly not cutting it. They aren't players that would start for any top 10 team. And the scary thing is that we don't have any elite recruits coming in at those positions next year.

This post is horribly off topic but whatever.

I just don't get his thinking

Kelly on two-pt attempt: "In retrospect, there's no advantage" to going up 13 instead of 12. Still felt two was better in light of kicking.

If you can't count on a PAT then kicking 40+ yarder instead of going for 4th & 2 in OT makes no sense.

I'm not saying we should fire him by any stretch. Best coach we've had in a long time. I've just come to the realization he's more Mark Richt (minus the Sugar Bowl wins) and way less Nick Saban/Urban Meyer.

I do not need to read anything in this thread. Quinn needs to be called yesterday and Golson needs to be benched if he has another turnover. This is worse to me than the Tulsa loss. Unacceptable anyway you look at it. This is the most disappointed I have ever been as a fan. Northwestern is a bad team and we are not. Again, I am very disappointed here. If anyone disputes this they are ridiculous.

The kicking game is making us question whether we should go for 2 or not, which shouldn't be a decision imo, should have gone for one. Obviously it's more on the holder than on the kicker at this point in the season, but Brindza struggled today too. It's all just frustrating.
