I would say winning a Championship at Notre Dame is the ultimate level of success, and as with anything there are varying levels of success. I personally don't think it will take a Championship for Kelly's time at ND to be considered a success. Also, if we are being honest, Kelly has won championships before, just not at ND. He has also won numerous playoff games(also not at ND). The dude hasn't been unsuccessful at any stop he has had, which is admirable IMO. This profession eats coaches alive on a yearly basis, and there are a small minority that are successful, with an even smaller percentage reaching the pinnacle of winning a Championship. I hope with everything in me he gets a Championship because IMO HE DESERVES IT, and will have earned it.

10-11 win seasons are pretty cool. Learn to enjoy them and have fun instead of taking it for granted.

Meh, this is notre dame, the bar is set at national titles, not “really nice seasons”. Kelly won’t win one, bank that.

and no, I’m not interested in what he won in D2 or whatever. That’s a bunch of who-gives-a-shit.

Don't think Sark gets fired unless Texas loses out.

Even if they lose out, it would seem unlikely. They just got done with 24 million in payouts to Herman and his assistants. They would have about another 40 million to Sark and his assistants if they let him go.

Dark won’t get fired for at least one more season and probably two more.

Kelly is a success now, but sadly it just may not be in the cards for ND to win it all anymore. We would have to pull out all the stops from an athlete standpoint, and even then it's a tall order to get 5 stars to come to South Bend. Kelly has made ND relevant again, that's pretty commendable after decades of mediocrity.

We aren't the only ones laughing at Texas right now. Cant be stated enough: a winning culture is so important in college, more so than other sports. If you lose in the pros, you can draft higher the worse you perform. In high school, you get what you create (summer programs, elementary programs, etc). In college, showing kids that they will shine in the classroom and on the field, is crucial, and the only way to continued success.

Funny, just seconds ago I watched a video from the parents of the walk-on that caught that game winning catch. Pretty cool.

Kansas at home? You can't get much lower than that.

Having said that, Sark isn't going anywhere yet. He's trying to clean up some attitudes and change the culture with a bunch of guys he didn't recruit. As long as he shows progress, admin will give him as least two more years.

Kansas in a home night game, fyi.

I think it would be terribly foolish to fire Sarkisian after only one season, but if anyone is crazy and entitled enough to do that, it's Texas.

I dunno. Seems like Moro speaks the truth. Maybe they ought put him in front of the cameras more often.

Yikes. When I read Moro’s comments I thought they were great and trying to take some leadership on a toxic team. The Texas fans were loving it. He even called out NIL and some other stuff. Sark’s response is weak and why that program will remain losers.

What a bad human. He's projecting so much. "If people see me shouting at the intern whose job is to keep me from running the field prematurely, they'll see I'm intense and my team will respond with anger"

He's such a cliche of a weak-minded man projecting an image.

I'm sure none of us have ever behaved inappropriately for 14 seconds. Bad human confirmed.

Yeah but what if you’ve behaved inappropriately for 14 seconds on like three dozen occasions and this is just the mose recent?
