I don't know that his salary is relevant, but I get what you're saying. Not everyone makes Brian Kelly money and some of the stuff that gets thrown out at them leans to the negative. Success doesn't really sell. A lot of people are loving life that Notre Dame is 0-2 right now. That sells better.I sort of agree that it would be annoying if I were a coach, but also it comes with the territory of being paid a $100M contract and having everything in the world at your disposal. When the expectation is to be the best team in the country and win a championship, the conversation is naturally going to skew negative because either you're "capital-G" Great or you're failing. If he wants to just win football games and everyone be happy, he can always take a job at Miami (OH).
With that said, LSU is 3-0. I'm taking that right now even if it comes with a few warts and things that need to be worked on. Kelly has also never started 3-0 there and it's year four.
I think reporters could do a better job of wording and framing these questions. Definitely provide stats. This guy came right out of the gate with the sarcastic remark to begin followed by the question in the way he phrased it. It wasn't going to go well for him.
