Notre Dame Football: Is Coach Kelly on the Hot Seat

[Irish Envy]

With the disappointing end to the 2011 season, many Irish fans are growing impatient with Brian Kelly and his staff and many are questioning whether Kelly is, indeed, the right man for the job.

WTF?

Kelly has proved to be successful when he has a proper coaching staff. He has made some poor calls (like passing on first and goal on the two) but he can't be solely responsible for the season of turnovers. Next year won't be easy with MI, MSU, SC, Stan (yes without Luck) and OK. If he won't be able to win with a in-the-works lighter schedule for 2014 with all of his recruits, we'll begin to see reasons instead of excuses.

For those of us who have watched Notre Dame football for many years and have lived through several Notre Dame national championship seasons, it was painfully obvious in the first game of this season how far the program had fallen over the last 15 years.

It did not take long for the astute Notre Dame football observer to see the lack of athleticism in the secondary, the lack of play making ability all over the field and the impending struggles the Irish would experience at the quarterback position.

How true. I mean nothing says "lack of playmakers all over the field" like putting up 508 total yards.
