Brian Kelly to LSU, per report

[Irishdrunk]

It’s tiring though. Just b/c Twitter choads can’t resist taking a shot at BK doesn’t mean the entire fanbase hates the guy. It continues to feed the LSU narrative & makes the ND fan base look petty.

That what I could never understand about the whole situation. Both sides were petty. BK left just like he came to ND - short shifting his former employer. And we as ND fans should be upset and surprised?

If ND is the world class destination and program - the better response would be: "Bye-bye and Next."

Instead you get this vitriol and hatred from ND fans and ND Analysts. Like BK was their wife that just left them...LMAO

Um really?? Talk about strong support for their HC.

Count me liking Saban, Smart and more than a few others. And I like Kelly but that is crazy.

So next year they plan to video the sex party?

I was thinking more along the lines of a produced movie instead of grainy cell phone footage...

I was always a BK supporter and appreciated how he got the program back to national prominence. The fact of the matter is he left in an immature fashion which I can complain about whether some like it or not. What has really frosted my balls is the fact that he could have done more simply by putting in the effort to recruit like MF. Maybe we have that NC or at least looked competitive in a NCG.

If only BK hadn't flirted with the NFL after the 2013 NCG... he pulls a top 5 class on the momentum from 2012 then goes outside the top 10 for the next 4-5 years. I really believe that flirtation cost him his opportunity to elevate the Irish to the tier 1 level. Whether that could be sustainable is debatable given this current landscape of CFB.

That certainly didn't help.

We went from the highest of highs in December 2012 to a deep dark pit in January.

BK was the best coach we’ve had in 40 years. Let’s not kid ourselves

40 years?!

I’m 30 years old and I was alive for Holtz, albeit I don’t remember any of it lol.

That’s not saying much and it’s not true.

2023 is the year for closure. Brian Kelly isn’t the coach of Notre Dame. Marcus Freeman is the coach of Notre Dame.

He didn’t even any to be here anymore. He was a good coach no one will deny that. He didn’t want to do the MF recruiting.

There you’ve went and pissed off Lou.

 

[Giddyup]

Who was better after Holtz? It’s been a really long time since Lou.

 

[Giddyup]

BK basically saved this program.

 

[Giddyup]

Another 10 years of people joking on ND could have collapsed the program into apathy.

No

Not 40 years

You do realize many schools have gone longer than ND without doing anything, and then became great again. It’s literally the history of college football. The majority of the pain ND has gone through is self inflicted wounds about sticking to traditions that at one time were innovations. That and the admissions. The only thing I give credit to Kelly is he kept ND in the discussion during his time but his big game record is an absolute joke. Name another supposed elite coach with BK’s record in big games?

 

[Giddyup]

Pfft. You guys are delusional

 

[Giddyup]

We were a laughing stock before his 10-12 win seasons

 

[ulukinatme]

He's not better than Lou. Lou has a statue and a national championship. Lou beat #1 teams at their peak.

Move them goal posts Giddyup. You said 40 years. Now that you got called out you're tapping dance like Ginger Rogers. No one is delusional. If you would have said best since Lou, no one would have said a thing.

 

[CoachB]

BK was easily our best coach SINCE Lou.

 

[dublinirish]

BK would never have come on IE thats for sure

 

[IrishSteelhead]

IIRC, Weis was the one who finally got a training table at ND.

What are some other off the field triumphs coaches have had in making the program more competitive in the modern world?

I’m genuinely curious who is responsible for what in terms of where the program is from a positive contribution standpoint, not trying to flame any coaches.
