Well, they were ranked pretty high by the AP/Coaches at the start of the year...so it wasn't just the message board. On paper there's no reason this team shouldn't have won 10 games given the talent and how much they achieved despite injuries last season. Given that all of the losses except for one were decided by one score, it's easy to see why people thought that way.

But yes, to play devil's advocate, the board is delusional at times. People here still thought we could/would bring in Herman to replace Kelly, like there weren't bigger fish than ND...not to mention some people still throwing around names like Urban and Saban. We'd have better luck trying to resurrect the corpse of Rockne to coach the team next year.

People simply underestimated Kelly's incompetence.

It's not just to wait until Wednesday, Kelly is out for his in-home visits. Jack allowing the meeting to take place after that leads credence to the thought that Kelly is coming back.

So we're going to burn all of our inhome visits, then fire that coach that went in home? That might actually be the dumbest possible outcome for ND. I realize if they keep BK this made sense, but if they turn around and fire him, how dumb.

And I will add, every d@mn draft site had/has Kizer going 1st round, 1st quarterback with Watson, Mayfield, and Wentz in the draft..... hell yes I would have thought at least 9 - 10 wins

You give too much credit to paper talent. Our D is garbage. And I don't think we are that talented on that side of the ball. And don't give me the recruiting service stuff....Just watch film.

I never saw our D being any good this year. Way too many holes.

And we were very suspect at WR and TE (after AJ dumbed out). ESB is a helluva surprise, but everyone else was blah.

Who do you want to replace Kelly and BVG?

FWIW, ISD seems to think that the meeting happens tomorrow and we'd know right before or after if BK is being retained or not.

Did anybody catch how Mike was suggesting that when Denbrock scripted the plays for the beginning of the game everything went well but later in the game Kelly became involved that is when everything stagnated.

You are truly unbearable, so sure. If BK is still our coach on February 1, 2017 I will take a month off from posting. If he is not our coach you take a month off and hopefully never come back.

The mods have collectively pooled our annual Christmas bonuses that we get from IE's owners, and rather than buying ourselves all of the things, we are paying a portion of Kelly's buyout.

No trip to Destin this year? For shame....

I think you either didn't read the posts or are missing the point.... the subject is if we all thought the Irish could/would have won 9-10 games this year in August/September.........

One month? I thought you said big boy pants. How about one year?

LOL. I am a moderator. Not going to force someone else to take on that responsibility. And I would be stupid to take that bet when you have like 75% odds.

Besides EQ I thought Stepherson was pretty good. Excited to see more of him in the future. Losing Alize really hurt. OL didn't quite gel as well as I would have hoped. Thought defense would have been improved in year 3 of BVG. Way wrong on that one. Also hurt losing an experienced Redfield and Crawford in the secondary.

Wentz has looked good. Eagles might actually have a SB caliber QB.

I like Stepherson's future but in a "normal" year he would have come on the field once every couple of possessions to run a streak or a deep post. ND sorely missed a T.J. Jones type who could get some separation on routes inside of 15 yards.

I'm sure there are more than enough people who would be willing to "take on that responsibilty" (lol @ that btw); but fair enough. However, let's not pretend to be wearing big boy pants when really we're just wearing pull-ups.
