Of course BK should be fired. Does anybody think he will win a NC at Notre Dame in the next couple of years? I don't, not with his style of football. Offense can put up points but is inconsistent and makes too many mistakes. Defense can't stop anybody and that isn't going to get it done.

The standard at ND is winning NC and playing in big bowl games. Joke about it but that is the standard and ND should go get the guy that will get them there.

Yeah, I initially thought Abu was delusional early in this thread because I'm thinking, are they really going to do much better than BK? It seemed natural having a fiery Irish guy in there, but the style may not be a good fit, and he seems to be uncomfortable under the microscope. Bottom line, BK is a good coach, but probably needs to be somewhere else a little lower profile. It's easy to be a swinging dick at CMU or Cincy, not so much at ND.

Funny how timing works out. I would have killed for BK (and Les!) at Michigan, but it just didn't quite work for when he was available -- I also read at some point that Michigan had concerns about BK's drinking or something.

ND is playing with some fire by getting rid of him, though. Michigan eventually lucked out with Harbaugh, but it took a lot of pain to get to the point where they could get him there. Could be a decade of 6-6 football coming. I wouldn't bail on him for one bad season, but if these are systemic problems, then that's an issue.
