Brian Kelly's record vs top 10 opponents is atrocious

This article came out the end of last year, so it sums up his ND career up til this season.
His response from the article, when asked why his teams always come up short vs ranked opponents:
So I guess being "in the games" is enough for him. Who need to win them, right?
This year they've only played one top-10 team and that was when they lost to Cincy.
Y'all can sunshine pump this hire all you want, but the dudes record vs ranked opponents is terrible. And that was at ND, now he'll be playing much superior competition week in and week out. He is not a big game coach. We're looking at 8-4 and 9-3 seasons until this old frick gets fired in 4-5 years. Yay?

Expanding it further, Kelly is 3-8 against opponents ranked in the top 10 at Notre Dame. Five of the eight losses were by 14 points or more, including that 28-point loss to Alabama in 2012 — the last time Notre Dame played for a national championship.

"I mean, we're knocking on the door every year playing really good teams and great opponents," Kelly responded. "There's elite football teams. I don't know why this narrative continues to pop up when we're always in the games."

That's Notre Dame for you

Talent gap due to admission standards at ND
Posted on 11/29/21 at 7:49 pm to RUFshreve
Did he have LSU’s talent?
Posted on 11/29/21 at 7:49 pm to RUFshreve
Because Notre Dame has been at an athletic disadvantage. LSU will not be.
Posted on 11/29/21 at 7:50 pm to RUFshreve
Now give Kelly LSU-level talent and see what happens
Posted on 11/29/21 at 7:51 pm to RUFshreve
Now do Riley

Your deranged melt proves it’s an incredible hire. What’s his record against LSU again?

Dude just think about it for a minute. Read the article again. Then think about why he would leave Notre Dame for LSU

O has an excellent record against top 10 teams. Sometimes there’s more context to one stat line
Posted on 11/29/21 at 7:55 pm to RUFshreve
He doesn’t have near the talent those elite teams have.
Posted on 11/29/21 at 7:55 pm to RUFshreve
Oh really? People have been telling me how good his record is all afternoon.

He didn’t take over a program two years removed from a NC with a ton of talent there for the taking. When did they last win? ‘88?

So if you put him here with the same players as Orgeron I guarantee you he would have a better record than Orgeron.
Anybody that brings up this shite can take your arse to the back. Go be a fan of the faggies.

Saving this post next to some frozen crow in my freezer.
But before I go, tell me who is the coach that has all those Top 10 victories that is available?

Exactly, what was O’s record against top 10 opponents?
Can’t spin this hire as anything other than what it is, we swung for the fences and ended up settling for a guy most Norte Dame fans are happy to see go.

Now do every single football coach we've ever hired in the history of our program?
Posted on 11/29/21 at 8:11 pm to RUFshreve
Biggest problem I have with the deal is if it’s true about the 100+million dollar contract. Why? He wasn’t in the top 50 in salaries and schools weren’t beating down his door. Why pay so damn much?
