re: A history of BK at ND

For his original staff, BK brought in Chuck Martin, the GVSU (DII school) head coach, to be DB coach at ND. Chuck Martin had never been part of a P5 program in any capacity, not as a player, a GA, an assistant. That may not be that terrible of a move for a DB coach, but following the 2011 season, he promoted Chuck Martin to OC. You read that right, he promoted a DB coach with no OC experience and only 2 years of P5 football experience to be OC, not at a mid-level high school program but at Notre Dame. Kelly 1.0 bottomed out in 2016 at 4-8 with Brian Van Gorder (a GVSU crony) coordinating one of the worst defenses in ND history. Many believed Kelly should have been fired after 2016, but he was allowed to do a reboot on the condition that he overhauled his staff.
You just glossed over the fact that during this time period, ND went undefeated and played for a national championship.

That 2012 team made the NC game because I think 9 of the 11 defensive starters were future NFL picks. Look at the game scores that year. They beat Michigan 13-6, beat MSU 20-3, beat BYU 17-14. They weren't exactly lighting up the scoreboard.
It was running joke that we only had one redzone pass play, the fade to the back corner of endzone.
