He's a disengaged, mediocre recruiter and that just doesn't work at ND


His classes were consistently the best of any program outside of the South except USC (w California recruiting base) and Ohio St. Given academic restrictions and geographic limitations, he did very well. Much has changed since the time ND was a college football superpower. Your perception of Kelly seems to be coming from a perspective that ND should return to glory. I’m not sure that’s a realistic expectation in the modern era.

Kelly personally may not have been a charismatic recruiter, but he clearly put together a staff that could recruit with the best of them. I’m excited to see what he can do with a natural recruiting base in LA and free of ND’s academic restrictions.

His recruiting classes were deep but lacked top-end talent. Look at the number of 5 stars he landed. Also, one of the biggest reasons ND couldn't win big games under him is they never had championship-level QB play, and QB is probably the position on the team least affected by academic restrictions.
