re: To the Students

Kelly has reignited the whole program, including the fans. Amazing what constant improvement and trust leads to. Someone pointed out how Saban looks for perfection while Kelly looks for the players being responsible and accountable for their daily behaviors. Kelly wants you to try your hardest and will accept mistakes if the players are giving it their all. Two different mindsets and I personally think Kelly’s approach is the best.

I never imagined he would have the program turned around after losing week one and still having the players bought in and getting stronger. My friend who is a huge Notre Dame fan tried to tell me that Kelly would have teams that play their best at the end of the year.
