I have no inside info and I'm certainly not defending House, but if Kelly and House knew preseason that the defense was going to suck and that they would have severe scheme limitations due to that, it's hard for Kelly to then blame House. Now, he could fire him anyway for sure. But if he truly believes it was personnel, then that would have to be fixed regardless of the coaching.

That would line up with Kelly's comments that they have discussed the problems in detail on a weekly basis and that they know what the problems are.

If Kelly thinks House is the problem, then he should fire him. But if he doesn't, then he shouldn't fire him just to appease the fans.

He’s already said this by addressing the DC at ND who was in his wedding. If he felt house was the problem, he would fire bc he doesn’t mind making the tough decisions.

Everyone saying he can’t fire him now bc of recruiting and bowl prep is laughable.

House isn’t getting fired! Accept it.

The problem here is the complete lack of changes made. At some point in time between the two of them, realize that your second level is a liability regardless if there are 4 or 6 people back there. At least give the QB hell in the process of exposing our weak coverage and open field tackling.
