I think Richt was a championship caliber head coach, the cards just never fell his way.


What you’re describing isn’t a championship coach. A championship coach has his players mentally tough so they execute in pressure situations and they can overachieve when they’re not as talented. That’s what makes a championship coach. BK made ND into one of the best producers of NFL talent in college football. So, the alleged constraints against him at ND is a cop out. His guys weren’t mentally tough and they never overachieved.

That's certainly part of it but the majority of what actually happens in a game is outside of the coach's control.

One fumble or weird bounce can ruin an entire season, and you also have to be "lucky" on the injury front.

Not really, Notre Dame hasn't even won a major bowl in 30 years.

They just aren't an elite program any longer.
