Not a chance. If anything they'll think, "Kelly couldn't get us over the hump because he got away from what has traditionally worked at Notre Dame!" and undo the few things Kelly was able to get pushed through to try and modernize the program. Those people are attached to their past in the same way Jimmy Hoffa is attached to Soldier Field: they are buried and suffocated by it.
