I think Freeman has already done a better job at ND than Kelly has.
Based on what? Winning major bowls in the expanded playoff?
I'm not trying to give you shite for your opinion either. I'm genuinely curious, because in past formats, ND may not have gotten a mulligan for the NIU loss.

NO, don't just join a conference. BIG!) has some validity but ACC is crap. Join the SEC and let's see how often you get out of an 8 game conference schedule with less than 3 losses, except in years you get a 'soft as Charmin schedule rotation" like Texas did.They drew only two reasonably tough games with Georgia(good) and aTm(fair). Florida ended strong but wasn't very good when they played cause Lagway hadn't bloomed yet.

You are delusional.
They were destroying you in the passing game in the first half and then threw maybe 7 passes the entire second half.

They were 1 fumble away from getting ran out the stadium

And two extremely dumb gift penalties from OSU

And he still hasn't done anything that Coach BK hasn't done. Got to the championship and the talent difference is why they lost again.

“And he still hasn't done anything that Coach BK hasn't done.”
That’s simply not true…
He hasn’t faked an accent.
He hasn’t been nailed multiple times by the NCAA.
Round 1: He hasn’t had wins vacated. (I’ll not bore you with the full penalty list in the NCAA Public Infractions report.). Round 2: He hasn’t been penalized by the NCAA for recruiting violations.
He hasn’t ditched an undefeated team heading to the Sugar Bowl….
He hasn’t lost all his major post season Bowls. Kelly 0 (Kelly in 4th decade as HC, Freeman’s won 2 in 3 years as a HC)
Kelly is batting 0.000 in them for his entire career. (Had he stuck around for the Cinci Sugar Bowl he would have been walloped by FL there too.).
He hasn’t lost 8 games in a season.
He hasn’t put a kid in a scissor lift to film practice during a “dangerous wind advisory” resulting in the student’s death. (The grace of that student’s family spared massive legal trouble for him/others.)
He hasn’t had people falling asleep at the Cinci DMV during his motivational segment. (On YouTube very funny)
He hasn’t made racist remarks about his players. (See CMU).
He hasn’t claimed to have played LB in college only to be found out it was club ball. (That’s a funny wiki edit).
He hasn’t finished 3-5 in the MAC. In year 12 at ND, 2021, he did author a fabulous home opener come from behind win vs Toledo. ND was #8 and squeaked by 32-29… with 1:09 to play and ND trailing 29-24 Coan hit Mayer for an 18 yd TD taking a 30-29 lead, This sent the crowd into a goal post tear down frenzy (jk) and then ND converted the 2 pointer … riveting…
There’s more, but that’s off the top of my head…
LSU’s talent base, may overcome kelly and win a NC over time. However, his departure from ND coincided with a major change to the college football landscape.
The portal/NIL has leveled the playing field. It was 4 months young when Kelly departed. With that and the 12 team playoff, Alabama type domination may be a thing of the past and parity could be the new normal. So, what factors will set teams apart? Coaching’s a big one. To date Kelly can’t handle the post season crucible. Now it’s deeper. He’s already moved the LSU three year goalpost… the good news is that he’s feeling serious heat and will really buckle down now. I think he knows that if he misses the playoff's it will get white hot. I have a feeling that the LSU AD/hierarchy will not be as lax as ND’s…

First 3 years at ND:
Kelly lost to Navy and Tulsa back to back year 1
He lost to South Florida to open the season at home year 2
His Navy, BYU, Pitt wins were wiped by the NCAA year 3
PS in year 12 Kelly, 2021, he squeaked out a W vs Toledo 32-29 and lost at home in week 5, ironically, to his former team Cincinnati… that was the only regular season loss
He had other losses to Navy, close calls with Ball State, Temple, his Rutgers bowl win was wiped
Freeman lost to Marshall year 1
Freeman lost to NIU year 3
Kelly lost to Navy and Tulsa back to back year 1
He lost to South Florida to open the season at home year 2
His Navy, BYU, Pitt wins were wiped by the NCAA year 3

Awww, someone's upset that their savior isn't what they expected and they got outplayed and out coached by OSU. No one will remember the team that lost the NC but everyone will remember the team that won. Back to the bottom middle for ND.

I'm with Mascona on their schedule. I'm not going to fault ND for their schedule. They can't help who is good and who isn't. They generally play a pretty solid, well rounded schedule and they never seem to have FCS schools littered in.

Geaux Away. ND would be irrelevant if not for easy schedules and a large rooting base that TV networks like to capitalize off of

Dude, find a woman. Get a hobby. Is this the extent of all you have to offer life? Are you employed? Live at home?

There’s been some real bad ones.
I was responding to this question:
“How much have yall struggled with non power 5 teams under Freeman?”
