re: Hot take. The fact Brian Kelly has not won a natty yet is a good thing.

There are some marginal coaches with titles
Look at LSUs last 2 coaches for prime example.

Between O's mess and the rise of NIL i think the curve was more than we anticipated

What has he said to give you that impression? Not saying you’re off but I feel like he’s embraced it. He’s a guy with a vision and a plan to execute it. He’s adjusted and it’s rolling now and I feel he’s out in-front of it having fun.
I agree. I feel like he didn't enjoy adjusting to it, but now that it seems like he's gotten the hang of it - and built a good off-the-field staff for it - he's going to roll.

I think he’s more likely to retire before his contract is up especially if he wins a title.
If he retires, he loses out on all that cash.
He ain't gonna retire.

The problem is Kelly is not a big game coach. He just doesn’t win the big games. Nearly every big game he coaches in with something meaningful on the line, he loses. And loses bad. SEC title game. CFB playoff games. BCS National Title game.
This! Yet there is thread after thread of these loyalists that still feel the need to bash O and Les but for some reason BK walks on water. It is a Rant phenomenon I simply do not understand.

I’m in too. Plus BK winning one before Freeman means the ND and national media melt will be an all time nuke

SEC title game.
No one beat that team

CFB playoff games
No one else beat those teams either

BCS National Title game.
This team had one loss, and it was to the literal Heisman winner.
Basically, this argument that BK can't win big games is based on him losing several matchups to vastly more talented teams with better coaches (Saban, Dabo, Smart).
2018 Clemson is Clemson's best team ever
2020 Alabama is likely Alabama's best team ever
2012 Alabama was prime Saban
2022 Georgia is probably Georgia's best team ever
Those teams were something like a combined 56-1, Kevin Sumlin is the only coach with a win vs them and I wouldn't want him.
The "big game" thing is kind of overblown IMO and doesn't really bother me.
It's especially weird that Notre Dame fans try to pretend that Freeman is better in "big games" when his "big game wins" are vs 3 teams with a combined 5 losses, coming into the playoff.

I'll wait until he wins his first opening game before I jump.
Wonder what our NIL value ranks nationally.

Winning a title in football is as much about where you coach as it is about how good of a coach you are.
Hasn't Notre Dame won more Nattys than any other University?

no, and they havent won 1 since 88 and only 4 in the last 75 years. 4 is awesome but lets stop acting like they were the best thing ever in the last 35 years. The last 5 coaches havent won shite. Kelly was by far the best of those 5.
