let’s hope. I’ve been pulling against ND ever since BK got here to avoid us being laughed at like what’s happening now.

and the portal. The portal has elevated numerous programs that had been struggling over the years


The portal doesn't change notre dame's strict academic standards, which is what we've been told was the reason BK couldn't win a championship at ND

If you let things like that bother you, well.....

LSU has won 3 natties in football this century. ONLY behind Alabama. Let them laugh.

Was Freeman to turn down Head Coaching offer at ND? Something that took Kelly going through the wringer to get a job like that? Must be nice. Kelly had to prove who he was to get the job through winning at smaller schools and then had to rebuild it. Freeman walked right in to a successful program from the jump.

actually what bothers me as a fan is losing. We’ve done more of that than ND lately. And as you should know lately is all that matters.

According to Chicken. Those standards have been relaxed.

He ran from a school with an easier path to the playoffs, every year?

Klatt may be the worst analyst out there. I’m not joking, his tales rarely pan out.

I like Freeman, but they really haven’t faced a real challenge yet.

Army and Navy - while awesome stories, are not awesome teams.

A&M on the road looks good, but it was game 1. The Aggies were still all in on their eventual back up QB.

USC? They were a shell of a team at that point (and still challenged the Irish).

Indiana, with a back up QB, in a Notre Dame home game? They weren’t legit without their starter.

Georgia, with a backup QB who doesn’t even know the protections for his own position, was much weaker than with Beck.

The Domers are good, but as usual, they are being given more credit than they deserve.

They have a chance to make a statement in their next game.

We will see.

That is all speculation.....Kelly is our coach, and ND has a pretty good team.
So what.....$100 million attracted Kelly and you can't blame him. He did not run from ND, he got super rich to leave.

Kelly also thought it would be easier to win a natty at LSU.....The SEC says NOT!

Spin, Spin, Spin...that's what gets entertainers publicity.

Facts, Facts, Facts...are undeniable.

Isn't Brian Kelly like the 2nd winningest active coach in college football?
Why do asshats come to this forum acting like children with a temper tantrum?

Nah... LSU was just dumb enough to give him a 100 mil Retirement Package on the backend of his career. I dont blame him. I'm sure that decision was 80% financial and 20% about football

Freeman has the easiest path to the college playoff year in and year out….a Notre Dame schedule. ND will be perpetual playoff team, but can they actually win the whole thing? I doubt it. They would not have made a 4 team playoff this year. I suspect the luck of the Irish is about to run out.


So if ND has the EASIEST path to the playoffs, why would Kelly leave if his goal is to win a Championship?

With the portal and NIL, how could you not be able to sell being a perennial playoff team and the exposure on a broadly televised national stage to the top recruits?
