Perhaps Biggest of Kelly's Mistakes




Treating LSU FB like he was the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.


The man wanted a retirement gig that paid really well. He could've been very successful here, but his arrogance and his approach to doing the job is what led to his demise.

Moffitt


I'm as big a Moffit fan as most on here, but the last few seasons with O, this team was called soft and many were blaming Moffit for resting on his laurels, game had passed him by, etc.

Kelly had peaked at ND. He had shown an extreme resistance to changing his approach, to the point he faced an ultimatum to make changes after a disastrous 4-8 year.

ND fans were split on what the main cause of stagnation was:
Admission restrictions
Facilities
Kelly
Assistant Salaries
Transfer rules

His leaving answered some of that question, along with improvements in assistant salaries and facility upgrades which have both advanced in his departure.
