In his first year at ND before the Tulsa game, a student by the name of Declan Sullivan was sent up in a scissor lift in 50 MPH winds. The lift collapsed and the kid was thrown from it to his death. The AD later characterized the winds as unremarkable. In the game against Tulsa, ND was driving and was within field goal range that would have put them up by nine points. Kelly decided to throw a long pass into the end zone with a first time freshman QB starter. The ball was intercepted and Tulsa then drove the ball and scored the winning TD. In the press conference after the game when questioned about the call, Brian Kelly responded Get Used To It! Thank you for taking him off our hands and congratulations on having the balls to get rid of him after only 4 years. Our AD enabled him for twelve years. The majority of our fan base and alumni were only too glad to see him go. You have my sympathies for what you have gone through. I know it only too well.

He did the same thing at ND when the AD said to fire DC Brian VanGorder in 2016. Kelly initislly refused to fire him and gave him a vote of confidence. The AD said if he didn’t fire VanGorder, Kelly would be fired. Kelly fired him the next day. He later hired VanGorder to be an analyst at LSU.

He also lost to Navy- TWICE
