No. Kelly + 150 lbs = Weis.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:32 PM ^
Kelly + 150 lbs - Lesbian Golf Visor = Weis.
Fix'd.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:33 PM ^
Kelly + 250 lbs - lesbian golf visor + decided schematic advantage - excuses = Weis.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:47 PM ^
Kelly + 350 lbs - lesbian golf visor + decided schematic advantage - excuses + front butt = Weis
October 30th, 2010 at 7:00 PM ^
Don't underestimate the size of Kelly's girth. He's deceptively fat.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:16 PM ^
Who knew visors were so slimming?
October 30th, 2010 at 6:51 PM ^
((155lbs/350lbs)^(-visorth power)) + negligence = infinite ND losses.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:28 PM ^
At least he got off to a hot start. The pressure is going to be on Kelly a million times more so than last week. If I admired Notre Dame, I'd say stick with him so you don't go through another change. However, since I don't give a hell about them, I say keep that revolving door at head coach going!
October 30th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
this time they get Meyer.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
October 30th, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
has had enough success and has enough money to do whatever he chooses. ND is a lifelong dream for the Catholic Meyer. He might just want to be the one who turns them around.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:43 PM ^
Meyer definitely knows how to coach and can do so even with mediocre talent, this season notwithstanding.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:02 PM ^
If he really wants the ND job, he has a strange way of showing it They fired Willingham when they did specifically to get him and he told them no.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:10 PM ^
but that was then. Maybe with the retirement, unretirement, nat'l championships, mediocre season this year and all, Meyer would finally jump. I have no inside info, but the rumors don't go away and it is a scary (on Halloween no less) thought.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
Well, in any event, Kelly's got at least two more years to turn things around - unless it turns out that he had some role in the kid's death.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
kelly + 150 lbs + 5 years of bad decisions = charlie weis.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:33 PM ^
You mean Brian Kelly=Jabba the Coach
October 30th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
What is wrong with Notre Dame?
October 30th, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
Alot.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
It's probably one of those "Alots of fire." I hear they're destructive. That could kill everyone in the locker room.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
October 30th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
Kelly inherited a mess. Give him a few years to clean up the crap that Weis left him.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:43 PM ^
You're kidding, right?
October 30th, 2010 at 6:49 PM ^
Don't be dense. Kelly is in his first year and he needs time to erase the crappy culture Weis gave him so he can build his program. IMO, Kelly will build ND back up to become a very formidible program.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:52 PM ^
Big Redacted, you're dead on. So folks, now that Crist is out, who is the best option at QB? How was the defense that Kelly inherited? How similar is the scheme to what Charlie ran? How pathetic was Charlie at developing talent?
October 30th, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
I will give Kelly the same benefit of the doubt I have given RR. Both are on the 5 year plan to turn their programs around. In this case, RR has next season to prove he is UM's coach for the next 10-15 years.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:53 PM ^
Agree 100%.
I find it amusing that so many people on this board are willing to give RR the benefit of the doubt, yet, when Kelly steps into an eerily similar situation as RR did, the problem is that Kelly is full of fail.
Come on, folks. How bout a little consistency?
October 30th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
Another this week in schadenfreude for ND? Or does it go to MSU?
October 31st, 2010 at 3:29 AM ^
I think so just for Kelly saying that they had a huge game to prepare for this week against powerhouse Tulsa, which they blew.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
Weis had a winning record his first year.
In fact, Weis won like 19 games in his first two years. Kelly might have to win 14 next year to get to that level.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:38 PM ^
Honestly, he might have to win 15. That Army game is no longer a gimme.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:36 PM ^
Once they get rid of Willingham's players, these guys are national championship bound!
October 30th, 2010 at 6:38 PM ^
Kelly's got a long way to go before he's mentioned in the same breath as these titans of the gridiron.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
Ah, the only downside to ND losing this year: No hilariously premature book cover to post for years to come.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:55 PM ^
Delusion springs eternal.
Count on it having some form of the phrase "rise to glory" in it.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:40 PM ^
Can't he adjust his offense to players he has, you know, run pro set, etc., etc.?
I still think Kelly is a good coach, but ND's program is just a little more effed up than their fans will admit.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:43 PM ^
October 30th, 2010 at 6:52 PM ^
Let Kelly install his system and take the growing pains before they can take a leap forward. If RR had adapted to the personnel, the offense wouldn't have been nearly as good as it is this season.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
I don't know why people keep making this analogy. ND has far, far more offensive talent than we did in 2008. Floyd and Rudolph might be the best players in the country at their positions, Allen/Wood are a good tailback combo, and their OL, while young, is loaded with former four- and five-star recruits. And Crist is well-suited to run the passing spread Kelly favors. The talent is there. I really don't know what their problem is. Maybe it's guys just not buying in.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:17 PM ^
Or maybe they just hate their asshat headcoach
October 30th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
Sometimes it's not the talent. It's how quick they pick up the system. Some pick it up quicker than the others.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:53 PM ^
The answer to that is Notre Dame hired him and his system. The two are a package deal He needs to implement it now to get them to point B quickly, and they need to be patient.
The man has gotten results everywhere he has been. Championships upon championships.
The way Notre Dame has been rolling the last 15 years, you'd their fans would be so centered that they'd make Gandhi look like he has ADD.
October 30th, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
A first round pick at TE (now injured), a first round pick at WR ( who he doesn't know how to use, a good RB (now injured), a five star QB (now injured), a stud at LB, and years of highly rated recruiting classes who didn't all transfer out.
You talk about the system, but what their running now isn't all that different than what they ran last year. The biggest differences being an experienced QB and something resembling a running game which may be solely on Kelly's ego.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
October 30th, 2010 at 6:49 PM ^
Abtholuthtly.
October 30th, 2010 at 6:51 PM ^
that ND let Lou Holtz get away with a lot of things that ND would not allow. He left the program in shambles
October 30th, 2010 at 6:45 PM ^
Is it too early to give BK a contract extension or are they going to wait until after they play in their bowl game? Oh wait...
October 30th, 2010 at 6:57 PM ^
so isn't this where ND gives Kelly a contract extension?
