CFP chair Gary Barta on Notre Dame: "The committee is aware of all the coaching changes while we were going through the rankings, this week it didn't apply...Once the championship games wrap up, our protocol does include the ability to consider a player/coach not being available"

So not only did he abandon them, but he potentially hurt ND’s chances to make the playoffs.

People absolutely crucified Bobby Petrino for leaving the Atlanta Falcons in the middle of a losing season. This is exponentially worse but is getting a fraction of the blowback.

Strong wording, but ok. And Riley abandoned OU, and Napier abandoned ULL, and every coach who ever left a team before the season was over, etc etc.

As for hurting their playoff chances, that's bullshite. If anything, by saying what he did, Gary Barta just made them the underdog team without a coach all of a sudden. With or without Kelly the only way ND gets in is if two teams lose. And if, IF, two teams above them lose this weekend, do you honestly believe the CFP would let a two loss team pass them? With all of the media attention on how unfair that would be?

Now, if you said he hurt any chance they had at WINNING the CFP, I would agree with you.
