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


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.

You might think it’s BS that could happen but per the CFP protocls the committee is allowed to discount ND for the fact that they no longer have their head coach.

+ Kelly is basically sending the message to the committee to not pick ND because not even he believes in them.
