re: How long until LSU fans figure out they made a mistake in hiring Brian Kelly?

In 2010, a student videographer died at Notre Dame after Kelly called an outdoor practice on a windy day and the lift fell over. The same year, the campus was engulfed in scandal after a St. Mary’s College freshman reported that a Notre Dame football player sexually assaulted her. She died by suicide 10 days after filing a complaint with campus police. And then in 2016, the NCAA ordered Notre Dame to vacate its wins from the 2012 and 2013 seasons over an academic misconduct flap involving a student trainer who wrote papers for athletes and “provided impermissible academic assistance.”

“This year, five football players were arrested before the season began after police discovered marijuana and a handgun in their car,” the column continued. “This year, the football team couldn't even beat bad opponents en route to a losing campaign. This year, the NCAA smacked the school for academic fraud. This year, Notre Dame didn't look anything like Notre Dame. It looked like just about everyone else. And that means big trouble for everyone involved, especially the guy at the top.”

In 2016, a reporter asked Kelly how much culpability he should bear in the academic misconduct scandal that forced Notre Dame to vacate wins from 2012 and 2013.

“Zero,” he responded. “Absolutely none.”
