Is Brian Kelly Underrated?

---

All the flaming aside, I think he's pretty fairly rated.

He probably did what he personally could for Notre Dame. Maybe Freeman can do better, maybe Notre Dame just is what it is.

I'm just encouraged by what I've seen from him so far. His approach to team discipline is something that's been missing for a few years. And frankly, Miles' approach to discipline was clubhanded and unintelligent.

Supposedly Kelly isn't a great recruiter, but he did a hell of a job with the 22 class, and 23 looks better. Is that a case of Kelly finding a new spark, or LSU giving him money for the best assistants that Notre Dame wouldn't have? Maybe both.

Players look healthier. They look like they're in better shape. I know that might sound silly, but Orgeron gave zero cares about anything after the championship. I'm convinced he only walked in the building every day just to be seen.
