I disagree.

He's got a Mark Richt resume.

If you view Brian Kelly as a championship caliber HC, then you have to view Mark Richt the same way.

If you think Mark Richt was not a championship caliber HC (which is what most people believe), then you shouldn't view Kelly as one either.


I think Richt was a championship caliber head coach, the cards just never fell his way.

It's nuts that some people believe a coach just forgets how to coach when the postseason hits.

What you’re describing isn’t a championship coach. A championship coach has his players mentally tough so they execute in pressure situations and they can overachieve when they’re not as talented. That’s what makes a championship coach. BK made ND into one of the best producers of NFL talent in college football. So, the alleged constraints against him at ND is a cop out. His guys weren’t mentally tough and they never overachieved.

Richt had to deal with folks within the academic setting that often got in the way of recruiting.

Kirby took the job on the condition that he wouldn't have to put up with what Richt did.
