So, the alleged constraints against him at ND is a cop out.


Not really, Notre Dame hasn't even won a major bowl in 30 years.

They just aren't an elite program any longer.

This is a funny statement. Thank you for proving everyone's point. They have been an elite program. They just haven't won any big post-season games because they haven't had a great coach since Holtz. Who do you think lost most of those major bowls the past 30 years - Brian Kelly. The facilities, revenue, fan support, and talent say they are elite. Even with a mediocre coach they have recruited at a high level, and in Kelly's time they went to the BSC Championship Game and two college football playoffs. He just can't win the big game despite many tries.

During Brian Kelly's tenure at Notre Dame, he out-recruited LSU several years.

At 34 players, Notre Dame currently has more players in the NFL than OU, Texas, USC, Penn St or Auburn, and only three fewer than Clemson. That's shows that a load of talent has been at Notre Dame - the 9th most players of any school currently in the NFL (LSU is currently 4th at 43 players).
