Would be a decent payoff.

I think they're same old Notre Dame so I have no confidence.

Kelly took Notre Dame to one national championship game and one national semifinals game. Both times he lost to an Alabama program that would skull drag this year's Notre Dame team.


He made the playoffs twice. He got skulldrug by Alabama AND Clemson in semi final games. His national championship appearance was during the BCS era. He is 0-1 in BCS games and 0-2 in CFP games.

The only national championship with a larger spread was Georgia-TCU

I assume that you mean in the playoff era because Miami was anywhere from between an 11.5-13.5 pt favorite over OSU in the ‘03 Fiesta Bowl.

Luckily for Freeman, he's had much easier matchups and was actually able to win a few.

2024 Ohio State isn't as good as any of the teams BK lost to, but they're probably the closest comparable team.

They still have 2 losses of their own while the three teams BK faced had 1 combined.

And how many has Freeman made?

Point is, you can't say that the program is better with Freeman until he actually betters the program. It may happen in the future, but as of now, that statement isn't accurate.

Put some money on it

Ok here’s my prop bet:

Marcus Freeman will coach in the National championship game

Brian Kelly will sit at home because he lost to 7–6 USC, 8–5 Texas A&M, 9–4 Alabama and 8–5 Florida .

I hope I win

Based on what? They haven't faced a team of that caliber yet.



What is this based on? You thinking that every team they played being less than brian kellys teams competition is nothing more than your opinion on the situation.

The two CFP teams BK faced had a combined 0 losses and very few close calls. They're considered the two best teams in the existence of their respective universities.

Meanwhile, the four CFP teams Freeman will have faced will have 7 losses combined between them.

Pretty easy to see the difference.

Since 1900 Notre Dame has had 28 head coaches. Fifteen of them have a better winning percentage at Notre Dame than does Kelly.

My God yall are the most insecure chickenshits in sports

Winning the Orange and winning the Sugar is vast improvement over what Kelly accomplished.

What was the score of the only national championship game BK coached?

Four replies in a row. That has to be some kind of record.

Because it’s disingenuous which is autistic Sidewalks specialty


I got a bet that is the equivalent of Sidewalk autist’s bet. BK doesn’t win anything more at LSU than he did at ND in his first 3 years. If he doesn’t, that means Freeman is better.

Put up or shut up

I believe it was 42-14, you can Google it for an accurate answer though.
