He did well . I love the threads where you read 85% of the OP, then you get to THE part and are like, ooohh ok, I see what this is now.

And I would take Brian Kelly over any of the other coaches on that list!

LOL, this is how we know you are lying.

Those goalposts have been firmly planted for 14 years, Gun Sod.

When you were like 9?

I had him down for 7-5 this year so congrats to him for surpassing my season prediction (mostly due to the worst West in like 20 years)

Outperformed your initial expectation.

You can beat your chests about going 9-4 all you want but at the end of the day nobody’s gonna take the dude seriously until he stops losing every big postseason game he’s ever been in.

Goalposts moved

Nobody ever accused Brian Kelly of not being able to pull off a 4-loss season. He did that plenty at ND. Until he wins an SEC Championship or a CFP game, he will always be the guy who can’t finish.

What will you critique when he does win a championship?

so your point is that he only lost those games because his teams were never that good anyways?

The entire point of NY6 bowls is that you play good teams. Not being favored in any of them just means everyone knew his teams didn’t belong there in the first place.

Essentially everyone knew his teams sucked and he proved everyone right every year.

ok diddly. You do you

Ya, and your current head coach contributed to 1/3 of that

If it took reading 85% of the OP to see where he was going you don’t spend enough time on here

And what happened the other 2/3?

Seems like Notre Dame has a problem that extends beyond Brian Kelly.

There was a thread yesterday campaigning for Mike Leach to be in the HOF for 5 loss seasons at average to below average programs and then threads about how Brian Kelly actually sucks because he's lost to the #1 team in the country 3 of the 5 major Bowls he's been to. The rant trolling playbook in a nutshell.

He's been at LSU one season. LSU was a bad football team the past 2 seasons. You predicted them to go 7-5 for a reason. Would you have expected any coach in college football to win an SEC Title with this team? Do you think you can maybe let him coach a few seasons before deciding how good or bad he'll be at LSU, or is refraining from hot take trolls just too difficult for you?

Kelly outperformed everyone's expectations this season. That is positive. You acting as if there's no reason for LSU fans to think he did a great job in year 1 is dumb.

Of course not.

So because he changed schools he’s all of a sudden immune to criticism for 2 years?

I made fun of him for not winning anything before he went to LSU, and until that changes I’m gonna keep doing that.

Why should I care what he did elsewhere when he's done a great job in his only year for my team? Did I care about what Saban did at Michigan St, Miles did at Oklahoma St, or Orgeron did at Ole Miss? No, I only cared about what they did at LSU. When they did something less than good at LSU, I criticized them for it.
