The news is out and Brian Kelly is moving on from Notre Dame. I honestly started this just to vent my frustration and I am stunned that so many of you felt the same way. This outcome belongs entirely to you folks who kept the pressure on.

Hey, is anyone sick of Notre Dame having lackluster after lackluster football seasons?
We seem to keep getting sub-par coaches, why is that?
Football is gigantic at & for Notre Dame so far as big money, big tradition, big ratings & big coverage ie: NBC coverage contract!!!
We have one of the largest fortunes in NCAA Football, can't we afford the very best???
Ohio State, Michigan State, Florida State, Alabama, etc.seeming have better coaches & their programs are clearly on the right track!!! Heck even University Of Michigan has a guy now seemingly going in the right direction!!!
Simply put, we have a coach who says he's the best but cannot win a big game!!! Brian Kelly cannot even get the team up for the right games like Holtz could & his decisions & play calling do not add up!!!
Lou Holtz won the Big Games, he could get his players up for the Big Games, Kelly cannot, look at the record, it speaks for itself!!!
Let Kelly go & pay what takes to get a Nick Saban or the like!!! Restore the Glory at Notre Dame again!!!
If not, we'll keep losing games like the Clemson game & having Quarter Backs go win & shine like now at Florida State...
Brian Kelly said this is the best team he's coached, really Brian, REALLY???

Seeing this level of momentum is completely overwhelming and honestly not something I ever anticipated at the start. This movement is entirely fueled by your shared frustration and passion for the program. It really belongs to all of you.

I really never imagined this many people felt the same way about the program. It is honestly overwhelming to see so many of you jump on board. If you can help get this in front of a few more eyes right now we might just hit that first hundred mark.

10 years is enough time. His record against the top teams says it all. -11 straight road losses to a top-20 team. -3-8 against top-10 teams -4-12 against top-25 -0-5 against top 5 (3 losses by 14+ pts)
Would the University hire a mediocre professor for the Cardozo Business School? For the Law School? We were taught by UND to excel in what we do. We need a football coach that conveys that spirit.
Brian Kelly did a good job. But after eight years his body of work shows a 9-4 kind of trajectory. Ready for another change and have no doubt the right guy could ignite a passionate run at excellent football quickly.
I agree wholeheartedly with the comments on why Brian Kelly should be fired. Simply put, he cannot win the big game. He made excuses for the 4-8 2016 season and his changes this year to save his job are not working. This team needs to recruit better speed players. As Coach Holtz said, "Speed kills".
Brian can not coach. He can recruit. He can't coach. He can't call plays. He can't make executive decisions. His split QB decision and his ultra conservative play calling cost them this game. This isn't the first time and won't be the last. Executive decision... hit Herman or Lane Kiffin. Please!
Scott Woodward: It's time to clean up the absolute mess you made four years ago. Get the wealthy donors together (again) and do whatever is necessary to get rid of Brian Kelly. Pro tip: Don't hire another mediocre 60-year old coach to lead this program. Follow the lead of the greatest AD in LSU history, Joe Dean, who hired Nick Saban. Look for and up and coming young coach with a good pedigree who has his best years ahead of him. Fans will forgive you if you make a reasonable choice that doesn't work out. They won't forgive another stupid choice like Brian Kelly.
He has never been at home at LSU, and a “seasoned” coach should never make an excuse other than accepting responsibility for the fate of his team.

Third straight year under Kelly that all of the fun and excitement for an entire college football season is over and done before midnight of opening day. We’ve been reduced to perennial “spoiler” status and that’s not getting you recruits or transfers. #firekelly
