Let’s start by saying Brian Kelly has never owed UC fans anything. If you’ve made it past that opinion and you’re still reading. . .
Ask yourself what UC football coach did more for the program than he did. . . worked more tirelessly, brought more positive attention, did more to put the Bearcats on the national map et cetera, et cetera.
This isn’t to dismiss the efforts of Mark Dantonio and the highly underappreciated Rick Minter. It’s to note that Brian Kelly took Bearcats football to heights we could never have believed possible when Dave Currey and Tim Murphy were wearing the whistle.
