Notre Dame was a preseason top ten team. Notre Dame finished the 2016 season 4-8. Brian Kelly will soon be the former Notre Dame Fighting Irish football coach.
You likely knew all of these things. In fact I had to edit this headline from “after he’s fired,” to “after he parts ways” when rumors surfaced that his “representatives” were helping Kelly explore options outside of Notre Dame. It’s the one thing I can respect about the guy. At least he’s being proactive with his job search. While the timeline may be in question, one thing seems evident.
