SBNation’s Notre Dame site is called One Foot Down. This week, I got with Patrick Sullivan, a writer for the site, to pick his brain about the current state of Notre Dame football.
1. Is Brian Kelly on the hot seat. If so, who would you like to see be the next ND coach and why?
I don't think there's any question that Brian Kelly is on the hot seat. I know Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick came out and said Kelly would be coaching the Irish in 2017, but we all know that a public vote of confidence like that can actually be the kiss of death as opposed to anything to hang your hat on as fact.
