Lost to Northwestern

[ChicagoIrish]

Once again, not only was Notre Dame outplayed, but also outcoached. Being outcoached has become a common theme with this team, not just this season but since Kelly has arrived here.

AGAIN, Kelly abandons the running game, AGAIN Notre Dame turns the ball over in crucial points of the game, AND AGAIN, Notre Dame struggles with their kicking game. Not to mention that terrible decision to go for 2. What was he thinking?

Maybe purguy can tell us some more how we're only one year away.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

I'm starting to think that Brian Kelly has to go. It's just not working.

I'm tired of seeing this team get outcoached every single week. I'm also tired of seeing us play down to our competition. Which by the way, is due to the coaching.

 

[purguy12]

running game is what cost us the game. 3 fumbles.

kelly might need to go. he doesnt learn.

 

[purguy12]

we are 1 year away

He's stubborn and has a huge ego, he's not going to ever change the way he calls a game.

Evidence is the Toledo game a few years back.

I respect your opinion, but I just don't see it.

 

[bksballer89]

we are 1 year away

from what?

 

[purguy12]

if these mistakes happen next year he is gone. he needs to go 11-1 or 12-0 next year

 

[jjc2009]

I am speechless. There's simply no excuse, 5 years in, for these chronic fuckups. Outside of 2012, Kelly has lost at least one game to a decidedly inferior opponent. There's only so much slack I'll cut him with the youth and injuries. The veteran players fucked up. Cam McDaniel, Chris Brown, Everett Golson, Kyle Brindza. All shit the bed royally.

I can LOL Notre Dame this week

 

[jjc2009]

Kelly deserves credit for building up the program from where it was, but he is and always will be a shitty Gameday coach. There's only so much utility he has.

Could have last week. Probably will be able to next week.

 

[purguy12]

no excuses next year. we might lose some recruits. need to save this season some how. 9-3 please. i had them at 8-4 but no reason we cant finish 9-3 with a bowl win.

 

[purguy12]

i still cant believe he went for 2. who knows most likley NW scores a TD

According to some of these announcers lately, Kelly is a great playcaller, one of the best.

That tells me immediately that they haven't watched very much Notre Dame football over the years, because I wouldn't call Kelly a "great" playcaller. Matter of fact, I thought Weis was the better offensive mind.

Well, you played a team Iowa destroyed this season today. At least the other losses were against teams that could very likely, and probably would have, dominated Iowa.

Whole lotta full of shit in that bowl, bro.

Whole lotta full of shit in that bowl, bro.

What do you expect? I think it was Chris Spielman and Mike Mayock who called him a great playcaller.
