I honestly don't care if he breaks his wins record. Nobody is every going to place Brian Kelly on the same plane as Knute Rockne.
I mean, look at WP, and the fact that Kelly plays nearly twice as many games in a season that Rockne did.
Then there's the whole national championships thing.
I know how you feel. On the last drive I was kinda resigned to the fact that they were going to come up short, I didn't react at all, even when they got in, because the way they were playing, theyd find a way to choke on the extra point. Sure enough they almost did.

This seems so odd. He’s a starter. Has a lot of promise. That fumble on the KO return was befuddling especially since it would have put ND up 24-3 to start the 3rd quarter against USC but I wonder what it is.

That’s part of it. I mean they built their brand so that they’re more than a regional program so conference affiliation doesn’t mean as much to them for recruiting.
But if I’m being 100% honest here, some of it falls on ND. Given their catholic foundation they gave dis-associated from some of...
Fielding Yost mostly.
Michigan “taught” Notre Dame the sport when it was introduced to ND in 1887. For Michigan, they were essentially padding their schedule because ND was new to the sport and didn’t have a fully developed program. All that changed when Rockne became coach. Michigan won like...
Some players cheated on some tests, got help they weren’t supposed to get. The university self-reported and the univ. president voluntarily agreed to vacate them.
I’ll explain this for non-ND fans. We have 1 rival (USC), one friend (Navy) and one enemy (Michigan).
it’s not a great rivalry because they’ve played so much. It’s because they hate each other. In fact it was that hatred that caused so many gaps in playing over the years to begin with.
