I'll say this in Kelly's favor, vis a vis Riley: Riley ran away from the SEC, Kelly ran to it. That's a big plus.

If there is any good news Kelly is 60 so highly possible Woody will get another chance to fuck this up even worse very soon
They have the own TV channel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_Dame_Football_on_NBC Every Catholic in the country wants to play there. That included back when College football was "White Boy" football, ealy 70' & everything before.
His salary this year is actually $2.7mil. What the hell are they paying Freeman if Brian Kelly is getting $2.7 mil per year? Hell lets sign him to $4 mil and give Freeman $2.5 and get both here. Although i think Daronte Jones defense was making strides from middle to end of season.
