I.M. OLD Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 A team should not be REGRESSING in year 3. Mike could be my favorite uncle or neighbor with ease, but this experiment was a grand failure. Hip Hip Hurray 2 Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) There is always a "maybe". I agree. Maybe MR will become more then a .500 coach with all the resources at ? Maybe MR will put together a solid year with his QB and new DC? Maybe MR might put together some amazing motivation speech and coaching on the sideline? Ya, maybe. I'll give him the rest of the season to prove himself. It doesn't even need to translate into WINS this year. I'm just giving this the "eye ball test" ... and I just don't see a guy with the ability or passion to transfer what he knows and believes into a product that gets put on the field that translates in what looks like the tradition.

He also had a 10-win season in 2015, before his terrible season last year. Riley hasn't shown that type of improvement at Nebraska anywhere. FFA. 1 Quote Link to comment

Atbone95 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think you said it best when you talked about how Brian Kelly got to a title game before going 4-8 Quote Link to comment

BartonHusker Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Kelly has proven himself to be a good coach everywhere he has been. He had that bad year last season but immediately corrected the issues by bringing in two coordinators that are doing their jobs quite well. Not to mention Kelly personally realized he needed to spend more time on the defensive side of the ball and not be so hands off only worrying about the offense. The hard decisions he made this past off-season have worked. I think Diaco was a pretty good defensive coordinator selection but I don't think the staff as a whole is up to snuff compared to what Kelly has at Notre Dame.

StPaulHusker Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Brian Kelly has more seasons at ND where they finished un-ranked vs being ranked. He has also not lost fewer than 3 games only once in 7 seasons. Not including this one yet. Quote Link to comment

That maybe his one NCG appearance was an anomaly. That maybe he is basically the same as Bo Pelini. So why should we care about Brian Kelly? Quote Link to comment

So why should we care about Brian Kelly? I'm assuming most of us don't, but the OP used him as the comparison. And in comparing BK to MR, it's not even close. Quote Link to comment
