Island Domer Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 cheer on Kelly and your Irish next year. Dantonio won three games and followed it up with Rose Bowl wins and 10 win seasons regularly. IF Kelly could make us extremely relevant again next year, would you cheer for him. isn't it something (however vaguely )like support your President while he is the president? I'm not saying dont criticise, but if we go on a 7 game streak to start.. . will you be hoping Kelly can't win the last 5 and is fired ? not trying to antagonize anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithInIrish Forever Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 You Know I would! I want the players to win, period. Whoever the coach is, I'm rooting hard for the team! Go Irish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndomer4 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I think everyone would but we know it is very unlikely. He needs an overhaul of his staff and a great DC then I will think about that even being a possibility. I cant get too excited now even if that were the case, I got my hopes up too high during the 2014 season and we all know how that turned out. Best case is Kelly learns from this season and has one of his better years but with how stubborn he is I have doubts he learned anything from this whole debacle. That extension is right up with the Weis extension as some of the worst in CFB history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us are unhappy with the direction of the program and are voting with those dollars for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTennant Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 If he doesn't get canned this year and we all know that's an extremely slim chance, I'll be back on the bandwagon and hoping he can turn this thing around, but I don't know how you rebound from this. I'm one of the rare kind that feel like he could do good things at a different program, but this is just no longer a good fit. He's made his bed here.

irishwavend Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I have a tough time when a 3 win season could be right around the corner again. There was no reason our team shouldn't have been able to tackle or produce more on offense. Kelly makes awful game-defining decisions that play us out of winning a lot of games too. Then, to hear his bad attitude... I'd prefer tonmake a statement next season and boycott so I don't have to be so apathetic again. Let's just bite the bullet knowing the future is at stake. Kelly is not Dantonio... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dardo Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 In a perfect world, Kelly would win the next 15 national championships at ND. I watched every game this year knowing that it would most likely benefit the program for them to lose, but I wanted them to win every time. Before and after the game I'd say "LOSE" but during the game I was scaring the dog yelling about bullshit penalties, hoping they'd win .

ELDER06 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 If you're actually rooting for ND to lose, you're not a real fan and should GTFOH. I don't care who the coach is, I want them to win. Is it likely under Kelly? No, doesn't mean I'm not hoping it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialFNK Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 if Kelly is back I think everyone should cheer/route for ND despite Kelly and hope they can win every game they play. that might mean winning despite decisions Kelly would make that hurt the team. if at some point next year ND loses multiple games then things could change.

corysold Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I don't think anyone is cheering for ND to lose. People are hoping Kelly gets fired. Ideally, Kelly wins 14 games next year and a title. But that isn't likely. Worst case, he wins 9 games and gets another year. At this point, Kelly pretty much is what he is. 8-10 wins most years, 1 out of 7 better, 1 out of 7 worse. That is fine I suppose, but I don't really think ND should just be a 8-10 win team. I'll cheer for ND next season, I'd just rather be doing it with someone else as head coach.

I think there is a difference between not watching games or buying gear and actively rooting for them to lose. I am the former snd not the latter.

irishrb Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Will still buy a TON of ND gear for my growing boys, will still add to my ND collection, will still root like crazy for ND to win....But I am tired of BK. Ideally ND kills it next year and he moves on to his next gig.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roarcity269 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The hiring of Charlie Strong would bring me right back on... i think he is a great coach and would do a world of difference for recruiting IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
