His best bet is too have as good of a season as he can muster in 2017. 2016 really hurt his image even though I'm not too sure NFL brass ever thought too highly of him.

 

If he can get 11-13 wins next year then he can show 2016 was a fluke and maybe teams will start listening. I still think NFL teams are reluctant to hire college guys as head coaches. Sure Carroll and Harbaugh worked out but there are many more failures.

It wouldn't surprise me if he or his agent were at least putting out feelers to NFL teams. 2015 notwithstanding, I wouldn't be surprised if he's burned out at ND. It just feels to me that his tenure plateaued after 2012 and last year in particular he often looked like he was tired of trying to figure out the answer to get back to that level.

 

It hasn't all been his fault or in his hands but after his star skyrocketed at Cincinnati, his ego started writing checks that his abilities can't cash.

It's hard to believe that ND wants a situation where there would be a turnover of so many coaches and then have the head coach leave. The most logical conclusion is that Swarbrick believes in Kelly and that he and Kelly think an overhaul of the coaching staff will yield better results. We'll see.

Be real, no GM is going to be able to sell hiring a coach that just went 4-8. He can look so he wants, he's not going anywhere.

 

Totally different game. Handcuffed by academics and suspensions/dismissals etc. He can sell it. He's managed to sell himself to Swarbrick and the BOT...
