I think Kelly will be here as long as he wants to be. No one else wants to hire him so there's no incentive to leave. I do believe that we have moved from purgatory, where hope exists because you know you'll eventually get out, to the fifth circle of hell.

I fully expect to look up one day very soon and realize that Kelly has coached more games at ND than any other coach in our history. That day isn't too far away.
