Well ...

I said I "hated" Kelly, not that LaFleur did.

Let me make a point I decided not to make in my original post.

Given the enormous challenge it is to work your way up the coaching ranks, and given the perceived status of working at Notre Dame (at least in the eyes of some, yet), I can certainly understand why a young coach might hold his nose and come to work for a guy for whom he didn't have the utmost respect.

I suppose I'd land on, "It was crappy, but not crappy enough to keep LaFleur from working again for Kelly in the interest of advancing his career."
