more and more clear is that Balis is the best coach we’ve got. Back up the truck into his driveway.


What’s also becoming clear is we have the talent to win

And it’s the coaching staff and scheme that are the reasons we fall short on the biggest stages.


No 5-stars,no National Championships. Simple as that.... *

potential. That ability to find talent has been there even before ND.

Where he has struggled is in developing that talent further with his staff. More hit and miss. And then there is gameplanning and gameday where he does not excel at all.

He is best when the talent differential is great. When it narrows he often gets out-coached.


I'd say he's pretty standard at both.

His NFL development is on par with his recruiting rankings. After the 2015 season his NFL development actually exceeded recruiting rankings, but that may have come back down to about the base line since. (I'd have to check.). What hasn't been on par with either is the win totals. Unless Kelly has just hit a new normal. I think those call are premature. I'd like to see how year 2 of Quinn as OL coach works out before believing a coach that won 4 games three years ago has hit a new normal of 10 wins.


Actually what you’re saying is Kelly should be a scout
