This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think 2018 was probably Kelly's best coaching job. by RallyingSon

But ultimately, the team hit the same ceiling as in the past: being outclassed in a major bowl game. Brian Kelly is an above-average but nowhere near elite coach at the P5 level.

I also think it is fair to note that 2018 was, according to Sagarin, the easiest regular-season schedule Kelly has played at Notre Dame. USC and FSU were historically bad, and the toughest road game was at Northwestern. Lou Holtz probably would have had two more undefeated regular seasons if he had played schedules that easy.
