Hey Tulsa was a power......nevermind.
I think many ND fans were ready to quit on Kelly at that time. But given that they had the film guy die that week, people were more forgiving. What was harder to take was getting shelled by Navy. Sure they lost to them in the Weis years. That's OK, cause the Irish were just not that good and Weis not being a good head coach. Plus, I think it is nice to see the Academy teams do well. But to have no answer at all for Navy was something else.
Davie, Weis and Willingham all got off to pretty good starts. Time will tell if kelly can really coach at this level. I am not so sure that a good academic school in the midwest can really hang year after year with Southeastern & CA schools that have much more fertile recruiting grounds. But you would think with the national exposure ND has, a good coach could do a lot better than ND has done. Let's face it, that administration hired some average at best coaches.
