FBC–NOTRE DAME GETS IT RIGHT.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – This is all you really need to know about new Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly: His football teams win – a lot. How does he do it? Well, Kelly is a smart and charismatic leader with an almost mystical ability to make any quarterback he touches play like an All-American. By why get bogged down in the details? What truly separates Kelly from the last three Notre Dame coaches is this number: .747. That’s Kelly’s winning percentage in 19 seasons as a college football coach. It certainly looks as if Notre Dame got it right this time. By College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo.
