At what point though is he going to get credit from the non believers in the fan base? Is it simply a binary black and white question of winning a National Title or not?
Nattys are not the only thing missing. There are no major bowl wins. ND always gets the toughest available bowl opponent, but back in the day it was our policy to always accept the toughest invitation. There is also a dearth of regular season big wins, but a plethora of big busts. [thank you SAT flash cards].
So Kelly has established himself as top second tier coach who racks up lots of regular season wins over the 2nd and 3rd tier teams. He stabilized a program that was in chaos from bad coaching and lack luster University support. That gets you a statue at Michigan or Arizona State. But ND still has high standards.
