job is to coach the football team, not to graduate players, but Kelly's job is to graduate players and to have a good football team. The same can be said for the other successful--and many unsuccessful--schools; football first, academics only enough to qualify for football. In fact, many of the other schools penalize players if they take academics too seriously and it affects their football work. In my opinion, this priority difference at different schools makes a big difference in the product each school puts on the field, not the only difference, but a considerable one.
