Let’s cut the crap.

The following other active college coaches could win ten games against this schedule, assuming they work at least as hard as Kelly in recruiting and fielded a comparable roster:

Day
Orgeron
Swinney
Whittingham
Smart
Saban
Riley
Rhule
Harbaugh
Ferentz
Malzahn
Fleck
Dantonio
Shaw
Chryst
Petersen
Patterson
Fisher
Leach
Franklin
Norvell
Klieman
Harsin
Cristobal
Niumatalolo
Dykes
Mendenhall
Campbell
Gundy
Mullen

Meyer and some NFL guys might be able to pull it off, as well.

No, not all are “available”. Dabo and Saban are not.

No, not all are fits at ND. Fisher and Fleck are not.

No, not all are better than Kelly. Kelly is a fine coach. Probably better than a handful of these guys. But among decent coaches — and that list is not short — he is just one of the guys. If he stays, so be it. Shitcan Long and maybe improve a bit.

If he leaves, farewell. In this relationship, only one party is fungible, and it ain’t fucking us.
