A little humility from Kelly would be welcome by Irishrock

It’s not just that Kelly is prickly in post game press conferences. He’s intellectually dishonest and speaks with too much bravado

I know for a fact, this was told to me by a three year starter in Holtz’s heyday...that is media shtick was just that...an act. This player told me Holtz spoke one way to the media and another way to the tram. Holtz told the players something to the effect “don’t ever take what I say to the media seriously”.

Kelly is not a humble guy. I don’t think Holtz was either. But Kelly, like Weis, feel like they’ve got to brag too much and they have to be the smartest guy in the room.

If someone really liked Kelly they would pull the guy aside and say “Look Kelly...your bowl record is worse than Schembechler’s record. We all know it...and we certainly know that you know this. But talking tough ain’t going to make it go away. “Humble pie” you ought to take that approach”
