And yet he was a hair's breadth away from a title. by IrishJosh24

He won a semifinal game and was leading Bama by double digits in the fourth quarter of the final. He had led the entire game until under four minutes were left. Even in OT, his defense had Bama down three and standing outside of field goal range (at the 41 yard line). At that moment, it was hard not to like Georgia's chances. And then Bama did what Bama does - perfect play call, perfect pass (from a freshman to a freshman), touchdown, victory. Brian Kelly has never been anywhere near this close to a national championship.

I have a really hard time believing we'd be worse off with Smart, someone with two top-5 and two more top-10 finishes in five years at Georgia, and with three major bowl wins to boot. Kelly's record at ND over a similar period was 8-5, 8-5, 12*-1, 9*-4, and 8-5, with one top-5 finish, one more top-25 finish (both vacated), and no major bowl wins.
