No

Notre Dame football is about legendary accomplishments: championships, Heisman trophy wins, and since 1970 major bowl wins. Kelly has none of those. I didn't even mention the unprecedented sanctions on his watch.

The verdict is clear: Kelly is not good enough to build a team that can win two playoff games. He's never come close to winning one. He's topped out with a few big regular season/minor bowl wins in a decade at the helm of his program. Any decent coach in College Football can boast of a few big wins. Given ND's position in College Football, those results are not "success".

The next three years is unlikely to change the verdict.
