I just named 24 coaches I'd be equally confident in when it comes to their ability to run a competent program at ND.

Could any of them build a legit national championship contender? Of course. Could I predict which ones? Hell no.

But, after 12 years, we know for certain that Brian Kelly has maxed out.

It's time for someone new.
