"before you accept this job, understand this:

1. We expect to win...despite the fact that we're always looking to have the toughest schedule possible
2. We believe in student athletes and our players will graduate our players
3. You will not cheat or you will be gone"

That's what Father Joyce told Holtz.

Look, Kelly's schedules are a slap in the face to our prior coaches and players. Michigan put a clown suit on Kelly and those losses were embarrassing. If ND wins the 2019 game, I believe Harbaugh is gone. Navy losses were embarrassing. Tulsa...I don't even know how to put that one into words. 2016, how did he survive that year?

The schedule has really emboldened a lot of people at ND (not this site) and given them a strong sense of superiority when anybody with a brain should be able to recognize that the ACC tie up has weakened the schedule.
