Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly once wanted to be an Irish pol in Massachusetts

Ideally, one always works at one does best - and enjoys most - but bravo for the administrative and campaign work Kelly did! As my mother always said: "you have only one obligation in this life - to make wherever you live a better place for your having been there." Hart may not have made it through the primary process, but he had some good ideas (presumably Kelly's State Senator did as well) and working to get those ideas across is certainly every bit as worth taking pride in as the coaching which is Kelly's life now. Bravo for being a well rounded person! I hope Kelly's able to get that across to his players as well as the simple discipline on the field.
