Don't blame Notre Dame's Brian Kelly for Bearcats blowout in Sugar Bowl

Cincy's defense sucked with Kelly there too. I suppose that Cincy may have scored a bit more with Kelly there, but not enough to make a difference. Cincy was overrated and all that was proven is that talent matters in big time college football. The sad thing is that Diaco will be ND's next defensive coordinator. Now THAT is frightening.

Are you kidding? Cincinnatti stunk on D the whole year. Kelly would have made no difference at all against Florida. Notre Dame got a better PR version of Weiss. Notre Dame needed somebody who could run a ball-controll offense to protect the D, instead you got a no-huddle spread offense guy. You wanted Kelly, you got him. The good & the bad.

Cincy might have scored a couple more point if he were still there, but to think he would have had any more of a defensive game plan is just plain stupid. He hasn't organized much of one all season, much less in the last half of the year. Why would anyone expect that would change for the Sugar Bowl? He's left that to Diaco, and we see where that has left them. Now you get to experience their wonderful "defensive plan" next year.
