B. Kelly has been very relaxed in his approach to the game of late. This has rubbed off on his team and allowed them to play without his yelling and screaming. He states that he has allowed his defense to carry the team. However, he has mellowed a bit and his team has responded accordingly.

B. Kelly has done great things for ND. It is because of his low key approach instead of screaming and yelling and humiliating his gbs. It is stated that he lets his defense carry the day. However, his mellow view of the game has allowed his players to play up to potential and to stay relaxed under pressure.
