Tough to pick a school and not a coach when playing football. Coaches have the biggest control and impact on your life for the time youre in school playing football. They pretty much control your life for 4-5 years. And they can be cool or the biggest *******s. They might like you and see your potential or dislike you and think your a waste of money and not helping them look good.
Kelly is a bigger loss for ND than a lot seem to think IMO. The program hasnt been dominant since the Lou Holtz run in the late 80s to early 90s. The program was 16-21 the three seasons before he took over under Charlie Weis. Kelly's last 5 years ND is 54-9 and all 5 years over 10 wins. Kelly wins everywhere he goes.
It's another reason it's good the players can move around more now. Coaches hate it because they lose some power. I know a guy that played at a Big 8 school back in the day. He graduated in 4 years and got beat out by a juco in the spring. He wanted to transfer but the coach wouldnt ok it so he decided not to play his 5th year. He wouldve been able to grad transfer now. The coach couldve left but he was at the coaches mercy.
