BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly reiterated early Sunday that he plans
to be back as coach of the Fighting Irish after a 45-27 loss to rival Southern
California dropped the Fighting Irish to 4-8, their second-worst record in five
decades.Kelly said in the postgame news conference Saturday that Absolutely. Ill
be back.Hours later, Yahoo Sports reported that Kelly had reached out through
representatives to explore coaching options outside Notre Dame. About 3:40 a.m.
Sunday, the school tweeted a statement from Kelly saying he thought he had been
clear that he plans to return.I have not been, am not, and will not be
interested in options outside of Notre Dame. Im fully committed to leading this
program in the future, Kelly said in a tweet.Because Kelly said he wouldnt stay
in California recruiting as long as he has in past seasons after finishing the
season, some compared that to 2009 when Charlie Weis returned to South Bend
after a loss at Stanford and was fired. Kelly didnt return with the team to
South Bend after the loss on Saturday, but acknowledged hes coming back early.I
dont believe Im coming back early because Im getting fired, he said.Kelly said
Saturday he wasnt surprised about the speculation about his job status.You cant
be surprised when you go 4-8 that youre going to get those questions asked as
well, he said.Kelly said he plans to conduct exit interviews with players
Wednesday through Friday to get an idea on what changes need to be made. He said
he has to evaluate a lot of things, including his assistant coaches.Ive always
felt the continuity of blend and change is the sweet spot. For me, we need to
clearly look at where that is because it was off, he said.Kelly won at least
eight games in each of his first six seasons and started this season ranked No.
10 and finished with eight losses. There have been few seasons when hopes
started so high and finished so low. The Irish opened the 1956 season ranked No.
3 and finished 2-8, and were No. 4 to start the 19881 season in Gerry Fausts
first season and finished 5-6.
Bruce Brown Jr. Jersey. Kellys players also
backed him after the Irish wrapped up their worst season since Charlie Weis went
3-9 in 2007 with a dreary, waterlogged loss in Los Angeles.If anything, Coach
Kelly deserves another chance if people are talking about him being fired
because this is just one bad season, defensive tackle Jarron Jones said. Just
because we have one trip-up doesnt mean he should be fired.The season will be
remembered for Notre Dames inability to come up with big plays in close losses
to bad teams, falling to Texas (5-6), Michigan State (3-8), Duke (4-7) and North
Carolina State (5-6). Its just the 14th time in 128 seasons of playing football
the Irish have finished with a losing record.I thought we could play with
anybody this year, Kelly said. We just have not been able to sustain consistent
performance for four quarters. We have shown a propensity for some
self-inflicted wounds, whether they be on special teams or offense or
defense.Kelly called the defense a young group that is ascending and will make
big strides next year.As for the offense, its status will depend on whether
Kizer declares for the NFL draft or returns to school for his redshirt junior
season. Kizer said he has not made a decision yet.Kelly said the school had
requested draft evaluations for Kizer, left tackle Mike McGlinchey, left guard
Quenton Nelson and linebacker Nyles Morgan from the NFL.Kizer did say the
disappointing year gives him plenty of difficult tape to review and situations
he could learn from, trying to take some positives from a bad situation.Jones
believes the same holds true for Kellys tenure at Notre Dame.You never want to
think about the negative stuff, because the negative stuff taints the positive
memories, Jones said.---More AP college football:
