I'm not the biggest Notre Dame fan around, dare I say that I even hate them.....
That being said, I would expect them to be much better under Brian Kelly. He seems like a guy that can coach, and slimy enough to get some good recruits (not sure how much he kept from Weiss' last year).
Also, I like how he is trying to beef up the schedule. Who gives a shit if ND doesn't play Army or Navy if it is the difference in SOS points and gets them into a better bowl??
