Brian Kelly has a contract through 2021 with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but his legacy at the university may already be set in stone.
Kelly, who has the most victories (230) of any coach currently coaching an Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) program, will undoubtedly come up short when Irish fans rank their team’s best coaches.

Comparing Brian Kelly to Legends
Brian Kelly is the worst coach Notre Dame has ever allowed to oversee its football team for at least 90 games. Of course, context is important here — the only other coaches to lead the Irish that long were Knute Rockne (122 games), Frank Leahy (107), Ara Parseghian (116) and Lou Holtz (132).
