Haters of Notre Dame football, let us rejoice! Brian Kelly, the purple man-baby capable of blaming everybody but himself for Notre Dame's hilarious 2-5 season (so far) will be back leading the Irish in 2017.
From espn.com:
A fall from a preseason No. 10 ranking to a 2-5 start has left Notre Dame with a sour taste in its mouth, but athletic director Jack Swarbrick made it clear this week that Brian Kelly will not be coaching for his job once the Fighting Irish resume play out of this weekend's bye.
"Brian will lead this team out of the tunnel opening day next year," Swarbrick told ESPN.com.
My guess—and I'm just spitballing here, folks—is Swarbrick wanted no part in looking for a coach while an in-state power like Purdue would be doing the same.
Notre Dame is off this week. The Irish return on Oct. 29th to host the Miami Hurricanes.
