Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly is
o cially on the preseason watch list
of possible recipients of the upcoming
season’s Bobby Dodd Trophy. That
Kelly is now on the list is already a
cause for celebration, as it is a
testament to the impact the Fighting
Irish coach has had on the players, the
university, and the surrounding
community.

college football coaches in the
country. It doesn’t just consider wins
and losses and transcends rankings in
its meticulous selection process, but
leadership, scholarship, and integrity;
many consider it the most-coveted
national coaching award in college
football.
Coach Brian Kelly certainly deserves to
be given the award, especially
following a solid, 10-win season last
year. It makes sense that he didn’t get
into the list last year, following a poor
4-8 record in 2016, but the more
recent showing of Notre Dame just
proves great coaching can quickly turn
teams around.
Many ranking a cionados have
already placed Kelly among the best
current coaches, especially for
bringing the team back on track. He
already had a 59-31 record entering
the past season. And since he took the
helm in December 2009, Kelly has
already led the Notre Dame program
to last year’s revelation turn-around,
as well as received a slew of honors
and awards which includes the
Football Writers Association and the
Associated Press College Football
COTY awards in 2012.
