It’s funny how in the most technologically advanced time in human history, with the ability to record and store seemingly every moment of life, that public figures continue to lie their asses of to rewrite recent history. Sure, the masses have proved to be sheep in many aspects, and will buy the nonsense right away — but only for a short time.
This brings me to former Notre Dame head coach, Brian Kelly.

Brian Kelly has always been referred to as a “politician” because of the way he supposedly talks about certain issues surrounding him or the teams he has coached. I think some people believe this to be some type of compliment that credits Kelly for knowing what the right thing to say in the moment just so happens to be.
It’s utter bullshit.
Brian Kelly “talking like a politician” just means that he lies. He lies — and then lies some more. He lies to bend the narrative surrounding him at the time, and nothing makes that more clear than his recent interview on College Sports on SiriusXM.
Kelly talks about how he had no intention of leaving and mentioned they were building their dream house (which I used as a big reason why he wasn’t leaving ND in a story I published just 20 seconds before the news of him leaving ND broke). But then… he says that he felt his job was finished. Not just done — he completed the task he had of bringing Notre Dame back to being an elite program — national championship be damned.

So, he was either lying back then about his reasons or he’s lying right now — right?
No. He was lying BOTH times, because Brian Kelly is a liar.
Every bit of this is him trying to rewrite the events that HE brought on by himself. There’s no one to blame, but himself, and so he makes it about “his truth” like some entitled 19 year old sophomore who he probably sneers at when he passes them on the corner in his Prius.
Obviously, Notre Dame is in much better shape than the Excuse Maker In Chief. Marcus Freeman has flipped the narrative surrounding the Irish — even so far as having them be the betting favorites to win the national championship. So while it shouldn’t bother me that Kelly is out there running his mouth and twisting history — it does.

He made Notre Dame out to be a stepping stone program as he fled for LSU, but as it turns out, he’s just a stepping stone coach — and that’s the truth.
