SOUTH BEND, IN (WTVB) – Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says he was disappointed to receive a vote of confidence from athletic director Jack Swarbrick last week, saying “Anytime that your athletic director has to come out and say that, as a head coach you’re disappointed that any comments like that have to be made.”
The Fighting Irish are saddled with an underachieving 2-5 record and Swarbrick addressed speculation pertaining to Kelly’s status by insisting that “Brian will lead this team out of the tunnel opening day next year.”
