I have been informed by a source close to the situation that today as many as 20 influential boosters met with Kelly and Swarbrick and requested they resign from their positions. Neither man chose to follow through with the resignations and some tension clearly left the meeting room. One booster reportedly asked Kelly directly how he could be unaware of the severe weather conditions to which Kelly replied that he was unaware.

Let's hear the ND faithful counter this. Seems that even the big-whigs there believe someone was at fault.

Notre Dame is spiraling worse than I would ever have imagined they could.

If they asked him to resign, and he refused, they need to fire him.

And he will get paid still which is why I am sure he won't resign.

He is holding out for the payday, which he should do. I do think he deserves to be fired. I still think it was a crime and he should be prosecuted.

I wouldn't go nearly that far. I don't like Kelly at all but he didn't chain the kid up there.

So you know for a fact that Kelley didn't tell that kid to get up there or else? Or something along that line?

As head coach, he's responsible for the safety and well being of those charged to him. If this kid would have simply fallen off one of the lifts, that's an accident. The fact that he allowed him go up there in dangerous conditions, when the equipment clearly stated that they were not to be used in such conditions, makes him responsible. He should without a doubt be fired, and they would have a pretty good case against him in a criminal case IMO.

I thoroughly agree.:thumb:

I don't want to know what's right or wrong, I just want honesty on this: If Notre Dame was 8-1 right now, would the boosters be asking for Kelly's resignation?

Of course not.

Or if he hadn't made such a dumb call the last game.

It's been more than one game this season.

What's the criminal offense?
