Brian Kelly’s resignation from Notre Dame’s football team could have been a shock, but in the end, the Irish will benefit from his continuation.

Earlier this week, Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly announced his departure as Louisiana State University’s next head coach. The news surprised almost everyone. Despite the blindness, there is reason to believe that Notre Dame could ultimately benefit from this movement in the long run.

November 29, 2021 is likely to become one of the most significant dates in the history of the Notre Dame football program. Brian Kelly, the most successful head coach in Notre Dame’s football history, has announced his resignation as LSU’s next head coach.

On the evening of November 29, I couldn’t have imagined writing a title like this article. The news was particularly deflating as the current Notre Dame football team is a stone’s throw from the College Football playoffs. As we learned on Tuesday night, the loss of a head coach will affect how the selection committee classifies your team.

However, the last five days have felt like five weeks. That distortion of time has given me perspective. In addition to this, the atmosphere surrounding the Notre Dame football team has reached full 180.

We have since learned that Marcus Freeman will be the next head coach of the Notre Dame football team. The movement, which was unanimously praised by the current staff, players and recruits. In addition to Freeman, virtually all current staff members have confirmed they will remain in South Bend.

Keep yourself blessed, Irish fans, because Oklahoma Sooners fans would do anything to be in your position.

Staff continuity will certainly play a huge role in helping Notre Dame’s football program maintain its current level of success as Marcus Freeman gets used to the increased responsibilities of being the head coach.

There are a few other by-products in this week’s development that I think will benefit Notre Dame in both the short and long term. Here are three of them.
