You are talking about a coach who has been to three Rose Bowls in four years and five BCS caliber bowls in his tenure and never had a losing season. He has more goodwill accumulated than Santa and the Tooth Fairy combined.
It's hard to remember, because the last two games have been so awful, but we still have a winning record after having gone through the hardest portion of our schedule.
Not to say that we shouldn't be playing better. But David Shaw's seat is colder than Elsa's ice castle in Frozen.
What's the feeling in South Bend these days (among the sane people; I am sure there are people who call for Kelly's head after every loss)? The ND faithful tends to have a bit more of a "what have you done for me lately?" attitude than we do, but he has never done worse than 8-5, and has a 12-1 season with a trip to the National Championship in his back pocket. And he has a better record than anyone since Lou Holtz (though that kind of ignores the fact that both Willingham and Weiss were fired).
