Lou Holtz the latest to express disappointment in Brian Kelly

Has anyone associated with Notre Dame not come forward and stated their displeasure for Brian Kelly’s actions in leaving for LSU?

Brady Quinn has, assistant coaches may not have by words but certainly rallied together based off their actions, and plenty of fans and former players did the same.

You can now add Lou Holtz to the list of those agitated by the now LSU head coach.

“You just don’t leave Notre Dame,” Holtz said Wednesday on The Crowd’s line which he co-hosts with Mark May. “You don’t go to Notre Dame for the money!”

“The other thing that bothered me about him, he never talked about Notre Dame and what really made it great,” Holtz continued, “To be part of Notre Dame you’ve got to talk about the Lady on the Dome…you have to feel the spirit of Notre Dame and you’ve just got to be part of it!”

Holtz also mentioned how Kelly’s biggest win at Notre Dame came against a Clemson team playing without their best player and did praise the accomplishments of Kelly under the dome, but did finish with a bit more of a jab:

“To go somewhere for money, I just don’t think that’s the right reason.”

Personally I was fairly surprised how reserved Holtz was in discussing this compared to how he often can be.
