Notre Dame football fans are in high spirits on Saturday morning. Not only did the Irish score a big victory over the Indiana Hoosiers, but they awoke to the knowledge that once again, former head coach Brian Kelly is someone else's problem. And he's sitting at home watching the playoffs rather than preparing for his own race to the National Title.
Irish fans are in fact so happy that they're taking social media to rub it in the LSU head man's face a bit. And it's not just Blue and Gold faithful doing it. The Bayou Bengals' coach got plenty of grief from all over social media.

Brian Kelly's reasons for leaving Notre Dame for LSU were brought up a lot.
Remember when Brian Kelly left ND because they couldn’t compete in a playoff? How’s that working out for him?

There are some serious similarities between Brian Kelly and Indiana coach Curt Cignetti that has Notre Dame football fans excited about what's going on in South Bend.
Is how we feel right now, how every other fanbase felt when they beat Brian Kelly when he was HC at Notre Dame? Cignetti was such a smug prick all week long that it feels so good to humble him.

You don't always need a reason to blast Brian Kelly.

When I was in HS. Indiana called the house to offer me a scholarship. I didn’t even come to the phone. They had to FedEx it a week later.
Think about it. We ain’t losing to IU.
…and f*ck Brian Kelly, just because!
Brian Kelly made a big mistake when he left the Fighting Irish.
Easy schedule. Easy playoff game.

The Notre Dame football team has some things to worry about. There's concern over Rylie Mills and Jeremiyah Love needs to get healthy. But Blue and Gold fans don't need to worry about Brian Kelly since he's now in purple and gold.
