Still Voting Kelly for Prez

Nobody handles adversity, nobody straps the boots up tighter, nobody circles the wagons when things are not going right like Brian Kelly.

Okay. Well maybe Eisenhower. Greatest general of WWII. Helped win the war. Became president. Yeah, he might be better.

But Brian Kelly is still getting my vote for President.

After losing two games in row to Louisville (somewhat understandable) and Pitt (no at all understandable), Kelly did something that most coaches, and our president alike, are reluctant to do: He made immediate changes.

Kelly replaced running back Butler Benton with Jacob Ramsey, and he replaced offensive lineman Marty Gilyard as well.

Why? Let's let my write-in candidate tell you himself:

"Too many mistakes. Those guys are great kids and have worked hard. We have to change some things. You can't continue to say 'great effort.' If you make mistakes and continue to make them, they have to know they're not going to be on the field It's not anything else other than production or lack thereof."

Tremendous.

Can you imagine if our current president had handled the Hurricane Katrina situation this way? Instead of endless sound bites where our fearless leader patted the Horse Head (aka Mike Brown) on the back and shouted, "You're doing a heck of job, Brownie. Heck of a job", all the while ignoring the obvious mistakes, we would have been treated to a television conference where Brown would've been fired.

The American people would've immediately been told the reason for his firing was because "Brownie" made too many mistakes. He would have announced the former Secretary of State Colin Powell was being named to replace him, along with turning full control of the National Guard over to Powell to command as he saw fit. Kelly then would have announced that all funds, and any other government assistance needed, would be made immediately available to the people of New Orleans, and that he, President Kelly (nice ring to it), would be going to work on getting the legislation necessary to rebuild the New Orleans levees in the correct and updated manner.

Then he would announce that the New Orleans Saints would never leave the city, and the first game back in the Superdome would be free to all residents.

Hey, he's still a football coach at heart.
