Former Grand Valley State University head football coach Brian Kelly has coached the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the BCS National Championship game.
Kelly won a pair of Division II titles during his tenure in Allendale from 1991-2003, with an overall record of 118-35-2. After coaching at Central Michigan and Cincinnati, Kelly became the head coach of Notre Dame in 2010.
The Fighting Irish are 12-0 this season behind a defense that has allowed only 10.7 points per game, good enough for a trip to the Discover BCS National Championship.
They face last year’s champion, the University of Alabama (12-1), coached by Nick Saban.
The game starts tonight at 8 p.m.
