It was almost fitting that Notre Dame was in Chicago for the game Brian Kelly passed Knute Rockne for the most wins by a football coach in program history. Rockne was after all from Chicago having grown up in the Logan Square neighborhood before taking off to attend and play football at Notre Dame.
So what better way was there for Kelly to celebrate breaking Rockne’s record than by participating in two of the things Chicago is most known for: pizza and traffic.
Kelly was on the Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday and described the celebration that was a bit of a throwback for the former Grand Valley State head coach.
“We were in Chicago so we celebrated with some pizza and by sitting on a bus in traffic getting out of Chicago” Kelly stated, noting it was like being back in Division II football or like in minor league baseball. He also shared that he understands why its a big deal but was more excited to see some of Notre Dame’s young players develop against a good Wisconsin team.
The interview also gets to how the showdown with Cincinnati this week was scheduled and into the relationship between Kelly and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
