Brian Kelly: 'Gus Bradley is one of the best'

Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach Brian Kelly believes that Jacksonville Jaguars' Gus Bradley is one of the best coaches in the NFL.

Bradley guided a youthful roster to a 4-12 record in his first season at the club, and has made some key signings in the off-season as he looks to further improve his side.

"I'm fortunate enough that I get the chance to be around many head coaches across the NFL," Kelly told reporters. "I have a great relationship with a number of them.

"I think Gus Bradley is one of the finer head coaches that I've been around. I'm a big believer in the way he's built this program. You could see it last year with the way they finished, the buy-in."

Kelly has been head coach of the Fighting Irish since 2010.
