Probably the best I have read this year from Irish writers. I may not have agreed with everything but it was a straight up great article. Hey can anyone really believe that Lou Couldn’t find someone who wanted to run the ball at SC. LOL. Was Ty recruiting there or something????

I check in regularly to supplement my scant football knowledge, and really enjoy the discussion. My big take-away from all this information is that successful coaches (like Holtz and Brown) end up adjusting their “scheme” or style of play to the kinds of players they have. Obvious, I’m sure.

Digging deeper is recognizing the relationship between offense and defense, wherein keeping the defense off the field (possessing the ball) yields fewer points for the opponent. Also pretty obvious, though one might argue that Weis never quite grasped that concept.

Finally there’s the human factor of developing a tough, smart team (such as Holtz fielded at Notre Dame), and how a “grittier” running playbook can develop that toughness. Interesting. From all I’ve read–and the late-season play of last year’s Irish team–it sounds like Kelly is good at developing toughness and football smarts. Chris Brown thinks so, too. Which offers a better outlook than we’ve seen over the defensive genius (Davie), the mysterious messiah (Willingham), or the wicked schemer (Weis).

Can’t wait to see this new team.
