(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/elkabong/dev.ndnation.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131Parseghian went from 2 and 7 in ’63 to 9 and 1 in his first season with, essentially, the same players. Devine inherited Ross Browner, Luther Bradley, Rusty Lisch (lol) and Joe Montana. Holtz’s record didn’t improve immediately but the quality of football did. The costly turnovers, stupid penalties and flat performances of the Faust Era disappeared immediately. After a year and a half Kelly’s teams are just as sloppy and undisciplined as Wies’ making him another mediocre coach in what has become a procession of mediocrity since Holtz.
]]>Poor Frodo! Hobbits should be left out of this! Did you mean /Fredo/?
]]>Excellent point. That was a cheap shot on Flutie’s part. Would he have said that if we beat them 31-13? Oh wait, that’s the score by which we beat Michigan State…
]]>Nice…
]]>Those coaches certainly would have gone undefeated with them–but not in their first or second season. It takes time to purge the culture of losing, reinstill the culture of victory. I’m not even that crazy about Kelly, and sometimes I just flat dislike him. But the fact is it takes time. Kelly inherited more than just players of various skill levels, and it’s not Kelly’s fault that the University of Notre Dame has fumbled the football program with bad choices way worse than Crist fumbled that ball. And that’s saying quite a bit.
]]>Four catches for 28 yards against SC. Rees struggles with the good defenses and always will because of his limited ability. I’m grateful for the wins, but he’s also contributed greatly to the losses (Tulsa, USF, UM, SC.) He was lucky not to hang an L on us last year at SC too. I root hard for him every Saturday, but the record is misleading and there’s very little upside.
]]>Kelly probably didn`t know that you could get that many 5 stars in one class.As of yesterday he just lost a 4 star out of next year`s class.His comments about his team probably didn`t help,nor his side line tirades.
]]>Agreed. Kelly is right where Holtz was in his second year after 21 games. And you could see flashes of dominance in those teams like we are seeing now by this point in Lou’s tenure. GO IRISH!!!
