Mike, I get your point and see how Coach Kelly could have chosen his words more carefully, but I really think you’re stretching. Where you see a dig, I see a throwaway statement, and I don’t think I’m alone. There’s no “there” there (at least as far as this quote goes – there’s plenty of better examples we can discuss).

In reply to Kayo. Word. Even if Hayes does something Sandusky-esque, there would be no reason for Flipper to say anything negative about Hayes. Leave it to reporters like ByMarriage if there's anything to find out about Hayes.

I am no Brain Kelly fan. He has berated & grabbed players on the sidelines in full view of fans and alumni watching on national TV. he has all the talent in the world and no imagination on offense. Remember Woody Hayes ” 3 yards & a cloud of dust”. Well that doesn’t work anymore in college football, but BK must think so. ND advanced to the National Championship game because of Manti Teo and that great defense. The offense has done nothing in the BK era. Get rid of him and bring in a coach with some imagination on offense and you will see ND at the TOP of the Rankings

I see a lot of Kelly apologists saying “he knows more than we do.” Sure, but if Hayes was such a problem
(i.e., smoking grass, not showing up for class), why was he still here for 4 years? Others with those
problems have been shown the door, and their transgressions have been well documented. With all the
other problems this team has had under Brian Kelly’s “leadership,” the only thing that has come out
about Jay Hayes in 4 years was 2 tweets in September 2015 that criticized the coaching staff–a
coaching staff that just about everyone at this point agrees was very much deserving of criticism
(hi, BVG). On its own, this isn’t a big deal. The problem is, we have a laundry list of statements and
actions from Brian Kelly that show he is a petty, insecure man. This is all just another example of those
issues.

In reply to pete. Brian Kelly gets more admissions breaks right now than any coach since Holtz. And I wouldn't call schedules like 2019 "over the top" at all.

If Kelly loses 3 games or more this coming season he should be fired. The problem is as long as Notre Dame sticks with these over the top schedules and refuses to bend some on admissions what top coach will take this job. Urban Meyer had 2 chances to come to his dream job and decided to go to Florida and Ohio State. Wonder why?

Go back to when Kelly was announced as the head coach for Notre Dame. In his first press conference he stated, “There are college football coaches, then there is the coach at Notre Dame”. He immediately put himself at the top of the pedestal.

He has yet to put his team at the top of the pedestal. He has only caused controversy. He is a total jerk and nobody can convince me of otherwise.

We have rapist, dopers, cheaters and thieves on the football team at NOTRE DAME. Instead of playing with that type of player and having seasons like Alabama and Ohio State, we can’t win. We get victories vacated as well.

Get rid of the bum!

In reply to Mike Coffey. The interview was at 9:00 am the morning after the clownrape. Or, about 9 hours after the final gun

In reply to Dave. It's most certainly not a one-note site. Your analytical abilities are sorely lacking. No matter what Hayes might have done or what Kelly knew, the appropriate response from the HC was to be anodyne, not read-between-the-lines snarky.

In reply to Steve. I don't think he killed anyone. I'm disappointed he once again chose to disparage a player in an effort to deflect the possibility of criticism. This was supposed to be a thing of the past for the Brian Kelly reboot. Obviously it's not.
