IRISH NEWSWATCH: “Ignore the scoreboard, Notre Dame is a bad football team” – Fort Wayne News-Sentinel

#NOTREDAME #FOOTBALL: The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel’s Tom Davis comments:
“Notre Dame is a bad football team. That is the problem. Poor coaching, poor coaching decisions, and poor execution by its players (which is certainly related to the poor coaching) are merely the symptoms. ‘I love the way we compete and play hard,’ Kelly said. ‘We’ve lost six close games that easily could have went our way.’ It is true that Notre Dame has had many opportunities to win games this year in the final minutes. But good teams – well-coached teams – find ways to win games, while poorly coached teams do the opposite. We now have enough data gathered since Labor Day to show that Notre Dame isn’t just a young team that is enduring hard luck, it is a bad team led by a coach that is doing a bad job this year.
