IRISH NEWSLINK: “Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly should stop with the lame excuses” – Chicago Tribune

Brian Kelly, Headlines, Newslinks, Notre Dame Football Coaches, Notre Dame Football News

“… So a team with an NFL-caliber quarterback in DeShone Kizer, a team that opened the season ranked 10th in the nation, couldn’t win five games because the head coach was … too distracted? This is supposed to pass for an actual excuse? So it wasn’t that an out-of-touch Kelly made awful decisions regarding his staff? Kelly fired defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder after Notre Dame’s 1-3 start and in the offseason brought in a new offensive coordinator, new special teams coach, new strength coach and, according to SI.com’s Pete Thamel, a total of 17 new staffers. My word, can Kelly hire someone to give him a dose of reality? …”

“… Temple still doesn’t have a starting quarterback just two weeks ahead of traveling to South Bend. Three weeks of camp and an offseason of preparation have settled nothing in the four-pronged race for the starter’s crown. Redshirt junior Frank Nutile, redshirt sophomore Logan Marchi, redshirt freshman Anthony Russo and true freshman Todd Centeio again all split reps up and down the depth chart Saturday. …”

Brian Kelly, Headlines, Newslinks, Notre Dame Football Coaches, Notre Dame Football News

“Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said he spent too much time fundraising last season and not enough time overseeing his football team. ‘It f—ed up last year’s team,’ Kelly told Bleacher Report in a story published Thursday. Notre Dame was considered one of the biggest underachievers in football last season. The Irish were ranked No. 10 in the preseason but went 4-8 in 2016, losing seven games in the fourth quarter. …”

“Among the 15 Notre Dame full-time football head coaches since Jesse Harper in 1913, Brian Kelly is only the fifth to reach his eighth season. The only four with longer tenures are the “Mount Rushmore” of the program: Knute Rockne’s 13 seasons (1918-30) prior to his premature death, and then the 11-year reigns of Frank Leahy (1941-43, 1946-53), Ara Parseghian (1964-74) and Lou Holtz (1986-96). …”

“… Teams rebuild. Programs reload. #NotreDame was … near the bottom in 2016 with only 10 starters returning … the result was a 4-8 outcome. … partly because it still remains a team and is not a program. … Phil Steele released his pre-spring experience chart for all 129 Football Bowl Subdivision teams, based on the number of starters returning on offense and defense. … Notre Dame was tied with 23 others for 25th in most starters returning with 15 (eight on offense and seven on defense). … here is the breakdown of starting experience returning among the 2017 Irish opposition, from most to least …”

“University of Notre Dame junior quarterback DeShone Kizer has decided to forego his final two years of eligibility to make himself available for the 2017 National Football League Draft. ‘DeShone is an extremely gifted quarterback that was faced with a difficult decision,’ Irish head coach Brian Kelly said. ‘He could return as a senior captain at Notre Dame — a place that he loves, and with a program that respects him immensely. Or, he could begin the next chapter in his life and accept the opportunity that likely awaits in the NFL. While he chose the latter, the type of leadership DeShone displayed this past season will benefit our program moving forward. He’ll certainly be missed on and off the field, but we’re very happy for him and his family. DeShone will always represent this University with the utmost professionalism and class.’ …”
