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

IRISH NEWSLINK: “Brian Kelly says his inattention to detail was a factor in Notre Dame’s subpar 2016” – ESPN
“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). …”
