Well it's easier to play DL than OL anyway. We need to run some draw plays to try to slow those guys down.

We'll take free yards too lol

Fuck Tommy Rees.

Honestly Jay, outside of the complete lack of QB play last night I didn't see anything that screamed "lack of coaching" to me. Tommy Rees just doesn't have the tools to be a very good college QB against upper tier talent and makes fucking awful choices with the football, Hendrix is really raw though he oozes talent, and Everett Golson is primed and ready to take over college football

Notre Dame was competant QB play away from winning that game last night pretty easily. Especailly with the way the defense played. Instead Rees is missing Floyd open down the field, throwing two more red zone picks, and Hendrix drilled a pass into the stomach of an FSU linebacker.

That's not coaching that's just Rees being fuicin bad and stupid with the football and Hendrix being raw and not a very good passer to begin with.

Get ready for Golson/Hendrix next year in a Chris Leak/Tim Tebow-esque rotation. Rees can hold a clipboard and go to hell.

I'm done with him. The last pass to Goodman was absurdly bad. Even the circus Floyd catch was piss poor, luckily Floyd went nuts and made the play....and Rees got him pretty much killed twice. How the fuck you underthrow a fade route with about 15 yards of open endzone behind Michael fucking Floyd is beyond comprehension.

It's the stupid shit like having to call a timeout after a punt. I will never be able to wrap my mind around that. And when you're coaching your 26th game and having the 26th straight argument, screaming at your quarterback, you'd think you'd figure it out. There is absolutely no excuse for going 8-5 this year. None. Kelly hasn't been a good closer at ND. I also feel like the man doesn't adjust at halftime. Jimbo did. Instead, I think Kelly goes into the locker room and tries to tell them what they were doing wrong and how to fix it, rather than completely adjusting to what happened in the first half.

But ND did adjust at halftime. They decided to sit back on defense instead of continuing to get after EJ Manuel. Hardly any stunts or blitzes in the second half until it was too late.

I don't want Tommy Rees to ever see the field again. The team is ready to move up but there is one thing holding them back, the QB.

And with the football season ending, we enter one of my favorite times of the season outside of the season, RECRUITING!

If that's the case, I hope Alford will be moved back to coaching the running backs. I don't think he's doing very good of a good job with the receivers.

Is there a good reason why the defensive backs coach is now the offensive coordinator/QB coach? This seems like a bad idea.

Also, Hinton and Warriner are officially gone.

The Martin move is curious at best although he was an OC under Kelly at GVSU wasn't he?

Sounds like both Hinton and Warriner are going to OSU.

He was Kelly's DC per his UND bio. He did call plays on offense when he was the HC at GVSU though.

This move really concerns me given the QB performance under Kelly.
