Chip Long from Memphis

Has the definition of great been skewed?

Good possibly, but great?
There is nothing in coach Long's resume to define great at this point though it might prove to be.

There's nothing in your resume period. You know nothing about football coaching or football period. If a football coach and a coach bag were side by side. You wouldn't know the difference. Stick with what you know best. Nothing Dippy Doo.

That Stanford win today must be eating you alive

My resume consist of 25 yrs in the USMC 5 combat tours

How bout you laundry boy?
 
I actually think the hires were good. I am sure there may be better ones/ However, both coordinators are solid. The question is can kelly be a true manager and not destroy their abilities. This team could be outstanding next year if Kelly just gets the coffee for the other coaches
I think everyone hopes that they are good. This kid has 1 year OC experience under the watchful eye of his mentor. At 33 there is not much of a resume..... Elko is no big deal either. Sanford was supposed to turn the room upside down. I doubt Long is better than he was.... Agree on kelly...He's a menace to team success...

Kudos to you DIP and thank you for your service. Holy sh**, those are some serious survival instincts. Well done.

Thank you brother. This florida cat is a sad individual.

No, thank you, seriously. That's some heavy duty stuff.

PS Scary, that he claims to be around kids.... His claim of doing laundry with an NFL player was priceless.

....last heard shrieking, "tough grass stains, I'll Shout it out."

Sandusky creepy type ..... very doubtful that he even played a single down........typical tosser!
I believe he is a coach in some manor, but in No way a teacher of youngnen.
His antics on this board proves this.
I have made several attempts to try and reach a common ground but each time rejected harshly.
So now I'll just use his words against him. No matter how smart he thinks he is he's a piss poor example of a coach

He clearly is intellectually challenged!
 
Kelly likes QB's who turn it over ..... i.e...... Tommy Turnover ..... as good as Kizer was ... and he was good ... at times .... Kizer made some awful turnovers ..... oh ... and the guy who had zero turnovers will be transferring
IMO Kizer was an outstanding QB, but the turnover trademark turned it's head again
Now coach Long will try to make a difference with another pass happy scheme, at least from what I've read.
Will he be the one to correct the TO issues? Even if he does that still puts an offense on the field that will either move down it quickly, or 3 and outs. Both do the defense no favors, and you will need a defense with a deep bench inorder to have fresh personnel on the field throughout the game.
That's a tall order for the new DC

DIP...you touched on one of my main criticisms of Kelly's style of play. You need to have a talented and deep front seven on defense if you have an offense that either scores or punts quickly, and we have neither. We have enough talent for Elko to put a decent defense on the field, better than any play under BVG, but not the talent or depth to force a lot of three and out for opposing offenses. We can know a lot about Long's offensive sets, and the fact the Memphis offense ran almost exactly fifty percent of the time, but we don't know how this will translate to ND since Kelly will be calling the plays.

IMO Kizer was a very good QB most of the time .... an avg QB some of the time .... an awful QB some of the time ... i.e. ..... inconsistent .... IMO probably could've been more consistent with a more balanced offense .... i.e. .... a more consistent running game

Totally agree on the effect the offense has on the defense .... defense has to improve drastically in its' ability to stuff the run .... hard to get off the field when opposing offenses get 2nd and short and 3rd and short ... all the time

When I saw the OC hire .... I thought .... Memphis? ... how can a guy be rated a top 25 recruiter by anybody from Memphis? .... seriously? .... does he get Memphis their share of really good 3 stars? ... none the less IIO gives him his 2 thumbs up so I have to digress for now on that ..... regardless of the hire I don't think anyone thinks Kelly is going to give this coach room to do his thing and in the end Kelly will screw it up ..... we'll have to wait and see ... unfortunately

Is BW a sure thing to win the QB job? Does Book have a shot?
Either way the pressure will be on one or the other probably both.

Coach Kelly use to not be shy about putting a different QB in from time to time, but that change after Rees took over.

Maybe both, and an unknown might get plenty of game time experience

Probably .... I think any time BK has declared that there will be a QB competition .... publicly .... IMO ... in reality BK already knows who he wants to play and will look for the 1st excuse he can use to hand the job to the guy he wants .... and leave it with his guy come hell or high water ..... translation .... whoever the QB is will be who Kelly wants .... right or wrong ... often wrong

I see Santa wasn't able to provide you with some intelligence.
 
Telx you know the direction I was going in; I just got up from my afternoon nap to see this on the B&G front page. He's doing exactly what he said he'd do after the season. He's gone out and brought in a highly successful defensive coordinator- who is a grinder on the recruiting trail, a highly successful offensive coordinator to run the offense and coach tight end, and a highly successful special teams coach to straighten out the mess. Three excellent young coaches with that have reputations of being power recruiters also. He said that he wanted to move around the whole team and insure nothing like last year occurs again. He is actually reinventing himself. It's going to be a real interesting season in 2017. He's made three big-time hires so far this off season. Well done Coach Kelly. I hope this report is accurate and Kelly gets his OC/TE coach.

Big time hires??? Bwahahahahahahaha. Holy Lord, you folks are over your skis. Understand this and understand it well, this team is fractured and no amount of dancing, sunshine pumping......or other crap is going to change that... How did Sanford work out? His resume is a billion times better than Long's. How is Long possibly better? Elko? .... another dice roll. It is not getting better. NCAA probation, vacated wins.....If Polian is assigned the west coast he is going to go head first into a brick wall.

PS The best OC ND has had in years was just spotted in the East river.

2 excellent hires by Kelly. Your brain is fractured and Aaron Banks is from California. That is some brick wall.
How did Coach Booger make out against FSU?

Yeah, Long is striking fear in our opponents. His resume is dwarfed by Sanford's. So, we went backwards there. As for Elko, who knew that the key to a dominating defense at ND resided at Wake Forest? Seriously, how many years is it going to take him to install his "Domesday D"? I can't wait to hear the excuses....

We're bottom feeding and hoping that a couple of flyers catch lightening in a bottle, but keep pumping sunshine....

Yeah, and bet your bottom dollar Polian is going to have his hands full. I look forward to seeing him.

Polian is all business. He does not have time for jock sniffers.
Sanford did zilch. Never heard such praise for a qb coach. Funny stuff.

The OC position definitely a step backwards
Funny.....Do you and cgvr take turns liking each other's posts or do you just switch your user name?

As far as the OC, I don't know what it is right now so I'm keeping an open mind. Sanford did what he needed at ND and was rewarded with a head coaching position. I hope Long follows that same path to a better position. It will mean he did well at ND.

Yeah, but he has time for me. It is going to be real dicey for him.
 
Aaron Banks.
He may stay....maybe not....
JT Daniels.....bwahahahahahahaha.
Polian has bridges to rebuild (if he is assigned the west coast) and there is no guarantee that he can do it...
