Here is a word thats thrown around a lot
This team and coaching staff is loaded with leadership

Brian Kelly give him credit. He changed.
He listened to his players-
The guy is a likeable guy- embraced relationships with his kids/ players.
He FINALLY created a team built on good old fashion
“ Power”
Finally Got rid of dead wood coaches
Never will he mix- friends with business again.
Let’s talented coaches. What a job.
He’s reached his potential.

Mike McGlinchey- Guy could have left and said the hell with this. He wanted to leave his mark and I think he will be looked back on years from now as a guy who gave us back our identity as a “ Power football team”

Q Nelson- Guy is a badass. He mauls people. Obliterates anything in his way.
If he’s telling me to do something
I’m doing it.
Leadership

Durham Smythe- Another guy playing balls to the wall. Could of said- I’m tired of the criticism. They are bringing in young talent- let me move on. He could be a big part in raising that trophy. Story has changed. Leadership.

Drue Tranquill- Guy could have quit after getting injured. The kid is a warrior.
Tough as nails. Another tough guy in the middle.
Can’t believe we get another year.
Leadership.

Jerry Tillery- Look at how this guy has matured.
He transformed his body- does whatever is asked of him and isn’t a “me” guy
Sheldon Day I’m sure is real proud of him
Strong defense starts in the middle.
Jerry is leading the way.

Tevon Coney- Guy could say I should be starting and not sharing time.
When he gets in there- he a raging maniac out there that the entire team feeds off his energy. He is a momentum changer.
Guy is a team player.

You wonder how our young guns are playing so well. Look at their examples above.
Look at how our wide receivers block. They are fu*king savages. I love it!

Todd Lyght- Once under fire and questioned
Look at our secondary- He recruited great players and he coaches them even better.
Pay him/ keep him forever

Autry Denson- Loved him as a player.
Love him more as a coach.
Pay him/ keep him forever

Elston moving around on the staff. Could have complained or maybe left
Coaching up the defensive line into one of the best units in the country.
Pay him. Keep him

Elko/ Long- Wow! Keep these guys
Pay them. Keep them.

Brandon Wimbush- The guy looks picture perfect in the uniform like Tony Rice.
The kid is a winner. Flat out. I don’t care what his stats say. I don’t give a f*ck.
He commands- He leads. He wins!
I picking this kid to play QB everyday of the week over anyone.

I love this team. Might be my favorite team I’ve ever watched. They put the work into strength & conditioning and i believe this elite team will make us program elite again.
Day after day. Year after year.

Go Irish! Keep trucking!

Good post
 
Excellent analysis -- also remember reading a comment by Martini (I think) back in December/January -- said something to the effect that the culture and attitude in the locker room was going to change -- and it began with the seniors -- either change with us or move on --

In addition to the discussions Kelly had with each player, the seniors also took it upon themselves to notice something was not right last year either ---
 
The changing of workout partners
and creation of team competition in the conditioning was a great move.
People bond with new teammates and form new friendships.
This team has been relentless
I don’t care what happens
This team is a success.
