Malik's tough words

You coach to your personality and coaching kids any other way would be phony. If there are two things that kids can sniff out right away it is #1 not having a clue about the game, and #2 not being true to yourself. Kids respect CONSISTENCY, not some 21st Century give everyone a Participation Trophy weakling .

The guys on here who cry about Brian Kelly coaching hard, are most likely guys who never competed and would mentally fall to pieces when challenged by guys like Kelly, Meyer, Stoops, Harbaugh or Saban. Pay no attention to the boards resident "SOFT Serve Ice Cream Cones".
 
You and 756 act like a bunch of clowns. You don't like somebody telling it as it is about our coach and so you slam the OP

You have our QB come right out and say - as Buguit notes the QB is at practice everyday - that Kelly did not provide a true competition and made up his mind about Golson starting. That is fact. A no brainer. Zaire outplayed Golson in 2 Spring games. Everybody saw that. But you seem to have inside knowledge of what went on at practice =- like you were there bozo. And according to you Zaire crapped the bed.

Sure. I will go by what everyone saw in spring games and what Zaire said over your bs

At least make sense if you want to get your jolies bashing what I reported verbatim from Zaire's article.

This kid has more competitive drive than Golson ever did. He has no quit. I was a huge Golson supporter but clearly Golson has brought his downfall on himself both academically and with turnovers.

If someone wants to counter what I wrote about Zaire's comments, then bring it. I see nothing except speculation about practices not open to the public but yet "Zaire crapped the bed."
using a spring game ? really ? the absolute worst format in which to evaluate players. all I know for sure is zaire himself said he didn't put in the necessary work to prepare himself during last season. seems to me the light went on for him late in the year. players don't mature at the same rate. old news.
 
The knucklehead at the the helm criticized McDaniel on an ongoing basis for not being explosive enough.

"McDaniel was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, though he attended Notre Dame's Pro Day on March 31, 2015, one of eleven players to do so. McDaniel recorded a three cone drill time of 6.78 seconds, faster than all running backs invited to the Combine, and would rank fifth among running backs in the last five Combines."

kelly is often clueless.... The revelations provided by Zaire are disturbing, but expected.

I wonder when Kizer threw his first pass with the first team.... Maybe he still hasn't.....
nor should he. it's not how it works. you earn those reps.

This I can say about Kelly. He came here with the perception of running an offense that scores a ton of points and a similar style to Oregon. That has yet to happen. There have been more issues with the QB position during his tenure than any other position. Weis, though not a good head coach, had much better production from his offense and really good QB play. I am not sure what to make of Golson leaving. I think part of it was a business decision. I think he'll start at FSU and could make a name for himself in the draft. I also think Kelly handled him and the QB position wrong and Golson basically had enough. Whatever the reason it's Zaire's team. Both him and Kelly have a full compliment of offensive power to work with. Regardless of the expierence at the QB position, they have to make a run this year at the national championship. If they go 9 and 3 or less I think we kind of see where Kelly stands as head coach. Mediocre at best.
yep that offense was explosive in 07.

I agree about the idea the EG s/b your incumbent starter; anf Kelly should have made that known to all, so it did not embarrass MZ, as if he 'failed' to win a job he could not have won!

And your point was faulting MZ for 'believing' his coach? But at the same time you think EG's passing down 35-0 was any kind of atta boy! Do you think the D was letting up a bit, whether unconscious or whatever?

MZ was not naive; the kid is a warrior and went looking for a battle that never happened. But, then the press release told the story of EG winning the QB battle?
embarrass him ? good god how thin skinned is he ? coachspeak, no more no less. happens at EVERY level.
 
The "knock" that I have against Kelly isn't that he got upset at Golson, it's that he has only one way to deal with mistakes. He is a screamer and he berates players. Even Lou, who was known to grab a few facemasks and administer a swift kick to the pants, knew that if you discipline some players that way you might lose them. You could see Kelly lose Golson a little bit at a time with every passing game. Malik, in my opinion, is one of those who has the make-up to be able to take it. Let's hope the other QB's can too because Kelly is not going to change.
everyone is well aware of Brian Kelly and his way of coaching. it's not going to change. the players who sign up for it are well aware of it also. they know what they're getting into. Kelly is a lamb compared to holtz and say joe moore. Kellys behavior is just more front and center given the times we live in.

If I recall corrctly, Willingham was reported to be a pretty nice guy. But that didn't make him an effective recruiter or coach.
