mentally incompetent coach

[ch_seahawkfan]

great article on potential, and if Brandon is not brought up to his, by HCBK,, then this writer makes it clear a verdict will be obvious on the coach...


"What I hope Brian Kelly realizes is this kid is not Everett Golson- and it ain’t even close.

Brandon Wimbush is a whole different animal all together. Kelly shouldn’t design an offense this year to “protect” him, much like he did in 2012 with Golson. I’ve read all over the place that Kelly does a better job coaching his younger QB’s because he doesn’t put too much pressure on them to perform.

Screw that.

Let Wimbush do his thing. You don’t go out and buy a Lamborghini and keep it in the garage. Drive the thing. For starters, he doesn’t have the defense to rely on this year as he did in 2012, and he has a stable of studs on offense that might be even better than anything surrounding Golson that year. You don’t, and really, can’t hide a talent like Wimbush, unless you are a mentally incompetent coach. " http://www.onefootdown.com/2017/4/2...ll-win-the-heisman-trophy-in-2017-brian-kelly

WOW

even Beano Cook's RP predictions pale in comparison!

BW's high school vids are as impressive as mentioned, and the kid has the tools. What can stop BW?
In order: BW, BK, injury, opposition.

A HT year= 2018 NFL draft

Being a Seahawk fan, you certainly know your "mentally incompetent" coaches. Pete made Malcom Butler a hero for all time.

I also think you need to look at Coach Chip Long as well -- he is the OC who will be orchestrating the offense. He has said he will let BW run the show and play within the offense.

"For starters, he doesn’t have the defense to rely on this year as he did in 2012, and he has a stable of studs on offense that might be even better than anything surrounding Golson that year."

While that may be the case -- do you think ND wants to get into shoot outs week in and out? Scoring a ton of points is cool, but, if the defense also does not get some rest, they will also be giving up a lot -- and that is what got BVG fired (well, that and many others things as well).

Irish Duck,,, I am a Myrtle Beach Seahawk Fan...
Kelso86,,, I don't care what kind of defense Irish have or who is the OC... HCBK will set the tone and call the shots and it would be best to let the great talent PLAY BALL ! Which will never happen.

This will be the 3rd year BK hasn't called the plays
Wimbush is an excellent talent but that hardly means he is going to be a great college QB.
I hope he plays well against Temple and builds on that.

Never visited one foot in the mouth website Don't think I will be in the future

 

[perseverare]

no one called the plays in '16, they just happened.

Sanford did not call plays, Kelly did not call plays.. no one has sdmitted to having called the plays.

Kelly as Head Coach cannot possibly be thought to have been in the decision loop and thus accountable.
Let's just add it to the BVG blame train.

Well, he is the HC --so -- but, as someone already stated -- this will be the 3rd -- 3rd year now that Kelly will not call plays (now, all HC's have an override authority). He appears to have let Long go and do his thing....and Long appears to know what he has at his disposal.

As for BW -- he is a great talent, did not get to fully see it in the scrimmage. However, he also needs to play within the offense and be the distrubutor. Again, as was mentioned -- he simply needs to play well in Game 1 and continue to build on it throughout the year. Just be prepared -- he will have his ups and downs

Denbrock called the plays in 15 and 16.

The in-game adjustments I've never been impressed with under Kelly. The other team seems to out-maneuver us a lot in that way. He seems incapable of making necessary in-game adjustments. Last year's NC State game was the epitome of that. Despite the hurricane conditions, he continued to have Kizer throw. It didn't work. Kizer had his worst game of his career (9/26, 54 yds, 1 INT). The other team ran the ball a lot more than we did, which made sense in hurricane conditions. If you include plays where Kizer dropped back to pass and ended up running, we probably called at least 30-35 passing plays in that game.

I'm hoping things will be different under Long, in terms of both the gameplans and the in-game adjustments.

I agree with this. It's like he is so stubborn, he sticks with his original game plan no matter what.

His halftime adjustments are much the same. They seem to be non-existent. Over the years, I've noticed that Jimbo Fisher is a genius at halftime adjustments. Unfortunately, we've seen this first hand when they dominated the 2nd half of the bowl game against us after making the necessary corrections. Saban (among all the other obvious coaching traits he has) is also a whiz at making halftime adjustments. Kelly seems too stubborn to admit he needs to deviate from his game plan and make adjustments.

I never liked his comment about "taking what the defense gives you". Screw that - play to your strengths and pound your opponent into the ground!!!
Impose your will!!! It's football - not chess.

In your world Kelly is never held accountable. I'd love to know your connection to him. Your constant defense of him gets more and more hilarious.

Sorry if the facts get in the way of your agenda. I ve stated many times that Kelly did a lousy job last year. I also stated that i believe he's done enough to earn the chance to right the ship this season. Obviously the adminstration agrees. He still has the job.all your childish rantings won t change that fact. I ve chosen to wait and see how the program responds in 2017. Just about everything that has transpired since the end of the 2016 season has been positive in my opinion. I m sure you feel otherwise.

The NC State game left the entire college football world scratching their heads raw ..... minus the clueless homers here ... that game by itself should've got him fired .... Tulsa years ago? .... I don't have enough time to go over the train wreck that is BK as far as in game coaching goes

 

[perseverare]

We really do not know how this staff will fare. The best DC cannot work miracles.
The offense? That depends upon the autonomy of the OC. Kelly as to stand off.
ND does not face but 2 elite QB's in '17 and no great experienced defenses.
ND must win 1 game of UGA&Stanford&USC. I give ND little chance vs USC. That leaves 1 W vs the other 2.
The schedule is not imposing and 9 wins seems possible. But 6 are also possible.
Wimbush is the great unknown. If he plays unshackled and has a Cam like season then ND can be successful. ND might even get to a major bowl based upon his 'Star power'. But if Wimbush is just good or gets injured then 8 wins are going to be tough to find.

Retaining Kelly is and will be more an economic decision and has nothing to do with ND desiring national competitive significance. That train has left the station.

 

[Nocalirish]

No first round NFL draft choices for ND is not positive. Future top recruits will start bailing on lame duck Kelly.

 

[perseverare]

No ND coach has ever been as unsuccessful as BK and returned to coach year 6 or year 7 or now year 8.
But BK fans focus on dissing Kizer, to deflect that reality. They follow the lead of BK.
Clemson, FSU, tOSU,Bama,USC are the top contenders in '17 and unless Wimbush can carry this team in Cam like fashion ND's streak of 'meh' under BK will reach 8 in the books. But Clearly ND administration has no 'chest' to swallow another contract, and BK will go through his twelve years and may never get the 'big Win'. He will get a longevity statue.

There is only 4 things you do on offense. Run Pass Kick and Take a Knee.

ND couldnt run vs NC State, they got a punt blocked, should they have taken a knee vs NC State rather than try to win the game with their allegedly big time QB?

More top notch coaching analysis from the internet.

Your comments are akin to the notion that the ND team was a group of pickups on the way to the stadium!
They practice under the instruction and guidance of the Hesd Coach and his staff.
The measure and evaluation of how that staff is performing is the "results".

We didn't have a lot of players going pro this year. Other than Kizer, all our other top draft prospects stayed in school. Which is why we should be pretty good this year.

When you have a left side of your OL with McGlinchey and Nelson (both projected high draft picks), you should be able to run on a team like NC State. That wasn't Alabama we were playing. NC State, on the other hand, stayed with the run and outrushed us, 157-59.
