Why is Zaire in!?!

Another Kelly favorite

 

[Maplerock]

I commented earlier about the man in the arena. I do not consider Kelly to be one, he's a paid employee.

Tonight, sadly... his coaching, and judgement leaves a lot to be desired.

Zaire might be a good runner but since he's a mediocre passer it's easy for a defense to stop his running.

The guy should be run out of town

 

[ndhell]

This game and season is done already. ND is about to get curb stomped.

 

[Maplerock]

Every year, it seems we struggle and scrape. When will we get it done? We need some turnovers tonight or we may be embarrassed.

I'm no longer surprised by anything. Kelly coaches some great games and he coaches some turkeys. Our defense stinks and our offensive line looks like it is trying to run in six inches of mud.

This one could look like the 2012 Alabama game before its done.

 

[Smooth_Flyer]

It is inconceivable how BK could put Zaire in there right after Texas opened up a 14 point lead.

 

[IrishHerb]

What kind of "game plan" does Kelly have for this game? Whatever it is, its not working.

A problem with ND for the past 6 years is Kelly seems to have different game plans every week. He doesn't try to force our opponents to adjust to us. With this approach, if the plan works - GREAT, if not - we look like we're looking tonight.

 

[HuddleBurger]

I concur... methinks there's a Texas blowout brewing. Brutal.

 

[patH72]

Well, we really needed some offense on that last series.

#firekellytonightdon'twaituntiltomorrowshouldhavehappenedtwoyearsago

get it done folks, lets get it trending.

 

[ndhell]

Offense looks like it's running in slow motion.

The whole team looks slow and impotent. ND should just focus on reading classic literature like Homer's Odyssey.

Michigan has passed us in 2 years

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Why is Zaire in!?!

BK said that both are still going to play. That both are still feeling their way through the game. I give up. BK just doesn't make a whole lot of sense sometimes. I am over it for tonight.

Or just smoke herb and relax

 

[patH72]

I think we were ranked #10 mainly on the premise that we had a weak schedule and that games like this were a gimme. Oops.

 

[Legendsteve]

How did Texas score so fast? I was still in the john. And what the hell is Malik doing in? Kelly has lost his mind. He must be confused. It was KIZER who led them to two scores. None of this makes sense. What is BK doing? It feels like Tulsa again. Or Central Florida. Or Northwestern. This is what we get in year 7? This season is turning into a nightmare before our eyes. Lord help us all.

 

[ndhell]

The ACC sure hates ND Football.

 

[DublinND]

This is a joke. This coaching staff has their head so far up their ass they're blind. Such a embarrassment. Does Kelly think this is a scrimmage???? Such arrogance. ... stick with the plan. All is well. Sit Zaire. Now!!! And get a new D coordinator asap. A disgrace!!!!!

He's the smartest man in the room

 

[Toby Smart]

This team is a hot mess right now.

This team is a hot mess right now.

Top 10 team lols

ND doesn't care about winning football games. They care about writing essays on Theology and speaking dead languages like Latin.

 

[patH72]

Well, Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, etc. are able to turn a program around in a couple years, 3 at most. Or Parseghian (1 year!), Holtz. The idea that it takes many years is a lot of bunk.

 

[HuddleBurger]

In 7 years, Kelly has yet to establish a definitive, consistent identity on offense. This 2-QB system is the latest adventure in his random guessing game about what our offense should be. He's never sniffed a top-10 offense at ND. It's completely random. Couple it with a porous defense and you have this train wreck...

 

[BGI User 1596]

DK should demand to play or leave the program - why should he share time with a 2nd tier QB

 

[coolirish9]

well the game is basically over and now the question can our irish keep them from putting 50 plus on the scoreboard

 

[ncthomas31]

Gonna be a long year

 

[BGI User 1596]

Gonna be a long year

Already a long game

 

[Grabaka]

As a Kelly supporter I'm embarrassed. Not only is the defense awful but the offense has been pathetic and I don't understand why he continues to put Zaire out there when Kizer is clearly the better qb. It's sad our season is already over. Kelly and Van Gorder must go.

 

[patH72]

Honestly, didn't the 2 QB system sound stupid to you when you first heard it?

 

[Uncle Money]

Don't forget learning Mandarin Chinese. That's important for ex players with gun possession charges pending!!'

 

[BGI User 1596]

DK in and we move the ball and score - Kelly should just get out of the way

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Good stuff Kizer. Kelly keep him in!!!!

Now should we onside kick??? Lol.

 

[patH72]

With our offense you do not need a "running quarterback", you just need a QB who can run when nobody is open. We don't really run a read-option system or anything like that.

 

[NDIRISH53]

Converted kizer supporter. Kelly probably will name him official starter this week. Clown d cord needs to bounce

 

[IrishHerb]

Lets see if Kelly leaves Kizer in now. If he doesn't, we should all write in protest to Swarbrick.

 

[rgc7]

A turn over could get us back in this game ? If not all Texas has to do is run the clock ?

 

[Toby Smart]

The defense will not give this team any chance in this game. I think MZ might be done for this game in a starring role. There is still a role for him in our offense I would suppose. Right now, the problem is the damn defense.
