Uncle Jack agrees with you. He feels TR is the right MAN for the job. I happen to agree with the both of you.

It’s true for the past few seasons though ND’s best overall one year performance was on offense in 2015.
—4 seasons in which defense was the strength of the team: 2019, 2018, 2012, 2010
—2 seasons (or 3) in which offense was the strength of the team: 2015, 2014, (2013)
—1 season in which both were strengths: 2017 (though 2018 could be applicable here)
—3 seasons in which neither was really a strength: 2016, 2013, 2011
Offensive and defensive efficiences under Kelly. Team efficiencies are based on the point contributions of each unit to the team's scoring margin, on a per-play basis. The values are adjusted for strength of schedule and down-weighted for "garbage time.”
2019: 26th in off efficiency, 5th in defensive efficiency—defense was clearly the strength of this team
2018: 19th in offense, 11th in defense—defense was the strength of the team
2017: 12th in offense, 10th in defense—both offense and defense were strengths
2016: 45 in offense, 46th in defense—neither the offense nor the defense was a strength
2015: 3rd on offense, 61st in defense—offense was clearly the strength of the team
2014: 22nd in offense, 61st in defense—offense was the strength of the team
2013: 33rd in offense, 49th in defense—offense was the strength of the team though it wasn’t that good
2012: 25th in offense, 10th in defense—defense was clearly the strength of the team
2011: 28th in offense, 23rd in defense—defense was slightly better, neither “carried” the team
2010: 63rd in offense, 19th in defense—defense was clearly the strength of the team.

Defense is usually underrated and the offense get more credit than they deserve. If an offense is bad they usually lose the Time of possession battle, and the defense is on the field far too long. That give the
Opposition more opportunity to put up more points on the defense, especially when the defense is
“ worn out and tired “ late in the game.
On the other had, when a solid defense keeps shutting down the opposition, the Offense gets more
Time of possession and more opportunities to score especially as the opposition defenses tire out ?
The fact of the matter, the offense gets most of the credit for the wins by most of the fan base.
To me , I believe that the TOP is a statistic that is simply over looked by most fans ?

By whose definition does he have one of the highest football IQs out there considering there are quit ALOT of football IQs out there.
If you're basing his IQ on his performance as a player then that alone counters your point

Stoops brothers, Ryan Day, Luke Fickell, Mike Yurcich, Vince Marrow, many others. Based on their long standing experience in the game and understanding what it takes to be a successful coach at the major college level.
Those are opinions I've heard in discussions in person and at clinics I've attended. Nothing published as far as I know. People who's opinions I respect believe he is a rising star in the coaching world.
