He's not going to make it here, and we're in for two more years mediocrity. All the hallmarks of "Faustball" are there:
1. Poor overall game management. Burning timeouts unnecessarily. Undisciplined players jumping offside, and/or killing drives with stupid penalties. Schizophrenic call playing from one week to the next. No offensive identity. Worse, Faust managed to upset some good teams. Kelly is not going to do that, and is going to lose more games to lousy teams. Tulsa, Navy, USF. It's going to happen again this year. Kelly simply does not have the organization ability, or the identity to prevent it from happening.
2. Who in their right mind takes the only true game breaker on his team, and sits him for the entire game? I'm talking about George Atkinson III. Clever Kelly had the bright idea to put the entire gameplan on the passing skills a true sophomore QB in his second game. That gameplan took his best player off the field. This is simply horrendous personnel allocation. Who does that? I'll tell you who: Gerry Faust clones who have no grasp of establishing a disciplined, consistent identity.
3. Watching the entire team look at Kelly for guidance during every snap in the second half was like dealing with constipation. Instead of having an offensive identity and running the offense, Kelly turns the focus to himself in some perverse notion that he can spontaneously make the right calls. Of course he can't, and we end up looking like a bad WAC team.. He can't recognize the defense and call the right play on the critical 3rd down play to keep the drive going, and the offense is scrambling to get the call off in time before the play clock expires. And the worse it gets the more he inserts himself into grab bagging to try to make something happen. Of course, nothing does and we have zero identity on offense. So, he changes QB's for the third straight friggin year, as if the QB is the answer. Brian, you are the problem, and no change of QB is going to fix your mediocrity. Great coaches establish an offensive identity and utilize their best players in a consistent establishment of an identity which eventually lead to excellence and domination. Kelly grab bags week to week. Seriously. We're back to Tommy Rees? You bet your *** we are, as this guy has zero ability to establish an identity, develop it and perfect it.
One last thing: If this guy keeps up with stuff like comparing the stadium to the Basilica, or blaming the players, the atmosphere, the turf etc., the fans in the stadium are going to steadily turn on him in the same way they turned on Faust and Davie. If there's one thing ND fans hate, it's excuse makers who are unable to say "The buck stops here". They turned on Kelly today, and it will get worse if he continues to say such incredibly stupid things and keeps laying these turds. The fans are fed up with this incredibly lousy football and all the stupid excuses and sideshow distractions. They want results, and it is obvious that we are nowhere near the development that people expect. Kelly deserved to be booed. There will be more to come, because like Faust, he's in way over his head.
