My question is how the fuck do you have so many upperclassmen safeties who haven't learned to play the position? Straight talk... why can't Elliot get these guys coached up?
Because he is the Outside Linebacker Coach. Cooks is the db coach.
Maybe Elliot isn't the answer? Seems like an incredible person. I honestly don't know much about him or his track record. I know he was Diaco's boy. Does he even recruit?
A) Elliott would be a quality head coach somewhere if not for the aggressive cancer that almost ended his life sixteen years ago.
B) Elliott coached an admirable season for ND with no kidneys, relying on dialysis all night and for about forty minutes every day at lunch time. He waited for his life saving surgery until after the recruiting season was over before he scheduled it.
C) Diaco was his boy. Taught Diaco most of what he knew about coaching. Bobby Elliott is one man truly respected by everyone who is worth a shit, in college football.
D) Bobby has a particularly civil, instruction oriented approach to coaching that I have only heard players rave about.
E) He is exacting. And he makes his players take responsibility for themselves and their actions from all I have heard.
F) Kelly and the entire staff consider themselves and ND to be lucky to have him.
