Dragged this from another thread. I get that Watt shouldn't have done that but this just strikes me as completely nuts. Was this a situation where Watt was just being a loyal idiot and thought HH could help or was Quinn's coaching so bad he thought this was his best option? Anyone have more on this? I guess the possiblity of Quinn being this bad without Kelly realizing it and/or addressing it is just too hard to believe.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when this became known by Quinn and the rest of the staff.

BK was asked directly about this, and the official story was that they were meeting HH for extra work during the summer, when working with the actual coaching staff would have been against the rules.

Is that actually true? Who knows. Seems convenient for BK to talk around his buddy not being up to snuff, but it's also not unique for players to go get their own training during the summer months.

It's probably some combination of both Quinn not giving them everything they want AND the players wanting more work than NCAA time allowed.

The issue for me isn’t Watt did this. The issue is Watt decided to share it with beat reporters.

Just spent 10 minutes on a flight tracker at midnight on a Wednesday like a true psychopath. Looks like there was supposed to be an arrival in South Bend from a PJ out of St Augustine today....Urban?

Incredible I have a girlfriend.

With a restraining order?

Good investigative work! Kudos for the commitment!

Cheers ad Go Irish!!

I missed all of this. Why would he tell him anything? That's like telling your wife's friends about the extra work you're puttin in with your mistress. It may sound like an interesting story to share but nothing good will come out of it - trust me.

Someone on Driskell's YouTube channel today claimed to have talked with Julian Fleming's parents and they said he is leaving OSU and wants to transfer to ND.

Their WR room is interesting for next year because their are 2 open spots and a lot of guys possible. Question would be does someone jump in the portal expecting to not win a job or do they all stay for the spring thinking they’ll get one

How many guys are going to be able to transfer IN to Notre Dame though? Easier for ND to take grad students than underclassmen transfers, by and large, right?

I think there was some talk on the Mike Assaf Twitter Space that Quinn is a good coach, but he's experienced some health issues recently. Don't know the story on that, but I honestly haven't been that impressed. He struggled to get the OL together in 2019 I think, and it took half a season to right the ship here too (And we don't know how much of that was the up tempo offense negating the struggles). I hope we find the next Harry to replace him, because it sounds like Harry can't come back from what others have alluded to.

As far as the guys visiting Harry, I thought that was rather telling myself when we first heard it. There was a point made that players can only be coached X number of hours each week by the team, so going to Harry in part may have been due to those restrictions. The fact they were going to him at all should be a red flag though that Quinn was struggling (Health-wise or other) to get the guys prepared.

Wonder if Freeman might try to add Keenan Bailey to the staff in some capacity. ND alum who's impressing as a quality control coach at OSU.
