Rees in his 5th year wont be all that bad. I bet Zaire is going to play quite a bit as well. Throw Hendrix in for those straight up the middle psycho red zone plays and it should be a fun season. They might even make a BCS game.

I support any coach who can get ND into a major bowl game every year as long as he doesnt break a ton of rules and get ND on probation. Id take Meyer or Saban in a hearbeat as well. Kelly seems to have the same "driving myself to a heart attack" quality that Meyer and Saban both have. Those are the only two coaches Id take over Kelly. To hell with the rest. Seriously though, college football is a big business when you are talking about the top programs. These big time coaches are going to get hit up every year by the NFL, naturally they are going to look. Kelly can actually use this to his advantage in recruiting and he will. This guy is no clown, he's the real deal and recruits are going to see it. Thank God ND has a top level coach now.

LOL, thats pretty much true.

Bama is so awesome they could beat most of teams in the NFL. In fact about 6 or 8 teams in the SEC should just move straight on up and quit wasting time in the NCAA. I dont even see why they should have to play bowl games and fiddle around with such unworthy competition.

ND has recruited enough 5* to win several BCS games and maybe even the title game in the past 10 years. I guess their only excuse has been piss poor coaching. What could a team like Boise State or TCU do with ND's talent? The one area ND hasnt recruited well in has been coaching. Still waiting to see if Kelly is the answer. The jury is still out on that one. Lets hope he is.

I'll be completely shocked if he lasts even a year at USF considering he wont be able to play football. I doubt the drama storm that surrounds him will go away anytime soon.

This whole thing is crazy, naturally you let him back on the team. Afterall, most fans have been begging for a player like him for a long time. He's a kid who has been really mixed up for a while. The team needs to put a big totally hetero bro hug on him, help him get his mind right, and prepare to slaughter Michigan and USC. It wouldnt hurt to get his mom and girlfriend in SB if possible. Whatever helps him out makes him a better person for everyone involved. In other words help him make the wise choice and tough it out for a few more years and then cash in big time.

Yeah, "a lot of kids talk this way" but also a lot of those kids wont be going to D1 universities. Many teams and not just ND might consider passing on him because of this. They dont want someone coming in who brings a lot of baggage with them. Its not worth the time and effort for a coach. It may not be a deal breaker but it sure as hell doesnt help. Also something to consider is maybe ND might be too square for him.

UT's crappy running game was the fault of the OC not the line coach. I think (hope) he's going to do just fine.

Its not as bad as it looks. Cant remember where I read it in the last few days but Kelly has had the best back to back years since Holz. I believe its in more than one category as well and not just wins. ND is just a good QB away from serious success. So if one of the two younger studs steps up all will be well because it sure aint going to be Rees. What I still cant figure out though is why Kelly adjusted and turned down the offense for Rees but didnt adjust it for Crist. Crist was expected to run the fully amped up offense. I read this from one of the "experts" on Rivals so dont argue with me because its not my words.

Thats hilarious. If teams dont find a way to use that in negative recruiting they just arent doing their jobs.

Im confused why anybody is shocked by this. I havent considered him an ND commit for a long time now. He's been begging for an opportunity or reason to decommit for months. Good luck to him in the ACC or wherever he decides to play foo-ball. Life goes on.

Looks like Rutgers is back in the picture. Cant provide a link because its Premium info.
