In reply to: I assume I fall into ACP posted by mocopdx

was Brian Kelly.

Someone else might have had the title, but it was his scheme, he held veto power, and he would shove his nose in and offer input whenever the fuck he wanted. Now, I'm sure that Denbrock was very involved and perhaps even running much of it, but there were no tweaks or adjustments that SRFSIM didn't approve of first before they were implemented. Oh, and I'm sure that Kelly was the driving force behind the 2016 fuck up, no question.

I didn't like the Denbrock hire at Notre Dame because he reminds me of the Kelly and Willingham regimes. Hard stop. I don't want to be reminded of those two regimes. I would have preferred a fresh face; unlike other guys, I think that you can run good running schemes from gun and/or pistol. I'm not married to under center/21 or 12 personnel groupings or whatever. There are a variety of ways to skin a cat.

There is no reason to run an offense exclusively from the

shotgun. If an OC is so committed to the formation, it means he is dumb.

it means he is limited

and he might also be dumb.

Be that as it may

Denbrock was "the OC" in two of the three best Kelly offenses, and his years were the only ones where we didn't look completely inept on offense against top teams.

other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

I fucking hate the Willingham and Kelly regimes, for different reasons.

Everyone on that staff can go jump in a lake, as far as I'm concerned. I don't care which one is the tallest midget, they're all short little fuckers.
