Couldn't agree more with you re: BK's shitty system. AJ McCarron can't be THAT much more physically talented than Book, and he won two titles at Alabama.
Kelly's system puts disproportionate--and unrealistic--pressure on the QB position, which is why nobody seems to do the job well. Here are just some of the guys who have "failed" Brian Kelly during his time at ND:
- Dayne Crist / 5-star; #22 nationally; offers from USC, FSU, Michigan, Stanford, and Oregon, among others
- Andrew Hendrix / 4-star; #283 nationally; offers from Florida, Louisville, and Maryland, among others
- Everett Golson / 4-star; #267 nationally; offers from Clemson, Virginia Tech, and UNC, among others
- Deshone Kizer / 4-star; #242 nationally; offers from Bama, LSU, PSU, Tennessee, Michigan, and Ohio State, among many others
- Malik Zaire / 4-star; #162 nationally; offers from Bama, Ohio State, Oregon, Northwester, and Wisconsin, among many others
- Brandon Wimbush / 4-star; #46 nationally; offers from Bama, Miami, PSU, LSU, Stanford, Georgia, and Michigan, among others
Has anybody had a lower hit rate with 4- and 5-star QB prospects than Brian F'ing Kelly?!?
