OK, maybe 3/4.
Garth Brooks played “Calling Baton Rouge” in Notre Dame Stadium.
Wait until the people there find out it was a crank call.
Kelly's purple face schtick was part of his audition for the LSU job.
reminds me of one of the California Raisins, doing “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”. Of course, each Raisin was better than Kelly.
and Brian Kelly recruiting lexicon.
in his purple faced tirade.
I never forgave him for treating a young man trying his best (and it wasn't clear he did anything wrong).
That's when I knew we were screwed and what an arrogant prick he was. Stanford was dropping 8/9 guys into coverage but Kelly kept throwing the ball. Dayne kept throwing it away and Kelly was getting more irate after every failed series.
He would chase him to the bench screaming at him the whole time. I was praying Dayne would just stop, turn around and beat the hell out of him. It was apparent we made a mistake and this was going to be an unmitigated disaster.
Cliffy
in his first collegiate game.
To be clear, there is never an appropriate reason to act that unhinged, and
Lou said it best: Praise in public, (constructively) criticize in private. This would be disappointing in any context, but was particularly jarring at a time where something like "next time, take 3 steps, and either check back/hold your block/go deep" would have actually added value for both rather than tirade-ing a young man already going through a lot. I hope Oompa has matured, but have a potential sense of schadenfreude forthcoming where some Cajun ships him back to Boston.
Unless you're thinking of a different tirade. Jones wasn't looking at the ball when it was thrown to him and it bounced off his helmet and miraculously right into the arms of a Bull (that game really was a Murphy's Law game). I was at the 2010 Purdue game - Jones' and Kelly's first - so if there was anything that happened there I didn't see it.
