The school noted that three people were most involved in advising coach Brian Kelly on whether it was safe to practice outside: director of football operations Chad Klunder, then-head athletic trainer Jim Russ and Tim Collins, director of football video and film.
"Ultimately, no one — not Collins, Klunder, nor Russ — told Kelly or any coach that practice should be held indoors or that the lifts should not be used," the report says.
quote:
The report did say that while Collins was concerned about the wind, "he did not believe that the winds were strong enough to warrant grounding the lifts."
quote:
Sullivan’s supervisor, video system technician Tim Collins, said he believed it was safe to use the lifts because weather.com and the weather service had the wind speeds in the mid-20s with gusts from 29 to 31 mph.
quote:
Collins did, however, order that the lifts be only partially extended, records show. He also decided not to let a novice student videographer go up in the lift because he thought she might become scared, though she eventually was sent up.
quote:
“When I walked into the office, I was informed by Tim Collins that we would be practicing outside, contrary to his judgment,” Frank told the investigator. “When we were outside, I was instructed by Tim to only raise my lift halfway up.”
quote:
Sullivan raised his lift to about 39 feet, just short of its full extension, records show. The OSHA investigation found the student videographers had minimal training on the equipment.

He's not smart enough to figure it out on his own?

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Saturday it was his decision to hold practice outdoors on a windy day when a student videographer died after the lift he was in fell over.
Everyone knew the consequences of crossing Brian and his shoe lifts.
