Theres a reason many coaches who have worked for Kelly before, don't want to work with him again

Meh he’s had some guys come back.

Molnar coached for him at Cincinnati and at Notre Dame.

Denbrock coached for him at grand valley state Notre Dame and LSU

Bob Diaco worked for him multiple times

John Jansik worked for him multiple times.

Brian Polian did as well.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago on the On3 board. May be interesting to some y’all. Idk.

I went back and looked up all the OCs Kelly hired while he was at Notre Dame. They were:

Charley Molnar 50 years old. 8 years of being OC between Illinois State and Kent State

Mike Denbrock 50 Was briefly OC at Grand valley state in the early 90s.

Chuck Martin 45 first time OC.

Mike Sanford 33 spent one year as OC of Boise State before Kelly hired him.

Chip Long 34 spent one year as OC of Memphis.

Tommy Rees 28 first time OC.

If we do go make a move this offseason I would not expect the new hire to be a highly established play caller. Just does not appear to be Kelly’s M.O.

I thought about trying to find his hires at Cincinnati but decided against it since Kelly was still calling plays back then and you can’t really compare the caliber of coaches available to him compared to Notre Dame and LSU.

But we definitely see a trend of Kelly liking to pick young unproven guys and try to train them on the job with some successes and some failures.

BK has never hired a top flight OC in his career. He has always taken on young, typically first time or only a few years of experience calling plays and trained them up in his system. It’s worked some. It’s failed some but to expect him to do it differently now is not realistic. It will either be someone who has worked with him in the past like Tommy Rees. Someone already on staff or someone we’ve never heard of.

If it is a big name hire then you can bet that Woodward got involved and forced his hand and that has a lovely track record of working out.

T-Bob said it at the time and it was confirmed by several proven insiders at the time.

Just because Condon and Moscona didn’t report it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Sloan wanted Co-OC. Denbrock balked. Kelly thought we had to keep Sloan to get underwood. Now we’re here.

Nuss looks like dog shite with Sloan as the guy preparing him all preseason and the week before a game, what makes you think Sloan can prepare anyone to look good?

Because he’s obviously injured. The gun slinger can’t sling it 20 yards downfield anymore. That’s not a coaching problem that’s an injury problem. Now Joe Sloan is awful but there were at least 2 more touchdowns left on the field because Nuss couldn’t get the ball there. That’s enough to win this game. Nuss’s inability to throw the ball was the difference in the game. No matter how bad anything else sucked the plays were there for him to make and he wasn’t capable of doing it.

The first four books were all pretty great. The story was mysterious and engaging. Then it got too wonky, particularly bogged down by the split personality Susan, alcohol gay priest, and King’s self-insertion. I did not mind the ending though.

I thought the first three were good. Wizard and the Glass was absolutely excellent. Wolves of the Calla was fine. Everything from Songs of Susannah on were terrible imo.

I love Stephen King. You’re going to find more of his books on my bookshelves than any other author. When I can’t decide on anything new to read I typically reach for Stephen King and re-read another book once again.

That being said The Dark Tower started out as “just good” through the first three books, approached greatness with the 4th then was a sharp plummet from there.

The only way to PROVE you’re compatible with another person is to live with them. Anything other than living with them is guessing and hoping. With today’s divorce laws it is absolute foolishness for a man to risk half of his livelihood on someone he hasn’t lived with. I don’t give a shite what your preacher says. It’s just common sense.

Marrying someone you haven’t lived with is fricking stupid. Full stop. So much liability to give up with no experience in how it’s going to go. I would drop kick my son if he told me he planned on marrying a girl he hadn’t lived with for at least 6 months
