Greg Hudson listed as “sideline” for his gameday position as Notre Dame’s new defensive coordinator.
Brian Kelly said he believes Notre Dame has made the “necessary changes” to get the team back on track.
Kelly on Kizer "The standard of play is not where we want it to be for him."
Brian Kelly said depth chart will expand to help more guys “feel like they’re part of the solution."
Brian Kelly cites Dexter Williams needs more work, even out with Josh Adams. Adds Asmar Bilal, Jay Hayes need more too.
“There’s too many good football players who haven’t been playing.” – Brian Kelly
"It’s inexperienced and it’s overused.” – Brian Kelly on the defensive talent
Kelly has talked about playing more guys before and it rarely actually happens. Curious if it actually takes this time.
“I think I’ve been a little too not as demonstrative. I think I need to be a little more fiery. I need to turn it up on the sidelines.”
Brian Kelly wants Notre Dame players to have more fun. Brian Kelly expects to be more animated/demonstrative on the sidelines.
There can’t be any confusion. We have to get lined up.” – Kelly on the keys to playing defense against Syracuse
The Texas defense 3-3-5 is not coming back.
Brian Kelly compares the passion of Greg Hudson to Dexter Williams. Interesting.
Brian Kelly asked about Malik Zaire handling being No. 2. “Ask me Thursday.” Less than an endorsement.
Devin Studstill had 67 plays when he missed that tackle on Duke’s game-tying TD. Kelly says needs a bigger rotation. “We gotta be smarter."
Brian Kelly said he talked to Bob Diaco about defending Syracuse and covering Etta-Tawo. Said size mismatch hurt.
