In today’s piece, I respond to a comment made by loyal reader Irishize that called into question Brian Kelly’s ability to coach the quarterback position. In six seasons, since Brian Kelly came to South Bend, the Irish have played in, and lost, one national championship game and one major bowl game. They’ve won forty-five game and lost twenty-three. But what does this mean for Kelly’s success with the quarterbacks?
To answer the question of whether or not Brian Kelly can coach quarterbacks, I went back and looked at the career statistics of Notre Dame’s quarterbacks going back to 1956, thanks to the good people at sports-reference.
