My friends hated him as a special teams coach. They said punt returns were frowned upon by Polian and he coached up fair catches. No clue if this was true.


Your overall analysis of Polian is spot on. Definitely not elite as a recruiter, and lived off the Te'o commitment for far too long.

The 'fair catch U' thing was definitely true, though the only question is whether that was a Polian decision or came down from Kelly himself. It certainly frustrated most ND fans for years.

Bottom line is Polian is one of Kelly's closest aides and if Kelly's record of being far too slow to release/fire underperforming assistants continues in Baton Rouge, you may, in Kelly's famous words, "get used to it".
