Why did Brian Kelly always have mediocre dual threat QB’s at Notre Dame?

He had a long line of mediocre to serviceable QB’s like Ian Book during his time there. Is this the style that he likes? It’s hard to believe he couldn’t get stud QB’s to Notre Dame. Does his offensive philosophy dictate the kind of QB’s that play for him? Is he perhaps unadaptable?

It would have helped if he had more skill position talent to benefit his QBs.

The pool of athletes that pass ND qualifications was thin.

Was Brady Quinn his best qb? Was here when Quinn was?

Starting from when he got there, much better than us overall. Also I remember Malik Zaire clearly showing he was the best QB in the game against us and winning the game.

Why? Jimmy Clausen and Gunner Kiel are the only big time QB recruits they've landed since Ron Powlus.

No, because Brian Kelly wasn't the coach at ND when Quinn was there.

Just say you’re mad that your boy got processed by us bringing in a way more talented dual threat.

Aside from Theisman and Montana, when has ND ever had an elite QB?

I don't think Jack Coan has ever been accused of being a dual threat and they had a pretty good year with him

Ian book was actually pretty solid in his time there. Better career than anybody we've had not named burrow over the last decade

John Huarte won the Heisman in the 60's. Tom Clements and Terry Hanratty were above average College QBs.
Oh yeah, there was that Hornung dude Jimmy Taylor blocked for.

no it isnt, not in the least

at Notre Dame you have to go to class, pass your own tests, and actually learn and prove that you learned something. no other schools requires this or that you even put a token effort into learning.

add to that they dont spend the money on sports that other teams will do

That’s a crock but ND isn’t quite the place five star recruits dream about going to. It’s a farce to think scholarship athletes at “academia” regarded schools are held to the same standards as regular students.

He had really good WR and TEs at ND



WR was not really good, good but not really good.
