Of course we love KF. ...and it's so much simpler to just pull out the old pocket notebook, scribble down the name of the who messed up, and deal with it in practice. Yup, the camera guy show it every time, too.
Brian Kelly, along with the AD should still be in prison and serving out their sentences. Be it voluntary or involuntary manslaughter they made conscious decisions that led to a young man's death. Hansen claimed it was 50 feet high and 50 mile an hour winds... if that is true they should have been tried and convicted for 2nd degree murder.
I believe it was more like 35 to 40 feet high with winds from 30 mph and up. I know a little bit about working at heights at 30 to 50 feet on lifts, off of cranes, in buckets etc and know how winds above 15 mph affect such work.
I've done such work and have others under my employee doing such work... I would never do this.
Brian Kelly and the ND AD are 2 criminals that never were subjected to trial and later along with ND FB, may they burn in purgatory for it. A later judgement can decide if they should descend further into hell... hoping the FB program continues the descent.
I guess I didn't understand the author's logical connection between the filming accident and the coach's sideline conduct.
IIRC, when they moved to Kinnick that day, the managers started out in the boxes in the endzones, and they ended up moving from there because the coaches decided that they weren't sold that THOSE were safe enough. They ended up in the press box I believe.
Or push them.For the record, even tho Ferentz doesn't get in the face of his players, we have some assistants that just chew the **** out of them.
Then he admitted to being “extremely frustrated†at the time and said, "I've got to do a better job of understanding when that camera is on me, and it seems like that camera is on me more than I'm used to. I'll have to do a better job of controlling my emotions.â€
Here in, lay the problem. He doesnt regret calling those players names, he regrets getting caught on camera.
Kirk has the best punishment for penalties, dropped passes, etc. He jots the name down on a piece of paper and that player knows they are in for it at the net practice. Using that psychology for his players is so much more motivating for them than yelling their ear off during the game on national TV and having the player thinking "Man, Coach is a dick!".
Like when Daniels for the helmet to helmet penalty on TTU's QB, Kirk writes the name down, probably gives him some line like "Keep up the energy" or something. And then come Sunday or Monday, he deals with it professionally. This is probably my favorite aspect of Kirk.

I remember when I was a kid, the worst punishment was the "go to your room and wait til your dad comes home." The suspense and wait for the punishment was much worse than if I got punished directly after the crime.
you be right and thank god for Coach Ferentz and his sideline decorum...
refreshing and real
I agree with what Kelly said. There is a time and a place for butt chewing, and that is away from the camera. That part was handled poorly, but a coach shouldn't have to coddle his players, and give them gold stars for catches and a Kleenex when they drop the ball.
KF basically does two things on the sidelines - chews gum and wins games. That's fine by me.
