    So the OC, DC, and S&C coach all turned down Kelly’s offers to go to LSU?

    That is correct.

    We’re also hoping the DL coach, who has been with Kelly for almost his whole career.

    Unsure. Kelly never gave him control over the offense. Though this past weekend we started seeing some passing schemes we never saw before. It was almost unsettling at the time how refreshing it was.

    He supposedly has a huge upside. We’ll see what it’s like with the training wheels off.

    From all reports, our AD met with Freeman today before meeting with Rees. So I’d imagine that second meeting would’ve hinged on the first one.

    It’s an exciting hire, especially considering the groundswell effort happening across the ND community to get it done.

    I’m not sure it’s a great hire. Cautiously optimistic though.

    Ideally we would, but Freeman wasn’t going to wait. Nor would recruits with early Signing Day coming.

    ND definitely acted fast here. Too fast? We’ll see.
