Irish Have High Hopes for Year Four Under Coach Kelly.
Posted 04-09-2013 at 06:26 PM by davidkoala
After a brief flirtation with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, Brian Kelly elected to return to the school which he previous led to an undefeated regular season, only stumbling in the last game of the season, a 42-14 thrashing by SEC heavyweight Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game.
The defense is in good hands with Bob Diaco - a rising star in the coaching business - whose 3-4 defense finished second in the nation in scoring defense.
The offense grew throughout the 2012 campaign as red-shirt freshman, Everett Golson grew into the offense, finishing the season strong with 286 passing yards and 2 total touchdowns against the revered Crimson Tide Defense.
Chuck Martin begins his second season as the Fighting Irish's Offensive Co-ordinator and looks to put a deadly, balanced spread offense on the field in the 2013-2014 season.
