Whitlock: Notre Dame's Kelly must go in wake of student's death

Before Notre Dame reaches a financial settlement with the family of Declan Sullivan, the 20-year-old videographer who died in a tragic practice accident, the school must sever ties with its first-year head football coach.

Kelly should not coach the Irish on Saturday when they take on Tulsa.

We don’t need a thorough and exhaustive investigation to recognize Kelly’s negligence. A coach’s most important job, particularly at the amateur level, is to take every reasonable precaution to ensure the safety of the young people under his control.

Kelly failed in the worst way possible.

In recent years, Notre Dame dismissed Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis for failing to win enough games. The school canned George O’Leary for exaggerating on his resume.

Those "crimes" pale in comparison to allowing student managers to go up in 50-foot-tall lifts to film practice in hazardous wind conditions.

Wait a minute! Before you asked for the coach head you should be asking if the university have a department that over see heavy equipment on campus. We have a safety department here that does this and teach classes on using scissor lifts, cranes or any vertical equipment.
 
some shit is common sense... it wouldnt have taken a head coach to tell me to get my ass down with the wind that the student KNEW was present. I could see if it was one huge gust.... but the boy tweeted about it before he even went up.... He wanted to be up there. I would have told the coach to kiss my ass.

We do?


Yeah, that's right. Be cautious like us.
 
I actually thought about this when I heard about it... if he is indeed found negligent, he should go.. but I want all the details first...
 
I may be exagerating... But sound like this dude wanted to go out this way... I'm sure he didn't plan on the winds being that strong.. but he sound like them typical white hero dudes that thought "man.. this would be an awesome way to go out".. his tweets proves it.. before tweets... we would have been making jokes "Assuming" this was going through his head.. I'm glad he provided uus with the truth!

This is not Kelley's blame.... The reporters always looking for a story...smh..

Just report dude got his dumb ass up there and in so many ways committed suicide.. it's that simple.

I honestly think Kelly might be gone after just one season. Charlie Wies would have done a better job then him this year. Today he made possibly the worse coaching decision of the year.

How does a program gain some form of stability if the schools keeps changing coaches like underwear? Sure, losing to Navy and Tulsa is not good. But to run a guy after his first season is not good for the long term.

What other big name coach either in college or in pros could the Irish get?

I don't think Notre Dame is going to pay millions for Kelly to go away after paying $4 million for Weis to go away, and then spend millions more to hire new coach. One school can't be in the business of wasting money like that.
 



I'm not a lawyer, but if Notre Dame fires Kelly over this incident, it would be for culpable negligence and would possibly void his contract.
