He has 4 months to make the decision that will greatly decide his fate as coach of Notre Dame. Does he go with Rees, an adequate game manager who offers nothing vertically, nothing athletically, and turns the ball over? Does he go with Hendrix, an athletic player who throws fast balls whether they be 5 yard hitches or 50 yard bombs? He can run. He also has the field vision of Helen Keller. Or does he go with Golson? His game management is the worst of the three. He also has the best arm when you consider velocity and touch, is the most creative when the play breaks down, and is by far the smoothest runner.
All three are deficient in a major area. The question for him is which can be corrected most easily and who has the other skills that can negate them?
We all have our opinions, but only one opinion counts.
The Kelly conundrum.
