And this year, that offensive scheme is additionally hampered by average talent at both QB and RB.
The big failure of Kelly, above all else, is the total inability to develop any real talent at QB. This fact screams so loudly this year it couldn't be any more crystal clear.
Had he developed Wimbush, who is immensely more skilled than Book, Book would never be a starting qb on a ranked team. The tv dead heads comparing him to Theisman is laughable. And chances are Book will be starting next year( unless you are part of the delusional group that thinks Book is going to ever play in the NFL) too because of the say said inability in 1.5 years to fix Jukovec's delivery in a eeriley similar way he was unable to fix Wimbush's. One might want to chalk up Wimbush as a one-off Kelly failure. But look at the history of Kelly with qbs and you tell it is all part of a pattern and no one-off.
Instead of accepting the fact that his qbs are never going to win him games, he needs to evolve a scheme (can you imagine a Wisconsin-type scheme with ND's overall talent?) that doesn't put his offense in the hands of overloaded and/or undertalented qbs. Georgia, by itself has chased off two qbs to the point where it is possible that 3 qbs who were all at the same school might be playing in the playoffs while Kelly has yet to produce one.
