If he is right, how come it took so very long to get some of it right?

He isn't necessarily right in T Rees taking over at OC nor is he wrong. So far we can say he's gotten away with it.
The big change in the QB situation this year has been the rise of Kyren Williams as a blocker which in turn has created a better offense.
Why it took this long to work on blocking for a run game is beyond not getting it right after 11yrs at ND (add on all his other years as coach too).
Not giving PJ playing time loses ND a quality athlete in a back-up situation should Book be injured. He's doing the same thing with
Clarke keeping him on the sidelines not giving him game experience. What happens if Book is out for the next Clemson game and
subsequent playoffs?

I'm not sure why you wrote you piece the way you did but it sure seems like the "I told you so article" that is written way to early
as Kelly has only had 1 signature win to his name in 11 yrs.

Part of what we do as fans is question the decisions of coaches and teams - we're not necessarily right but we're not wrong either.

However, I did like your time-line writing.
