Brian Kelly Updates: Will Drew Pyne be the starter for Notre Dame versus Virginia Tech?

you know jack progressed to the point where we felt uh tim that he was at 100 and he didn't do anything to lose his job in the wisconsin game he got hurt um so he felt like he he got the first shot at it tyler as i had mentioned uh was going to be part of the uh the rotation and then obviously we got behind and felt like we needed we needed to make a change and a spark there and that's why we went with with drew in the second half no there wasn't a conversation about pine at that point as much as um you know what was the you know was it going to be more buckner um you know in terms of the run and and the offense that we had you know put together with him or we were going to stick with with jack and give him enough of an opportunity to lead the offense because he led it very effectively when he was in there um in particular the first drive he made a made a bad decision obviously so i don't think there was much consideration but as we got to the half you know clearly we thought i thought tommy thought um that we needed a we needed to shift course quickly and we did tim i mean it's a good question it's a fair question but i you know clearly we can't continue down this road of you know who's the flavor of the week here you know so you know we're going to have to we're going to have to sit down and figure this out right and um and and decide you know which direction we want to go because it's it's it doesn't give us the kind of continuity and consistency in office that we need i think it's all on the table i'll be as transparent as i can with you guys about the quarterback situation we're trying to figure it out too and we we know we can't continuously go into the game and just say all right who's up next right we've got to figure this thing out and and build some continuity into it there are some good things but you know when we needed you know those big stops i mean we were you know was it you know obviously didn't feel good about the touchdown we let off right before the half right you know we had him in the black zone and and um you know we're in some zone coverages and we just didn't find the ball you know our coverage wasn't tight enough you know we missed a couple of curls and they were able to get the ball down the field the matchup wasn't you know obviously very good on the outside with pierce he beat us in man coverage so you know you're in zone and you're trying to protect they're hitting some some intermediate routes keeping things alive we got into cover two they hit us in a seam look there's a litany of things um relative to pass coverage the fact of the matter is it wasn't good enough um and so you know if you want to take bits and pieces i could take bits and pieces for you know each unit say well that was pretty good for them it wasn't good enough across the board we didn't coach well enough and we didn't play well enough we're trying to give ourselves a chance we're trying to do anything that we could um to protect and and seemed that we did a better job in the second half but we clearly struggled um and you know it's a something that we're we're well aware of we're working on but like i said there's no waiver wire there's nobody getting traded um we're working and we've got to coach the guys that we have and we got to get them um coached better and put them in better positions to succeed
