I'm an ND parent. I have a 20 year old son there and believe me, they've heard from me. I am so angry. With high profile college football, it's not just a job, it's a cause - that's how many of the participants view it & I get that. Even if Declan wanted to go up (and FB and tweets indicate otherwise), one of the men on that field, including Kelly, should have stopped the filming. Tressel moved his inside under similar conditions. Brian Kelly is the head of the football program, he was running practice, he knew of the filming. This is all his and he should be fired.Pen1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15770879776074651231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-32491275541296644832010-10-29T15:09:45.938-04:002010-10-29T15:09:45.938-04:00This is a great read about this horrible situation...This is a great read about this horrible situation, Dan...<br /><br />http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/notre-dame-must-fire-brian-kelly-over-student-death-102910Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-16515325519092861862010-10-29T13:46:40.010-04:002010-10-29T13:46:40.010-04:00Proof you CAN do gravitas, Dan.Proof you CAN do gravitas, Dan.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927626720379097981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-41961146546746590612010-10-29T12:42:46.019-04:002010-10-29T12:42:46.019-04:00I have a job I love very much. A JOB. I am not a V...I have a job I love very much. A JOB. I am not a Volunteer. I am paid to do it. If I had any reservations that going to that JOB that I love on a specific day might result in my death if I go, and my firing if I don't, I can tell you which side I would be on, and I have a family to feed. <br /><br />Nobody to date (not one player, witness, student manager) has indicated that anyone forced or otherwise coerced Mr. Sullivan to either A) go up in the platform, or B) remain up there against his protests. <br /><br />Does ND bear responsibility for saying, hey, today, no film. Yes. Does Kelly bear that responsibility? Partially. Does Sullivan bear some responsibility for his own safety. You bet.panicstreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074513592097859917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1240833906586051832010-10-29T12:35:27.922-04:002010-10-29T12:35:27.922-04:00That is gut wrenching.
