Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”
Have you forgotten the recruiting bump rule? All the SEC coaches voted against it until Saban outperformed them, and then they wanted the rule instituted rather than have to work to keep pace with CNS.
Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”
I agree with you. What doesn't feel right? It feels right to me. I think the players probably like this too.

Sounds to me like he's just trying to deflect and make excuses for his own inadequacies as a head coach.

How about this one instead:
Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”
That is all.
He can't emulate CNS. In ANY way. He has to first produce talent to participate. He's simply not capable.
That is all.

I wonder what the non-starters think about outsiders playing on the scout team. Many players hope that their play on scout team will catch the coaches' eyes. Current players lose practice time as well as opportunities to build a reputation. Think about how many times we have heard of some underclassman kicking butt on the scout team only to see them getting significant playing time the next year.
Not questioning Saban, but I suspect some of the scout team players aren't crazy about this.

The rule has a least an impact on the game or Coach Saban wouldn't bother with it. Let's beat up Trent rather than on of our guys who need rest.
The rule is too arbitrary with the word "occasional."
I don't care for Bryan Kelly and ludicrous is too strong a word. It just doesn't feel right to me. That's all.
I'm all for taking advantage of the rules. That's CNS's job. He's done nothing wrong.

I like what Broussard said on one of the many ESPN shows about it. He said something to the extent of the only thing ludicrous is that Brian Kelly should only be praising Nick Saban for what he is doing right now.

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”
How is practicing with former players any different than getting coached by former NFL coaches? Or using professional training equipment? You'll pardon me if I fail to see how it's in any way questionable.
I think the whole "controversy" is really just people trying to find artificial justification about why our team dominates theirs.

Notre Dame will never make it back to the championship game while KELLY is there.

Maybe Notre Dame needs to use professional coaches.

JPW is on JOX radio every Friday morning, and they were all giving him a hard time about finding out he spent time on the practice team the week before from message boards. It sounded like he was sworn to secrecy, but his response was “y’all never asked me”. The first question, do you go out in pads? His answer was absolutely not. He pretty much sounded like he wasn’t in the best of shape, something like he needed oxygen after a play and a trainer after the next, and this routine went on throughout practice. He said he did not get paid, it’s against the rules, and he only practiced two days. After listening to their conversation I’m pretty sure this is as much a way to keep former players involved than anything else.
