October 28, 201015 yr http://www.southbendtribune.com/article/20101027/News01/101029407/0/NotreDame This article is a good source of info if you want to read into the negatives. Still really doesn't state that he kept practicing. I am a firm believer that Brian Kelly didn't purposely keep practicing through this horrible tragedy. And I'm not a huge Kelly fan. Everybody needs to keep the family and players in their prayers. This horrible accident affects everybody.
October 28, 201015 yr The AD said they went back on the filed for 25 minutes and I've read multiple articles saying practice didn't end right away, but thanks for the concern. I'll admit not being there and knowing the exact timeline though. And I wasn't either... Very sad story!!!!
October 28, 201015 yr Author I just saw where a spokesman from ND said that practice was indeed stopped after the accident. I agree with you TB, certainly don't need these false rumors to worsen the situation. It was stopped after the accident. Just about 30 minutes later by all accounts from the scene...

October 28, 201015 yr It was stopped after the accident. Just about 30 minutes later by all accounts from the scene... I guess I was wrong!!! I will take GT's source over anything I have heard anyday of the week.....Sorry, but he normally doesn't get it wrong!!!
October 28, 201015 yr This is a tragedy and my heart goes out to his family and friends and I’m sure due to the high profile of this accident there will be an in depth investigation. But, this was a 20 year old man, he is an adult and nobody knows if he was told to go up and videotape or if he did so on his own free will. Anything other than that is pure speculation. While you are correct that this is all speculation I've got a donation to your favorite charity if he wasn't instructed to go up there and stay up there.
October 28, 201015 yr Brian Kelly is about as low as they come....If he kept the team practicing for another half hour after this happened....What a tool. Edited October 28, 201015 yr by UKMustangFan
October 28, 201015 yr Heard Mo Egger say that they would be discussing on his show whether or not Coach Kelly should be held accountable and fired for his negligance... It's a fair question to ask.

I don't know the extent of what went on after the tower fell, but the team was on the field for another 20-30 minutes after the tragedy...
October 28, 201015 yr I don't know the extent of what went on after the tower fell, but the team was on the field for another 20-30 minutes after the tragedy... From the article: After the accident, Notre Dame football players were on the field for about 25 minutes before leaving the field quietly, about 15 minutes before the scheduled end of practice. Not clear if they actually practiced, stood around, or prayed.
October 28, 201015 yr Heard Mo Egger say that they would be discussing on his show whether or not Coach Kelly should be held accountable and fired for his negligance... He or someone should be helf criminally responsible for their negligance. He should be fired immediately IMO.

Not clear if they actually practiced, stood around, or prayed. I saw some earlier things that indicated practice, but the artices have been changed to what you quoted here.
October 28, 201015 yr It was stopped after the accident. Just about 30 minutes later by all accounts from the scene... GT, in your opinion, should BK be released for this incident?
October 28, 201015 yr GT, in your opinion, should BK be released for this incident? If it is determined that BK ordered the practice outside (a given) AND that he ordered that the kid do his normal job of taping from the platform then termination has to be considered IMO. He's the boss. He made the decision. He has to be accountable.
October 28, 201015 yr I don't know this to be true but it would seem like something an assistant of some kind would handle. I doubt BK deals with the kid everyday and tells him what to do and what not to do.
