Kelly ready to lead Irish into preseason drills

Posted August 05, 2010 11:00 pm

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Brian Kelly's real work is just starting.

Sure, he's made 150 or so appearances as an ambassador for Notre Dame since taking over as head coach last December. He ran spring practice, installed parts of his spread offense and 3-4 defense, and got a glimpse of what talent he inherited from Charlie Weis.

He's analyzed, studied the roster and heard about all the expectations for one of the country's proudest programs that has gone 16-21 over the last three seasons.

Now, he says, it's time to start making improvements and progress on the field. After improving three other programs Ã¢â‚¬â€ť Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati Ã¢â‚¬â€ť he now hopes to do the same thing at Notre Dame.

The Irish start preseason practice Saturday.
