Jumbo Package: For once, Tide’s opponent deals with coaching turnover before playoffs

Happy Monday, everyone. The college football writers seemed to have enjoyed their long holiday weekends, as they should, so things are a tad light today. Still, we bring you what we have. First off, Alabama’s opponent is dealing with a coordinator getting hired before the playoff game. Imagine that.

Kelly is confident that Lea and the entire coaching staff will be in sync come Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Irish operation has to be rock solid or it will pay the consequences.

“If you don’t have that continuity and the collaboration of the entire staff with your team going forward against Alabama, you have no chance,” Kelly said.
