Bob Elliott, Special Assistant to the Head Coach
GRADE: A+
In his work as head of The Institute for Option Studies, Bob Elliot really exceeded all expectations in developing solid game plans against Navy and Georgia Tech, as well as getting the SWAG team ready to prepare the Irish defense against a solid option look. I'm sure plenty of other little tidbits from Coach Elliott made it into the day-to-day of the Irish program as well
Paul Longo, Director of Football Strength and Conditioning
GRADE: B+
The Irish continue to be able to show superior speed and power against lesser foes, and stand toe to toe with other very strong teams.
