Brian Kelly addressed his team on Tuesday to reflect on Ara Parseghian in the wake of Ara’s unfortunate passing early Tuesday morning. Much has been said about Coach Parseghian today as sports writers across the country have talked about Ara the coach and Ara the man. In addition to reflecting on what Ara Parseghian meant to Notre Dame, Kelly also noted in the video above that the Irish helmets in 2017 will honor the late great.
Notre Dame helmets will simply say “ARA” across the middle of the helmet replacing the traditional “IRISH” that is normally in that place.
