On Thursday, Brian Kelly put the last two pieces of the puzzle together. He announced the hiring of Wide Receiver’s coach DelVaughn Alexander and Director of Football Performance Matt Balis.
After going 4-8 in 2016, Brian Kelly’s seat couldn’t be hotter. He decided to revamp his coaching staff in a major way. Kelly started by firing his Defensive Coordinator after a week 3 loss to Duke.
There would be much more to come.
Since season’s end, Kelly has fired Special Team’s and Tight End’s Coach Scott Booker, Defensive Line Coach Keith Gilmore and Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Paul Longo.
