A
normal day in the life of Brian
Kelly this spring looks noth-
ing like the good old days pre-
COVID-19.
The briefings to the Irish head
coach from support staff, alongside
meetings with assistants and players,
go on as usual. It's operating a foot-
ball program from a distance that is
anything but routine for an Irish head
coach used to building relationships
with a handshake and in-person.
Handling all football business
through internet platforms such as
Zoom, Skype and FaceTime are the
new norm for Kelly and NCAA
coaches everywhere, all trying to mas-
ter these vital communication tools.
"I'm getting better at it, but I need
quite a bit of assistance too," Kelly
said April 8, during a press briefing
via Zoom. "It's an interesting day."
