Bleacher Report:

Just when you think it can’t get any worse for the Notre Dame football program it does. Lately it seems like everybody wants to take shots at the program while it is down and now that includes former quarterbacks that played at the school.
Quarterback Joe Montana played three seasons for Notre Dame and threw for over 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns. His numbers were nowhere near as good as his hall of fame NFL career but he is one of the most popular members of the Notre Dame alumni.
Last week Montana held a speech in New York and was asked if he would ever consider a position as an athletic director or coach for his former school.
He responded with, “You’re asking me at absolutely the wrong time.”
Maybe it is the wrong time. Notre Dame has once again underachieved this season after having high expectations. They’ve lost three games this season in games they easily could have won and turned the ball over 13 times in those three losses. The coaches and players are often criticized for lack of effort and many believe that head coach Brian Kelly, who is in his second year, is not the right man for the job.
Despite all of that Montana didn’t stop there. He continued with, “What happened with my son and the reasons for leaving Notre Dame shouldn’t happen to any kid,” he said. “At this point in time, it’s hard to be in their corner.” Montana stressed “preparation, work and trust” as the keys to success. “I really believe that the way you come to work every day has more to do with your success than anything you do,” he said.
His son Nate Montana recently transferred from Notre Dame to the Montana Grizzles. But during his stay in South Bend he was arrested twice for underage drinking and suspension of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Maybe it’s just sour grapes coming from Montana with these comments or maybe he does have a point.

The rest here.

What next? Will Brian Kelly piss off ‘Rudy’ Ruettiger?
