Key notes from Matt Hayes interview

  • I’ve been bullish about Mike Elko ever since he was the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame. Every time you talk to him, you get a better idea of who he is. He is a terrific ball coach and a smart evaluator and developer of talent.
     
  • You can talk all you want about how it is Marcel Reed's third year, he’s primed for a good season, or his receivers look good.
