08:19 AM ET 04.01 | The fourth day of spring football practice found head coach Brian Kelly in no mood for compliments. "We stink right now," the Irish first-year head coach said in a response to a rather benign/generic warm-up question. "We're just so far from where we need to be in terms of attention to detail. This is a step back today. ... You're an 18-, 19-, 20-year old and you're playing at Notre Dame and it's 70 degrees out and I've got to motivate you? That's why we're not on the same page yet." He went on to describe No. 1 quarterback Dayne Crist's fundamentals "as sloppy as they come," the slot receiver position as one without any candidates he's comfortable with, and claimed to have enough unpleasant spring surprises to fill 20 minutes with the media.
