Allegations that Brian Kelly, a once-respected coach, had a hand in the tragic death of young team member Declan Sullivan have resurfaced.

As word of these claims spreads quickly, it has sparked debate and led many people to doubt Kelly’s integrity and deeds.

Kelly said that his entire team deserved to be after Notre Dame’s defeat to Toledo. Due to their unsatisfactory performance, they were put to death.

Kelly’s remarks, which were viewed as impolite and improper, offended many people.

Some others even made a connection between his remarks and the alleged carelessness and wrongdoing against him.

Kelly later issued an apology for his comments, claiming that they had been misconstrued and that he had not intended to hurt or insult anyone.

The devasting incident that gave rise to these allegations occurred on October 27, 2010.

Student filmmaker Declan Sullivan, 20, passed away while recording a Notre Dame football practise.

Sullivan had expressed concern about the hazardous weather, which included heavy winds, while filming from atop a hydraulic lift.

When the wind blew up while Sullivan was working the lift, it toppled over and he plunged 50 feet to his death.

The incident was ascribed to the university’s failure to provide a safe environment for its student-athletes and the irresponsibility of the Notre Dame Athletics Department.

Sullivan’s death was mostly the fault of the athletic department and the university, although some members of the public have placed the blame on the then-coach Brian Kelly.

The allegations derive from the fact that Kelly was in charge of the overall direction and control of the football team’s practises.

Kelly’s role in the choice to hold the course that day has drawn criticism from some because he was aware of the hazardous weather conditions.

Additionally, some have suggested that Kelly may have contributed to a culture of neglect and risky practises by his allegedly bad treatment of Sullivan in the past.

There is no proof that he was accountable for Sullivan’s sad tragedy, even if he might have contributed to the football team’s culture and procedures.
