Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly was regretful Tuesday when describing an incident on the sidelines with strength and conditioning coach David Grimes during the team's victory over Temple on Oct. 31.
Kelly was spotted shoving Grimes after the assistant appeared to say something to an official. The Fighting Irish head coach said he was concerned Grimes was going to be hit with a 15-yard penalty.
"I think I've already talked about this a couple of times," Kelly told ESPN's Matt Fortuna. "First of all, I'm responsible for the sideline and our sideline was not where it needed to be. There were some things going on on the sideline that were unacceptable and it falls on my shoulders. If we were to get a penalty in that time of the game, it would've fell on me as being somebody that can't control the sideline."
Kelly added that he and Grimes have patched things up and are moving forward.
"Having said that, I wish the situation never occurred," Kelly said. "I regret that it happened. David and I have met, we have met about the situation and we've moved past it. Dave's a valuable employee and he is a guy that does a great job here and is gonna be with us a long time."
