The 1999 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team finished the season with a record of 5-7. The Irish were led by head coach Bob Davie, who was in his third season at Notre Dame.
Kevin Rogers was the offensive coordinator of the 1999 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. He was in his first season at Notre Dame, and he was responsible for one of the worst offenses in college football history.
Rogers was known for his spread offense, which is a pass-heavy offense that relies on short and intermediate passes. Rogers was also known for his use of multiple formations and personnel groupings. However, Rogers' offense was not successful at Notre Dame in 1999.
The Irish's offense was one of the worst in the country in 1999. The Irish averaged only 29.0 points per game, which was the 75th most in the country. The Irish offense was led by quarterback Jarious Jackson, who threw for 2,397 yards and 14 touchdowns. Jackson was also a good runner, and he rushed for 433 yards and 5 touchdowns. The Irish also had a running back by the name of Julius Jones, who rushed for 821 yards and 6 touchdowns.
The Irish's defense was also not very good in 1999. The Irish allowed 331.0 points per game, which was the 81st most in the country. The Irish defense was led by linebacker Courtney Watson, who recorded 101 tackles and 12 sacks. Watson was a first-team All-Big East selection in 1999. The Irish defense also had a number of other talented players, including defensive tackle John McCargo and safety Gerome Sapp.
