I want Rees gone.
Agreed…….we’ve had way too many missed offensive opportunities. There have been plenty of times where the play call was good but the execution was not. Much of that has been on the QB play although there have been plenty of instances where the ”receiver” execution has been poor (lack of separation/focus as well as dropped balls). If the QB play was elevated, I think this would have mitigated much of the offensive ineffectiveness. Personally, I’d like to see Angeli get some real time as I feel his ceiling is much higher than Pyne. Love Pyne‘s effort and love for his team but his locking on receivers, height limitations and relative limitations on mobility are going to make his performances uneven at best. Angeli would have uneven performances as well but his future is much different. Maybe the staff feels Angeli isn’t ready from knowing the playbook standpoint and that may be holding him back.
I’ve been Freeman supporter and I still am, but those comments were concerning. He’s either lying or he’s extremely wrong.
You and the rest of the boo birds weren't remotely satisfied with the high floor/ low ceiling that Kelly provided in his last five years. As soon as we ran into an elite defense in the post-season and looked predictably inept moving the ball, you'd all go into existential crisis mode about how ND will never win another championship, time to move on from Kelly, etc. Excuse me if I'm not impressed by your newfound respect for Kelly only now that he became the first coach to ever voluntarily leave ND to chase a bag. You will reach for any argument, no matter how unprincipled, if it lets you bitch about the program.
QB recruiting has been a persistent problem since Kelly arrived. QB development has not.
You don't know the first f*cking thing about what a CFB HC does during the game. This is all emotional projection for you.
Irish fans deserve better than this. But Kelly left ND with some major holes on the roster, and there's almost always pain during head coaching transitions. It's still far too early to tell what Freeman is capable of. I'm still glad we gambled on the low floor/ high ceiling guy (Freeman) over the safe hire (Fickell). The latter would have signalled that ND doesn't really expect to ever compete for another title.
I really don't give a shit what that self-serving mercenary fuck chooses to leak about Freeman.
BK is an infinitely better Head Football Coach than Freeman, if you like it or not.
A great post Sea Turtle.
Agree. Fickell would be Kelly 2.0. Need to give Freeman a year to acclimate. The good part is he's not making knee jerk decisions based off of emotions or results.
LOL - the Bama boards are firing the OC, DC, DB coaches and their S&C staff...
Thats what I thought about the Presser too. Total trainwreck. He should be angry as fuck instead he looks like he wants to fucking cry. This is Football, not figure skating. Grow some. Those players should be working out like they are hitting the Beaches at Normandy against UNLV and he should be so far in Rees's shorts over this pathetic offense that he stops golfing.
This has been going on for years. YEARS.
Good to know that my ignore button hasn't caused me to miss anything from that shit poster.
I sincerely don't understand this. What could Freeman have done demonstrably in front of cameras that was going to make this team better than 3-3? Fist pumps? Dance steps? Maybe play grab ass with the chain gang? What does it look like, exactly? I don't see how Freeman having a mini fuckabout on the sidelines is beneficial to the rest of the staff and the players.
yeah, i think freeman though he could just walk in and keep ND on autopilot and just roll to a 10 win season. say what you want about BK but he really new what he was doing, probably all those years of HC experience to lean on. everything is flying at MF at 100 mph and he's having to figure everything out on the fly and it's just not working.
I think BK's comments about Freeman being hired were unfortunately not malicious but real: "They will have growing pains.... He (MF) will learn some things along the way."
