Next ND Offensive Coordinator - the search

[Irish du Nord]

Not sure it would need to have anything to do with Allar.

Even if Allar is a quality prospect, that could be a 2-3 year process. Hartman is already that guy. With an elite OL and running game. Like all the ND writers have posited already. This is a very coveted position for reasons that have nothing to do with a True Sophomore QB.

Agreed. Also, we talked a lot about Rees’s move not being a lateral move. Well this wouldn’t be a lateral move either.

PSU is loaded at RB, probably has better WRs, returns I think 4 OL including a 1st rounder like Alt. Allar is his gem that his tenure at PSU rides on. He shouldn’t want to go lateral right now. It would be odd to do so. It was somewhat in jest, but he’s got a full cupboard at PSU. Resetting your coaching clock is a move that coaches that want to retain their good name do.

Leaving would 100% draw that question from many combined with how annoying is James Franklin truly.

One of the leading passers in ACC history or any True Sophomore QB. It really could have nothing to do with it.

I am still throwing up at the visual of the big A on the Alabama jet on the South Bend Airport tarmac.

ND needs to get a gold just w a Green Shamrock

The flight tracker always makes me laugh, that’s some grade A detective work……NO CAP

Some of you need a hug…and fresh air.

It definitely had a 'welcome to the big time, Tommy' vibe to it.

I hated it too.

Nah I still think seeing the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile is a bigger deal.

Loy thinks it’s Klein

 

[IRISHDODGER]

They are, but it sounds like only 10 can be on the road. The 11th coach can't travel to recruit

Which makes it attractive IMO. Can you imagine all the G5 assistants wanting to jump on that? More pay, better facilities, better talent, no recruiting on the road?

He was put on the spot. "Who's your best guess at this point"

"My best guess as of tonight would be Collin Klein from Kansas State."

 

[StPaul_Irish]

Loy thinks it’s Klein

Because it's the only name any of us are aware of.

"Colorado play-caller Sean Lewis, Utah's Andy Ludwig and Kansas State's Collin Klein are the candidates who have received the most extensive attention from the Irish, per sources with direct knowledge among multiple involved parties."

"...sources indicated Freeman had "communicated with" more than 10 potential coordinators."

"Klein was in South Bend, Indiana, both Wednesday evening and into Thursday before flying back to Kansas State"

"Big 12 sources late Thursday told FootballScoop that the Irish's personal interactions with Klein were the deepest, from Klein's interactions with Freeman to his time talking football with Notre Dame's offensive coaching staff."

 

[Luckylucci]

So, Freeman and Klein have the same agent…

That certainly reads like, if one were to handicap a clubhouse leader, Klein would be it.

Could mean an agent connected them and Freeman liked Klein enough to hire him.

Could mean that the agent is using one client to get another client a raise and an extension.

“Freeman needs the freedom to hire his own guy!”

*Hires someone with a ton of commonalities with Rees*

Well, man Klein has a thin resume.

 

[Giddyup]

Just maybe Freeman likes Rees’s style. We did go 9-2 after the disastrous start.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

The KSU 247 board feels bad about losing him. More than can be said about Rees here at ND

 

[Luckylucci]

Well, this is one way to get Avery Johnson to Notre Dame

 

[TheRealLynch51]

Oh my. The Loyster with a "expect a final decision soon".

 

[Irishdrunk]

It definitely felt like Big Dawg Saban was pissing on our lawn. Whatever.

I wonder how many universities have their own jets...

I’d say that would definitely point to Klein

Okay, well I watched a few KSU games and enjoyed the offense.

 

[EvilleIrish]

My goodness what an absolute clown show

 

[NDFAN2008]

Klein seems like a guy who would stick around for multiple years

 

[EvilleIrish]

I mean did we really bring one guy to campus and say nah we are good

 

[Irish14]

Who cares

Just watched a Klein press conference. Kid says “you know” about a million times. Not sure what that says about his intellect but dang that’s one hell of a nervous tick.
