Next ND Offensive Coordinator - the search

[Irish#1]

Anybody want to guess when we will get an answer on Ludwig?

Tomorrow

Given what has been shown so far, I would be surprised if we would dismiss some coaches in favor of Ludwig’s, especially Harry.

 

[irishog77]

I don't think he is going to bring anyone.
The OL coach is already the AHC and has been there 9 years.
The TE coach has been there 7 years and is a Whittingham, so I'm assuming he is related to the HC.
The WR coach has been there 2 years. Maybe he likes him, but maybe he also likes Stuckey.
The RB coach has only been there for one year.

None of those really seem like the type where a coach has a long history with a guy and are a package deal. It might be more of something where we keep those names in mind the next time we would have to replace one of those positions.

They do have a GA that maybe we should get as an analyst. Besides working with Ludwig, the previous year he was a GA at Tennessee State. We shouldn't need an inside source on an FCS team, but it wouldn't hurt when we will be coming back from Ireland and working on a weird schedule.

There is also an analyst that has been with Ludwig for a long time. I bet he comes over.

I doubt MF is hiring any coaches to his staff because he was a GA at TSU 2 years ago.

I trust anyone Freeman brings in, which is a weird place to be for a young largely unproven head coach. His batting average on hires thus far has been phenomenal.

I don’t know if this is them just hedging their bets or if it’s actual Intel they’re getting. But per Loy and Prister this morning, people at Utah still expect Ludwig back.

 

[Irishdrunk]

A midol joke? Really? Come on. Do better. Get some new material and stop focusing on Rees. Maybe talk about the new OC? Either way you’re going to need some new material over the next few months

"Do better" - hmmmm a favorite phrase of a certain analyst that also happens to be the least fit former QB I have ever seen.

I am sorry you are upset but unlike some pay boards, IE actually allows a diversity of opinions. Hopefully you got some good sleep to celebrate MF soon hiring an experienced OC.

Like to fly back and pack his belongings, right?

I think the exact quote from Loy was "they're not overly optimistic, but they believe he could end up passing on ND" about the Utahs staffs current feelings.

This morning Prister said, last night it looked like Ludwig would end up at ND but the Utah people are saying otherwise.

The answer to your question of which is it is going to be can only be answered when Ludwig makes a decision. All of his actions point toward him coming to Notre Dame but yes, Utah believes he could still remain on staff. They aren’t overly optimistic, but they do believe in the end, he could very well decide to pass on Notre Dame.

Loy from 14 minutes ago

Only person I trust getting info from on the coaching search is Dinich, ND beat is 50:50 guessing at this point.

Agreed. I'm subscribed to all of the sites, but most are getting the chop after this. Clearly Rees was their source and now they got nothing.

 

[Dale]

- Prister I don’t view as someone with sources anymore. It’s drastically changed since BK left.

- I believe Ludwig’s interview was last night into today, so it’s likely impossible to know right now.

 

[NDFAN2008]

ND better hope he accepts

 

[Free Manera]

So if it ends up not being Ludwig, are we finally on to Lewis? The beat has no idea, we can guess as good as them.

 

[50milesSE ND]

Man I want Freeman’s hoodie!

 

[Luckylucci]

Personally, I’d be surprised if Ludwig ends up back at Utah. I was simply stating what Loy and Prister are saying this morning.

To this point, great Loy/Prister moment on the beat yesterday. People were asking if Ludwig was on that plane from Utah. Loy said something like "I can't confirm for sure, but theres a growing sense it could be." Then Dinich sends out her tweet about confirming it. Loy then takes credit like 2 hours later for saying he confirmed it. It made me legit lol.

 

[greyhammer90]

Same rule as recruits: Look at what the individual is doing, not what the 247 insiders say.

Generally you don't get on a plane for a job you don't intend to take.

 

[ACamp1900]

So just checking in to see how y’all holding up,… bit of advice, stay calm and realistic,… Sean McVay will take the job soon enough,…

 

[irishog77]

Loy and Prister then just throwing shit against the wall.

Ludwig is personally at ND, hanging with MF, and going to hockey game….but the people back in Utah, who these reporters also don’t know, are a reliable source that he’ll likely decide NOT to come to ND. Makes sense.

Totally clear that they have no idea what is going on and are just “reporting” shit to get the clicks. And then in the end, when Ludwig either comes to ND or stays at Utah, they’ll pat themselves on the back and claim, “I was right and accurate the entire time. Way to go me!”

Just shut up, admit you don’t know anything, and actually “report” when you do know something. There’s no shame in not knowing every single in and out of MF’s interviews.

 

[StPaul_Irish]

ND better hope he accepts

Or what? We start talking birthdays away? you will stop watching games?

Orrrrrrrr.....

They move on?

We're already starting to see this happen. Loy casually dropped a "if he chooses ND, he was on our very first list from the beginning" yesterday

Oh, but it'll be "not a good look." !!!

Pretty crazy how media loses the pulse of a program when one coach leaves

This... It's pretty clear Tommy liked to talk to the press

 

[EvilleIrish]

Spot on. These guys have to be worried since they have zero access now.

 

[notredomer23]

Anyone tracking his return flight?

One thing I respect about ISD is if they don’t have info they don’t post updates just to post.

I don’t see any return flights scheduled back for today unless he’s going back commercial lol. But I’ll admit I’m an amateur on flight tracking.
