You would think that if they actually were serious about their program. Notre Dame is not. We all know that.

Sure, they would like ro win to a degree. They like the money it brings in. But they don't really see it as an important part of the University.

They treat it like a run of the mill power 5 school would treat it instead of it being, say, like it was one of the three pillars of the University.


And It better change. This new NBC guy better pull up his big boi pants..

no ND needs to get that monkey off their back. 1993 (1994 bowl win) was before most of you were born. They should’ve won the Fiesta after BK bailed but Mike Elston pissed down his leg. Today, w/ all the opt outs; ND would absolutely have a shot at winning. Alas, wait until next year.

It's been 30 years. What's another year?

As much as this sucks to high heaven, it could be worse.


Fickell and Wisconsin lost to Indiana.
Which should serve as good context. If ND didn’t hire MF (which most of ND fans were all in on), Fickell was the one purported to be worth waiting for. So who you gonna get?

Woah woah woah he could've had Lewis?!

Ho-lee-shit I had never heard that. That puts the blame squarely back on Freeman, if true.
Exactly.

That’s partly why I feel bad for Parker. He’s a fine TE coach, but he was pretty much thrown into this role. (Yes he’s getting paid more I would assume) But Dude was fired by WV for fuck sakes. Should of never been allowed to embarrass himself or this program

Lewis was a HC. That would have made 2 former HCs on staff to help MF. I know MF wants to run the ball and people assume Lewis just what’s to chuck it all over the field. But check his track record at Penn state. Ran it 50% of the time.

Freeman is in over his head and idc what anyone says. Ludwig is on admin. Him choosing Parker is on him. He could have extended the search, but he settled on Gerad.

Especially since Lewis just got demoted for "running it too much" lmao

His wrs played much better than this crap
“His’ WR are out w/ injuries. Colzie had knee surgery after scoring 2 TD in the opener. Jaden Thomas has been a ghost since the OSU game & may as well retire at this point b/c he ain’t coming back from the hamstring.

Fickell was the sound pick but Savvy Jack loved that he could get Freeman cheap and control him.

I don't know how many times it needs to be explained that the issue with Fickell was that they were going to have to wait until after the CFP semifinal to bring him on. ND didn't want to wait and Fickell wasn't going to pull a BK and leave his team in the lurch. As far as ND was concerned, Fickell took himself out of it.

Wait a minute. BK lost too many games to count that he shouldn’t have. Whether it was year one or 2021, there’s a long list. And he had how many years of HC experience? GTFOH

“Rees was absolute dog shit”? Are you watching the Bama/LSU game right now? He‘s matching LSU blow for blow despite having a run first QB who struggles w/ the pass. Did you watch last season when Rees took Arizona State’s current 3rd string QB and cobbled together a 9 win season? He ain’t perfect…but dog shit? He’ll likely be in the NFL in a few years.

You want to fire MF now? Who you gonna get? Better question who did you pine for after BK left?
Rees is ass. The reason Bama is neck and neck with LSU is because 1) They have had the top 3 recruiting in like ten stinking years with more 5 stars on their roster than you can swing a stick at and 2) LSU's defense cant stop anyone. I speak to many boosters in Alabama all the time that swear that Rees better be gone after this season. Most HS coaches can lead an offense better than that guy. Bama scores because that talent level can score with an 8th grade coach running it, not because Rees does anything.

Not one target to Flanagan or raridon… did they even run a route? Clemson obviously keyed on staes.

We miss use our personnel so bad

Hardly any faison first half and again he’s showed he’s our best wr
Total waste. Raridon has zero targets IIRC. And he’s supposed to be athletic!? Not one target?!?

I feel bad for Jaden Thomas. Just can’t get healthy. He should just retire.

He‘s got Bama positioned to win the West & possibly win the SEC despite a QB who is one-dimensional and is nowhere near the quality of QB they had in Young, Tua, Hurts or even Coker. Regardless of all that, I guarantee you that the majority of ND fans would take Rees over Parker every day of the week.

Back to todays game; Hartman and his poor execution is making Parker look even worse. Parker basically sucking and requiring flawless execution is making Hartman look bad. Hartman won’t play a down in the NFL and Parker at best will be a position coach. He’s had his opportunities this year. Freeman get his third year but if he doesn’t can GP he will be gone after 3 seasons just like Ty.

Rees just schooled his former mentor tonight.

He hung 48 on his mentor who only has probably the best QB in college, and at least two legit receivers. I am waiting for “Put up” to pin the loss on Freeman somehow and remind us why experience matters.

I want to see another Qb under Parker before i say we dump him. That means hartman sits the rest of the year. He isnt good.
Yeah, he definitely SUCKED yesterday (Parker too actually! Hartman 13/30 and 39.6 QBR. Threw a pick-six and left 4 on the field in the first half when the RB out on the flat would have walked in for a TD yet Hartman's pass gets batted down by a lineman ... settle for the 3. DAMN! Yeah, I'm ready to see post-Hartman the remainder of the season.

If we’re going to play Rico and greathouse that can’t get open you’re better off splitting tes wide you can at least throw a jump ball to and are better blockers … and or playing two of our 3 real good rbs every play… how your have two or estime price love on the bench at all times with Rico and greathouse on the field is beyond stupid

Does anyone actualy expect Parker to be fired/demoted before Wake? I don't think it happens.

How doesn’t it? It should be every question next Monday worded in a different way each time. Also combined with how you’ve turned top acc all time passer into someone that should be benched now.
