If they "realize this" and "fix it" as in we see a bunch of PAs after BYE, it doesn't matter. Not having known/done this the first go around shows a complete ineptitude in understanding football.

 

[domerfreak]

Incredible that my 10% guess was 2x too high. Truly unbelievable based on how we run the ball.

This is why I have no faith in Freeman. Zero situational awareness.

Joe Moorhead man.

Akron is one of the worse jobs in college football. He was a name rumoured to be floating around last off-season, whether he actually interviewed or not. Akron gave him a extension and raise just not keep him from leaving, but that type of deal is only worth its weight for a single season.

I believe the Ravens were also rumored to have had interest.

There has to be balance of run and pass, and if an NFL team like the Ravens was checking Moorhead out, it's worth another look if they put feelers out this past carousel. Sean Lewis doesn't give you that. I don't give a shit that Brian Hartline can recruit, and he's not leaving Ohio State for Notre Dame. Just not going to happen.

Not only that - I noticed this live and couldn’t believe it.

We split Raridon and Rico out wide on opposite sides. The box is already crammed and we motion both into the line of scrimmage and ran up the middle. We motioned Rico Freaking Flores to the H-Back spot, adding another unnecessary defender to the box, and asked him to run block on the goal line?!

Yep, they can cover Rico with safety or db 1-1… at goal line defense Clemson had only 2-3 dbs on field , we had 4-5 when they were at the 1

Crushing to see this, or using motion with Tyree or Faison. Not talking about motion then pausing before snap. Get a head start with their speed.

In bye week they should give Gino or Rudolph a shot. Can’t be worse. Then stand outside of Lewis’ window with a boombox and beg for forgiveness.

Nice to see someone from ISD actually putting it out there. They're too soft on coaches (other than Matt but he does it in recruiting). Thank you Greg.

 

[irishff1014]

Greg on fire this morning.

 

[TallyHoND]

Time to put up a billboard by the Linebacker calling for Parker’s firing with these stats.

And I’d start Angeli.

This has been a theme most of the season. Hartman and ND are much better when they throw in more play action. I have no fricken idea why Parker will not call PA plays more. Against Pitt, Rico had a huge gain because they ran a PA pass and every single defender ran to the LOS thinking it was run. It’s ridiculous fans can see this, but the OC doesn’t. The assistants should be speaking up too.

 

[IrishSpartan]

First issue to be dealt with before we get into a new OC is tressel ball. It needs to be recognized by MF that this style does not work anymore its time to evolve and adapt.

If Freeman is dead set that he wants a Tressel offense from 20 years ago then he needs to be fired. You have to have creativity.

 

[Giddyup]

You don’t win football games based on trick plays. You can win with all kinds of offenses if u win in the trenches ultimately. We shouldn’t narrow any potential search down by styles.

 

[NDdomer2]

It's weird to me that we have a set of plays that seem specifically for Faison, that we only pull out once we're down and abandoning our standard offense. vs recognizing he's one of if not the best at getting separation and utilizing him all game long. That's bad coaching.

 

[NDdomer2]

I for one enjoy the ramblings of pseudo tough guys who can’t handle their liquor.

The smartest guy in the room is rarely the one even talking. It's certainly not the one feeling the need to tell you he's the smartest guy in the room.

Fuckin' Parker, man. Hartman's numbers are best when he's throwing out of PA too. Go to your strength! Down just one score we had one carry to Estime the entire 4th quarter and no PA. Parker decided to channel a Mike Leach Air Raid that did absolutely nothing.

Is this an account run by an ND fan who just throws shit out there w/ no true sources? I hope it’s true but I’m dubious.

Def an ND fan, and I’ve always assumed his main sources were simply posters here.

Always struck me as one of those accounts that repeats what they read on the premium sites and tries to pass themselves off as an insider.

 

[Luckylucci]

And we wonder why Hartman seems to have checked out.

Yea, he’s got a fucking zombie for an OC.

Probably,

Yes, reads message boards & paid articles and posts as if they know something.

For a team that wants to run the ball, PA would seem to be a natural part of the gameplan from week to week.

2 is such a pathetically low number that this is where it starts to fall on the HC. At no point in the game is Freeman doing any sort of damage control, problem solving, etc.
