Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

[IrishTusker]

I believe MF's agent is Clint Dowdle, described in an article today as Sexton's "protege."

 

[benneboy]

Ryan Day had an 8 figure buyout when he re-signed. Not sure why that would prevent you from hiring future coaches.

This is the same agent that Kenny Dillingham uses so maybe he's been preoccupied by renegotiating the ASU contract with the recent Michigan interest. Now that's done they can get back to MF

Edit: lemme put this a better way

Walk buyouts are paid by the coach (or new employer on their behalf) to the old employer when a coach leaves of his own accord. These are small, barely worth mentioning. $10 mill in major college contracts, if that.

Terminated buyouts are paid by an employer to the coach if the coach is terminated without cause -Jimbo's $75 mill, Kelly's $55 mill.


No major school will insist on a high walk buyout because no coach would accept one. They'd simply go to the next potential job that would hire without one.

And as soon as word got around that you're requiring a large walk buyout, nobody wants to work for you.

Andy and Ari weigh in ( I just started and haven't listened to what they have to say yet, so no summary)

I have three daughters but I come to this board for the girl drama. It's great.

CFB recruiting and sports offseasons in general are Bravo TV for men

There is zero chance I will ever listen to that pod. Ari not only is a terrible analyst that knows nothing, he also spent 6 weeks trashing ND every chance he got.

Would be hilarious to see a lifetime movie about SEC football.

In fairness to Ari after the NIU loss last season he said ND would get to the NC game. At the time he was actually was more bullish on ND than many ND fans.

To be clear I got tired of his 'head to head' sthick too but his role on that show is to serve as a foil to generate hits/eyeballs. I get it so I don't take it personally.

I propose any person using Kalshi odds unironically should be banned for a week.

 

[SoIll]

1) first call. Make them say no

2) Give me 2 others we’d have a fighting chance with.

Okay, I will be booed out of here but here we go:

1. Urban Meyer and than Luflaer
2 . Man, the Pickens are slim…. Really struggling

 

[irishff1014]

I still don’t believe he leaves and his agent is being a tool bag, like most agents.

 

[Irish5Saint]

1) first call. Make them say no

2) Give me 2 others we’d have a fighting chance with.

1) Ryan Day

2) Clark Lea and Matt Campbell

In fairness, who gives a shit what that chode thinks

 

[NDWarrior]

1) Ryan Day

2) Clark Lea and Matt Campbell

This is a pretty good overview (one of the writers is Mark Schlabach) of how today's up and coming coaches have gone about building their teams and culture leveraging increased NIL $ and the TP, and (for now) turning their up-until-now never rans into CFP contenders. Lea is mentioned.

College football's new era of parity has arrived, but is it here to stay?

Lanning

Lea and sneakily Elko
Next tier would be Rees and Brohm

Gruden just because I like him and actually think he could do well here

Mega hard no on Gruden. Like, “I’d stop watching or following Notre Dame entirely until he’s fired” mega hard no.

 

[GATTACA!]

My first call would be Narduzzi. After he answered I’d say “lick my balls bitch” then hang up.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Shit…….We are making lists.

No to anyone that is an old head/steady hand. Elko is a no. I won’t compare him to Sonny Dykes, but I will compare that TCU run to the title game season to the season Elko had this year. That was his high water mark.

Yes, Elko is a fantastic coach, but I see him more as Paul Chyrst with better resources than a natty winner.

Why so hard on Gruden?

 

[TorontoGold]

1) Ryan Day

2) Clark Lea and Matt Campbell

Matt Campbell, in the year 2025 soon to be 2026? If he wins more than (2) playoff games in the next 5 years at PSU perma my ass.

 

[GATTACA!]

Why so hard on Gruden?

Colin is woke.

 

[IrishEyesAreSmiling]

Only answer is Lea if Marcus actually leaves which I doubt he leaves for another 2-3 years

 

[IrishBoognish]

when did we start making lists

why are we making lists?

God save us

 

[NCIrish24]

1. Cignetti
2. Lea/Elko

…Rees would be last resort but potential to be a really good hire

 

[IrishBoognish]

Colin is woke.

fuck Gruden

thats my list

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

What the fuck is going on here

It's fucking Christmas and people are still pissing in the bed? For fuck sakes if it were to happen then you grow the fuck up and move on

Come on pussies. Merry Christmas
