how is going for and paying the best coach possible to bring ND back to the national stage selling out?

if ND were to lower their academic standards and allow those players that get accepted to usc, uf, georgia, lsu, etc. to come in those hallowed doors just to get another NC.....that would be selling out.

did you even see the interview of the usc linebackers after the game (maualuga & cushing)? braindead barbarians. is that what you want playing at ND?

I couldnt understand a word either one of them said after that game

Pete Carrol is different because hes a poodle. Urban Meyer is a competitor in every sense of the word, and if u didnt have a challenge, u would get bored in my opinion. plus his wife said he left his heart at Notre Dame, Notre Dame is his "dream job" and he only went to flordia because he knew our admissions office are pricks and he could stay close to his family at Flordia.....news flash, most of his children are moved out of the house. I dont think Meyer backers should keep having to regive the same reasons why he would want to come here, especially to people who have no want for Notre Dame to get him. stupidity.

He still has a 10 year old and teenager at home. Oldest daughter is heading to GT to play volleyball next year..

why would urban meyer come to notre dame

This has started to become a little clearer to me. As stated before Meyer will come eventually but not until 2-3 yrs go by. In the mean time its Charlie and much the same with a good yr (8-4 ) thrown in. The wild card is Lou and would he consider getting things right for a man he is fond of and was once a sound asst coach for him at South Bend. What people dont understand is that Notre Dame is willing to wait this out because of the $$ productivity of the program. This hurts us as fans because we love the school so much but to the decision makers its business. Meyer is exactly what Notre Dame needs if he truly feels its his dream job. The coach at Notre Dame must keep a good public front while behind closed doors he tells his team its us against the world. Thats exactly what Lou did and Ara before him. Keep a nice profile to the public and tell your players were going to tears the hearts out of the guy across the field. Its Meyer guys only when is the issue. I say 2-3 more yrs. And I would love to see Lou come back for a short time regardless of his age. I guarantee we wouldnt blow a lead in the 2nd half against NC,Pitt,Syr or get boned like we did against BC. Charlie should give everyone a break and bow out, stay in the family and be recognized as a guy who gave his best but it was just not good enough.

Good post....dont think Lou is coming back though.Urban is the answer for this college IMO as well. I dont hate charlie at all, i think he really loves ND football and understands the university....he has just underperformed as a coach and needs to go. No hate at all, just the facts. Urban gets it too, just doesnt get admissions....which actually charlie doesnt like the admissions either, see Baldwin from last year.

absolutely right on big man, I do think that after 2-3 more yrs of suffering Meyer would get the admissions request. I agree with your thoughts on Charlie, he gave his best it just wasnt good enough. What I dont want is to hear all this prep for next year and when Nevada beats us or we win by 5 pts that all is well and were going to be decent to good team in 2009. When has that ever be good enough.

losing should never ever be accepted at Notre Dame, and under weis's play calling and game prep, it has been accepted.....im actually starting to think some players might actually dislike weis, but they arent allowed to say anything because they would probably get kicked off the team by him.

Kids on a team not liking a coach would be VERY strange! Some of my best coaches in HS I hated at the time because they made you work hard and were always on your ass. I am sure every back-up who thinks he should be starting dislikes weis!

Yeah, well im hearing rumors some players wouldnt care if he left....and when i was in HS, no one gave a damn if your 3rd string or 1st string, we respected our coach and liked him because he knew what he was talking about because we won. no one cares about conditioning when u win. charlie isnt winning, he is losing, not only games, but the hearts and minds of his players.

Some here know I post regularly at your sister site DomerDomain and I posted this there. When i saw this thread here, my post there was a good fit for a response to this thread as well.

I'm not saying whether I want UM or not. I do want to see what CW can do with Jimmy's class as Juniors and out of the "Sophmore Slump".

But,,,,

There is one main reason, that trumps all others why Urban Meyer would seek the Notre Dame head coaching job. It's the main reason so many that have come before took the job even though there are restrictions that come with the job. That reason is this, Urban Meyer can win 20 National Championships at Florida and be remembered as one of the best coaches ever (see Jimmy Johnson). He could go on to the NFL and win 5 Super Bowls and be remembered along the lines of Walsh and others.

Win ONE National Championship at Notre Dame and you become LEGEND!!

Believe it or not, "LEGEND" means something. To these guys, LEGEND is immortality. It's not something that you can get anywhere else. No amount of money can buy it.

This is why Notre Dame will be at the peak of College Football once again, because "someone" would practically die to become a LEGEND.

Will it be CW? Maybe. But take my word for it, there WILL be another Notre Dame LEGEND! I just hope i witness it in my lifetime.

Great post, reps to you. I have said this before, but I think Urban Meyer will coach Notre Dame, it just wont be next year.

For those who don't know, Urban Meyer was never offered the HC job a few years ago...this coming from a Very reliable source..anyways, I do think Urban does want to come back to ND and wants to lead us to the promise land and become a legend. He just can't do that at Florida. If CW doesn't win 9-10 games next year, expect Urban to be our new HC..he will bring the fire and charisma our team so desperately needs...O yea, he's kind of a good recruiter...

So Kevin White flew his ass to Utah, met with Meyer personally, and did not offer him the job.

Whatever. Sorry, but your source is wrong. Urban even talked about it.

Urban Meyer will never coach at ND...it's one of those weird pipe dream guys like Gruden. Sometimes people just can't let go of a bad thing.

Yep your right sometimes people dont let go of bad things..... like charlie weis. Trying to inquire about other coaches interest in being the head coach at ND was never even considered by the ND administration. not a weird pipe dream in Urbans mind, more like a dream job. but hey, why not continue to suck at football huh?

Scout.com: Swarbrick Talks About Decision

"I didnt talk to anybody, anyone associated with Notre Dame didnt talk to anybody. We didnt have 3rd parties talk to anybody"-Swarbrick comment on asking about other coaches interest. This AD is going to be a real ballsack.

You can have your "class", I'll take "wins." I know everyone is all about doing it the "ND way" but when push comes to shove, it's about wins, not how many people we graduate. YOU CAN NOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. 1988 yes, 2008 no


You take the wins your way...with no dignity and little class.
ND can recruit quality student-athletes and win games. Even possibly NCs.
But those of us who cherish our degrees do not want to lower our standards.
If you want to dumb down be my guest and send your child athlete to Okla or
USC with >60% graduation rates.

Let's not forget the first part of the mission statement of what our universities
are supposed to be. To educate students and embue them with the ability and
wisdom to contribute to society.

Those who give a damn have the motto indelibly inked into their brains...
GOD-COUNTRY-NOTRE DAME

Nowhere did I see in the literature from ND...'Send your student to us because
we win National Championships. What do you want your child to be?

Nope, he never did..believe what u want.. In that meeting Urban wanted to take JUCO's and ALOT of tweeners academically into ND...CW only get only 1 maybe 2 tweeners a year...Urban wasn't stupid and he saw the cupboard was bare and went to FLA where Zook recruited crazy talent..Maybe I'm wrong LOVEMYIRISH cuz I've always respected your posts..

Well, let's see...for Urban to talk about JUCOs and "tweeners" there is a reason...he was made an offer. You are correct that he saw the cupboard was bare and his wife wanted Florida, so he turned down ND. However, you can only turn something down if it was offered.

Urban Meyer was offered the job. turned it down because he was smart and seen the cupboard bare, coaching credability would go down the drain in two years because ND wouldnt give him the players he needed to win. Good call on his part, but he still loves ND. you can shut dowb the thread but keep it in the archives i will bring it back up in 2010 when notre dame gets smart and actually looks into new coaches because No coaches turned down the job this year.

Nice find; great read. Wow, now we get 10 more years of "Will Meyer come?" discussions, threads, etc. When do his kids graduate?

Agreed that is a nice find. But I 'll be honest with you. I dont think that he will wait until all his kids are grown up.

This is how I see the scenario playing out. I think Charlie will get this program back to going to BCS bowls, much like he has already done. But we wont be able to break through to the title game, and eventually the administration will get fed up. Charlie will last another 3-4 years, and at that point, Urban will come. He will have won a 3rd national championship at Florida and will be bored.

Of course this is all just a guess and I could be completely wrong, but I wouldnt be surprised if something similar to that happens.

For those of you who say Urban will NEVER come to ND, with all due respect, I think that is being naive. He is only 40 years old, probably will coach for another 20 years or so, so to say he will never come here, well how do you know? Can you get me the powerball numbers too? That would be fantastic

Wow. Great find mooney, reps to you. Love how recent the article is (12-10-08), and the quotes in it from meyer. gives the real reasons he didnt come to ND 4 years ago..... Like many meyer supporters have said before....

#1=FAMILY. Just the type of coach notre dame needs, a family man who understands what should come first in life and instills that value in young men.

#2=LATE offer from NOTRE DAME! love this one because its a new one and can shout up the haters who said he should have came here 4yrs ago if he really wanted the job. meyer said when ND finally did offer he was already "in the 11th hour with Flordias offer." Notre Dame jumped in the race when it was almost finished. Nice.

notice he said nothing about JUCOs or Academics being the reasons for not coming here. he did say he knew he had the chance to be successful at flordia too.... something he might not have had the chance to be at Notre Dame. Still holding out hope for this guy, think he is here once charlie is fired for a horrible year either next year or 2010. One more final meyer quote from 12-10-08, "Notre Dame is still my DREAM JOB, that hasnt changed."

HAHAHAHAHA. yea, im going to bring this back up in a year when i assume Charlie finally gets the boot and Notre Dame want to get a GOOD HC, and look to every possibility to find the best candidate for the job. who is there waiting but a man who has all the genius, heart, and intangibles to make notre dame a national champion once again. (playmakers check, nationally recruiting power check, and a chance to be a legend forever in football history check) LOVE IT!
