[BCSorBust]

Sorry just saw that what I posted was posted a couple of minutes ago . . . edited out.

Find it interesting though that Ianello and not Corwin is the interim coach.

spring game in april will tell us a helluva lot more of significance than a stupid pizza bowl game against central michigan

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I am on the fence of how i feel about this decision. On one side, I wouldnt have minded seeing what he could do with one more year. On the other hand, I am excited to see who the new coach will be. Its kinda like breaking up with a girl. youre sad because she is sad, but happy because you get to move on look forward to finding someone new, but then you hope you dont regret it by never being able to find another good looking girl. What if no one wants you anymore?

No shocker here, i am very excited for the coaching announcement and the off-season.

Think about how much better its going to be to watch spring drills and defensive adjustments.

We'll have a lot of new starters to follow and get to know. I, for one, am very happy.

silly post

silly post

This post is just silly-or is there something that I am missing. Why post this?

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

the worst part about this firing so far is that i keep getting data base errors due to the high amount of traffic currently on this site.

another 60 and IE sets another daily milestone for number of users.

Anyone else struggling to navigate this site?

Those happy or giddy about the firing of a brother alumn... a Notre Dame guy... well, although I wouldn't paint them all as subway alumns similar to Walmart Wolverines... however, I don't understand that there isn't a sense of pain that one would expect be felt in the loss of part of the Notre Dame family that truly only wanted the best for Notre dame... or that loss from those who are truly part of the Notre Dame family - alumn or not... That he really only tried. He left the program better than he found it. Whose wife really put her heart into the community and left it better than she found it with Hannah's House and Hannah and Friends. Charlie was a big part of that. Never heard his players say bad things about him. Sorry Charlie... wished it would have all worked out differently... Good luck man...

I'd like to see Chris Peterson (Boise State) and Bronco Mendenhall (BYU) in the mix, but that's if the others fall through.

I think Chirs Peterson is extremely satisfied where he's coaching. His wife has also gone on the record saying that she's not interested in taking their kids out of Boise.

just an opinion

just an opinion

I think we'll know who our next coach is by the "timing" of the event. Brian Kelly is not going to do anything until after UC's game vs Pitt this Saturday, so if it drags into next week it could be BK.

If the decision is to happen this week, it has to be Stoops or someone else that has no impending game that will effect it's chances at a BCS game.

Would Phil Fulmer be a home run? Just a thought, looking for more opinions.

Swarbrick presser life at 6:00 on Sportcenter... Whoever... as we start our search... don't like it... whistling in the dark. Reaching out to see who might be a fit... professional and collegiate... excited to get started. Timetable? Open ended. No bowl decision. Told Charlie Saturday night after the game and made the recomendation to school on Sunday. As of this moment all reports are inaccurate.. we've made no contact with anyone.

I don't understand how for the USNEWS international rankings, UM gets placed in the top 20, yet in the U.S. version of USNEWS they get shafted because of large class sizes, and other methodology that works against public schools. Yet they are very highly respected in the academia world.

Oh, well, ranking colleges is kind of stupid and I've meet seniors in high school that blindly follow things like this.

We'll just let our credibility speak for itself.

didnt mean to ruffle any feathers. ND is a very fine school.

 

[BrooksFan1877]

I don't know about the rest of you but listening to this press coference has me a little worried. Part of me thinks it would have been good to keep Charlie and replace the defensive staff for the year just to see what could have happened.

Showing the troll feathers as always expected.

not at all. just the rare person who is both a Michigan fan and one who roots for ND to be strong. they are right next door to me. i grew up on ND football, which is why id like to see them be an elite team again. i have never hated on ND an will only defend UM when they are disaraged.

worried why? right after, Mike Greenberg was talking to someone?? who said rumors were rampant that Stoops and ND/OK were already hashing out details.

i know, just rumors.
