We Need a New Coach - We Need Gus Malzahn

[TheBigGipper]

I meant that they (general public, writers, ESPN pundits, etc.) said that BK would bring a high octane offense to ND (i.e. Spread), not necessarily the point differential stat you pointed out.

I'm going by proven statistical facts. Not pundit opinions.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

There's a slight difference in age between Malzahn and Spurrier.

[TheBigGipper]

Notice how he says "you're".

Kinda sounds like he isn't actually a fan...

Why I say "you're" - I'm addressing those of you who are apparently happy with the status quo.

What "we" should be after are perfect seasons and national championships.

By the way, which offensive coordinator won the national championship last year?

LOL. Is that the best you've got?

Saban is well payed and he can recruit just fine at Alabama. He's said that he's not interested in leaving and you can rest assured that the school would match whatever Notre Dame would offer. That's beyond a long shot. I'm talking about realistic options here, folks.

sorry i did not know that you was being realistic.

Cam Newton.. and some guy that rode his coat tails

 

[SBjandy7]

Settle down. Brian Kelly is the coach for this team. Getting a new coach would put us back another 4-5 years. Gus Malzahn has lucked out everywhere he's been. Cam Newton, love him or hate him, was a once in a lifetime talent and fit that offense perfectly. Darren McFadden should have won the Heisman while he was at Arkansas. Plus, Felix jones and Peyton Hillis made that a dominant backfield that any QB could've succeeded with. He's a good coach, but BK is our guy

 

[TheBigGipper]

I'm not in a hole.

Yes, you are. If you accept the status quo you're in a hole of mediocrity as well.

Am I stating the truth here?

Did Malzahn's offense increase team point totals by almost 20 points or more a game whenever he joined the team as offensive coordinator?

And does it work in the SEC?

If you answered an honest yes to each of those questions, then I want a coherent argument as to why you think it won't work at Notre Dame?

This dude has fallen off his rocker enough said.

 

[TheBigGipper]

Newton would not have been as prolific in another offensive scheme, and would definitely have not have escaped some of those close calls without it.

Our offense is averaging ~500 yards/ game. Unless Malzahn knows how to magically stop his players from turning the ball over, I don't know why you think he's the solution to this season's problems.

If you answered an honest yes to each of those questions, then I want a coherent argument as to why you think it won't work at Notre Dame?

Lol. You're right. We should be after perfect seasons and national championships, but you couldn't have realistically foreseen that coming for this season or next.

Are you kidding me? Malzahn had the national championship in 2 years. Even with Newton, they could not have won it without him. Other coaches have produced much faster results. I'm telling you, if you team him with a top notch defensive coordinator we can have success very quickly.

Gus Malzahn has lucked out everywhere he's been. Cam Newton, love him or hate him, was a once in a lifetime talent and fit that offense perfectly. Darren McFadden should have won the Heisman while he was at Arkansas. Plus, Felix jones and Peyton Hillis made that a dominant backfield that any QB could've succeeded with.

His system also worked at Tulsa without any major recruiting talent. IT'S ABOUT THE POINTS ON THE SCOREBOARD.

 

[fitz_bu47]

Head Coach-Jesus
O.C.-Lou Holtz
D.C.-Knute Rockne
Fill out the staff w/ Mike Ditka, Bill Belichek, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Tony Dungy, and Bill Parcells.
That's the plan, do it.
CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!

None of these guys will screw it all up like B-Kelly.

No I'm doing just fine. Life would be a little better if ND had pulled out a couple wins but W's will come with Coach Kelly at the helm.

Sure Gus Malwhatever will be a solid coach somewhere in the future but right now your pulling a couple facts trying to make an argument (kinda like how you quoted one part of what I said to you in order to continue to argue with me about how you should fall or jump head first into a deep hole).

Other posters have shown you statistics, your just making waves because you have nothing to do. I'm going back to work.

Virgin.

 

[SBjandy7]

Utah State had them beat, AT Auburn. Utah State. Utah. State.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

LOL. Is that the best you've got?

Really? Do you even know what you sound like right now. You are talking completely out of your *** and making no sense. Offense is clearly not this teams problem, its turnovers. You keep flipping from o"ur" to "your" and "we" to "you" and all points in between. Someone calls you out on your post and you immediately resort to name calling? All signs indicate that you are a 16 year old biy who buys all the new Old Spice deoderant because they have cool commericals and you wear your hair like Justin Bieber. I bet you like Uconn basketball as well right? And Oregon has the best uniforms?


What the **** does the age difference between Malzahn and Spurrier have to do with anything? Should we just go after every flavor of the week coach that has some success. Do you know anything about ND's culture and history? You are clearly not an ND fan by any stretch of the imagination so please don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Gus Malzahn recovered that on side kick, don't you remember?

I posted this separately in another thread but wanted to start a separate thread because I think this is the ticket to return to our winning ways.

I'm new here, but I've been studying the system of Gus Malzahn, currently the offensive coordinator at Auburn.

Auburn is really pitiful this year, yet they've been able to win with a pathetic defense thanks to Malzahn's high powered offensive schemes.

You look back at this guy's record, and everywhere he goes - Arkansas, then Tulsa, and now Auburn - he's added close to 20 points a game on average from their point totals before his arrival. The SEC is one of the toughest, if not the toughest conference in the country, and his system is giving those defenses fits. That translates to a lot of wins. Scoring is a huge part of the game. The other part is defense and Notre Dame can attract a top defensive coordinator. There's no doubt about it.

We need to hire Gus Malzahn and set him up with a good defensive coordinator and our championship days will be back.

Somebody just needs to look at this guys record and see the obvious truth - that he is an offensive genius and his system will work anywhere.

[SBjandy7]

Oh I forgot about that! Must be the special teams coach too, and key member on the Hands Team. Also, if you check the film, Malzahn threw that 99 yard pass to Welker last night, not Tom Brady

 

[NDinMemphis]

The reason Gus got hired at Arkansas is b/c he could deliver Mitch Mustain as he was his HS coach. I will agree he, up to this point, has proven to be an excellent OC. To say he will be a tremendous HC and a much improved one over BK is just pure speculation. As has been pointed out by several other posters in this thread and many others, BK has PROVEN at the HC level that he can win and win at a high level. Who's to say that Gus takes a HC job somewhere and his defense is Corwin/Tenuta bad? I guess the point is that no one knows, and frankly it doesn't matter until Gus becomes a HC (which he could have been btw this year, but he decided to remain an OC at Auburn).

 

[TheBigGipper]

Brian Kelly has 21 years of head coaching experience and a 73% win percentage. He brought GVS, CMU, and Cincinnati to the top of their respective conferences.

They weren't in very tough conferences. Let's be honest. But I'm still not saying the guy is a terrible coach. I'm just saying we can clearly do better.

Maybe you weren't paying attention, but we just recently fired a coach who was also touted as an offensive genius,

He didn't have Malzahn's record.

Jumping on the Malzahn train is just as stupid as claiming Golson should be starting.

No, it's not.

(1) Kelly and Weis are nothing alike, and this team looks much better all around than any team Charlie coached;

They may be alike in statistical wins if things don't change.

(2) we haven't gotten our "as$es beat" once yet, since we statistically dominated both USF and UM, only to lose to our own stupid mistakes;

A loss is loss. Then we beat our asses with our stupid mistakes. No one offers perfection, but you don't see major mistakes from Malzahn's offenses, the schemes of which are more complex than average.

and (3) calling for Kelly's job 15 games into his career is beyond ridiculous.

His hire was a mistake. It's not ridiculous to admit a mistake and move forward.

If Kelly can't bring the Irish back, we're done. Get on-board, or go route for another team.

That's just utter nonsense.

Utah State had them beat, AT Auburn. Utah State. Utah. State.

As I said - Auburn's defense is pathetic. And their offensive players aren't that good either. They should have lost that game. However they were able to score two quick touchdowns in the last 2 minutes to pull it out. Malzahn's schemes are based on speed and quick attacks.

If they didn't have Malzahn and those 20 extra points per game, Auburn would be 0-2 and would be in serious danger of a winless season.

With Malzahn they will manage a winning record. You add 20 points to Notre Dame's totals and we're 2-0.

 

[military_irish]

Are you kidding me? Malzahn had the national championship in 2 years. .

I am pretty sure Gene Chizik is the head coach of Auburn. I never head of an offense of coordinator being given the credit for a TEAM to win the national championship. You must have forgot too, they had a pretty good defense that kept them in games last year. The offense didn't win them all.

Notre Dame being 0-2 is stupid with our talent level.
