    Mike Martin - General Manager

    I'm just going to have to learn to shed the PTSD from previous years. Everytime I think the wheels are falling off, Freeman comes through on his hires. He's very methodical and doesn't panic with staff defection.

    ND Defensive Coordinator search- 2025

    This doesn't sound like a done deal yet. Sounds like maybe 2 other names being considered.

    Chad Bowden to USC

    Ever since he flirted with Michigan you really haven't heard recruits praising Bowden like he was previously. Also heard Freeman was getting frustrated with his lack of closing on recruits. Also hearing Lake Dawson and Amir Carlisle being considered for GM. This is coming from someone who has...

    Notre Dame Injury Report, Discussion and Updates

    I'm totally that guy as well. Even under Kelly I hardly ever felt like we were going to win that big game. Now, just like the Holt days, I'm a nervous wreck to the point of nauseous because I know we have a shot we can win everytime we step on the field. Love that feeling, love what Freeman has...

    '21 CA QB Tyler Buchner (ND FB -> Bama FB -> ND LAX???)

    Kid made a mistake, held himself accountable and refused to curl up in a corner and play the victim like a lot of the youth today. Took the money he made and pays his own way and walks on. He didn't buy expensive watches, cars and go bankrupt like some. High character kid you want in the locker...

    '22 NJ QB Steven Angeli (Notre Dame Signee)

    If we go to the portal then I believe the OC needs to come with the QB. That way he has a grasp of the offense already and can move forward quickly and focus only on building trust with current players. If Parker stays then Angeli is your best bet IMO. He knows the offense already, gets the ball...

    Al Golden

    Ok ok. I obviously was wrong on that part and don't follow the NFL as close as you lol. I do stand by my thoughts on he did leave that job for ND for a reason. What that is only he knows. I just don't think NFL is what he is looking for. If we do lose him I believe it would be more for college...

    Al Golden

    Maybe Golden found the job he wants at ND. He did leave the NFL for ND and left a Super Bowl team who hasn't been the same since he left. He doesn't have to be a great recruiter at ND. He just needs to set the table by informing Freeman and staff who he wants and needs, hands out the scholarship...

    Expectations

    Has Freeman made some inexcusable mistakes... yes. Did we expect some mistakes as a first time head coach... yes. We just didn't know what they would be and what they would look like. Here is why I'm on the Freeman train. He knows he made mistakes but here is why I think he will be one of the...

    '24 CA LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (Notre Dame Signee)

    That's a guy that doesn't get talked about near enough! Crable was just mean and one of the greats!

    Gerad Parker - Troy Head Coach :)

    I was like everyone else when the news came out it was Parker. I'm trying hard to spin this a different way. Maybe this guy is ready for the opportunity, who are we to judge. Just about everyone has had a bad experience and didn't perform well with a job in their lives. Lou, Saban and Carrol...

    Trust me I hope I'm wrong too! With Kelly's track record and being stubborn it makes sense. Last week at halftime I went out and mowed the lawn because i couldn't take it anymore. Cincinnati was a totally beatable team.

    Got some insider info on QB for Saturday night. Not sure I trust it yet but throwing it out there anyway. Dont be surprised to see #17 leading the offense. Dont be surprised to see Coan and only Coan Saturday. Hope it's not true but wanted to share this possibility.
