Between this and the Spell thread I'm glad to see the board is still weird as hell when kids don't pick their favorite school (or even just reportedly consider a different school).

Do you ever follow his posts?

The way bidding wars go these days, if I was going to ND there's no way I would tell any reporter that. ND would always be about to lose me to the money schools.

Rat poison

Correct. People forget 2020 but it was pretty darn nice to not be beholden to the B1G that year as well. Also take a look at USC and Michigan being publicly pressured to enter into a private equity deal they don't want to anything to do with. Flexibility is worth a lot when shit hits the fan...

Since TV networks are the real decision makers in the sport, you would have to think NBC would be pushing for this as well. Their Saturday night games are often terrible. Adding ND as a potential night time visiting opponent for teams like Minnesota would probably juice their numbers.

Bevaqua is going to earn all my good graces if he can solve the scheduling problem. It's the football program's missing infinity stone from my perspective.

This would be a great outcome.

Freeman: "Do you have any idea the physical toll that 3 LB coaches can have on a person!?"

I know MSU is his alma mater but wonder if Bullough would be interested in doing the snip-snap if he got the Co-DC title

Would have to think Nick would come home to the alma mater if we're giving him the chance. Hell I know Clark Lea would. Nobody keeps contact with Sampson like that if he doesnt think he might be in South Bend again someday.

Have to think the room is going to be extemely attractive.

It's weird that the HCs of my two teams are basically fun house mirrors of each other in superficial ways.

I think we murder them as a statement thing. More worried about dropping the intensity and getting into a closer game than needed in the following weeks.

I'm down for a fight for the position in 3 years between NFL DC Mickens and NFL DC O'Leary.

I can try, but I'll need someone to give me three different plays and I'll pick one I think is best.

Weird that for him being a co-DC and apparently highly thought of, I can't find any discussion about the potential move on the Oklahoma board.

I guess I blame the hiring process more than the selection there. He had good people on his radar but internal contract bullshit and an opinionated QB room made things difficult. Maybe that will play out again but Freeman and ND both seem to be a lot savvier about this stuff now.

I can understand people being skittish with Ash's disastrous first impression but Freeman's hiring has been largely phenomenal. I'm probably forgetting someone but Stuckey is really the only person I can immediately think of that's a certified bad hire with hindsight. Have to trust he has...
