    '09 IN OT Zack Martin (Notre Dame Man)

    I don't think its hyperbole to say he is the best Notre Dame football player by far this millennium. (Q is the only one that has a shot to catch him, but likely needs a few more all pro years to have HOF chance) NFL all decade team for the 2010's Voted First Team All Pro as a rookie guard in...

    '20 IL SDE Rylie Mills (Notre Dame Signee)

    This will certainly not help Rylie's draft prospects. Loaded class for DT's and he's already got the injury and being older working against him.

    '20 IL SDE Rylie Mills (Notre Dame Signee)

    Have to assume being 24 before the next NFL season begins doesn't help. You look at someone like Walter Nolen and the kid will be 21 for half the NFL season next year. Age is a huge factor when franchises are thinking about high draft picks (first three rounds), and if that player will be...

    2024-2025 ND Basketball Thread

    Tomorrow starts the biggest two week stretch in coach shrews tenure thus far in my opinion. Boys should be 13-11 at minimum going into the big (3) game homestand Louisville - SMU - Pitt Any chance at a tournament bid is likely long gone, but it would be encouraging for Shrews to show his...

    ND Defensive Coordinator search- 2025

    For what its worth, I think Miami fans would use a lot of words to summarize Al's time in Coral Gables and I'd bet a lot of money it would take a long time to find one that would use the word "success"

    ND Defensive Coordinator search- 2025

    Anybody have any credible data or information on how he is as a recruiter?

    ND Defensive Coordinator search- 2025

    Nope. Got fired ( not retained) by Pierce in Las Vegas. He’s been unemployed for a little over a year.

    ND Defensive Coordinator search- 2025

    As a lifetime PA native ND fan to go from embarrassing PSU in the second half, and ruining their season…..and since then they have had a bunch of important players pledge their return, and picked up the best defensive coordinator in the country…and we lost our best chance at a national title in...

    Yeah, I started going through the game logs on ESPN as well. I was wrong to assume this was an outlier. A lot of great performances lately by QB’s in title games. I guess I went for the hyperbole, because I had to watch Howard do it to us for four hours last night.

    Haha. Fair point. I guess I should have prefaced it by saying, best performance in an actual competitive game where there was actual game pressure on the QB. Bennet was playing pitch and catch out there vs TCU.

    Jan 20 | National Championship

    Completely a fair take, but the kid went out there and did it. He didn’t make one wrong play all night and the grading / rating systems back that up. I have to imagine there has never been a 99 QBR and 204 QB rating before by a QB in the national championship game. That is outstanding football.

    Jan 20 | National Championship

    Honestly, as I wake up this morning completely devestated…I at least can feel okay knowing we got beat by an almost perfect performance by Will Howard. 99.1 QBR 204.8 QB rating Carried the ball 16 times, and had more rushing yards then our entire time while converting back breaking third downs...

    Jan 20 | National Championship

    Respectfully, I disagree. I have the evidence of his worst performance of the year on my side. Ohio state and Chip were fantastic no doubt, but Golden was terrible when it mattered most this evening. When we can all take a step back, and go back to watch and dissect the tape. I believe you...

    I’m just incredibly frustrated that is how his coaching tenure at ND will likely end. He was so much better than that. I hate that the coaching cycle leads to guys taking jobs before big games in both the NFL and college. Just frustrated man, again I appreciate what he did for the university...

    I’ll preface this by saying I have great respect for Al Golden and what he did for the University. I’ve said that numerous times this thread. However, I can’t not look at his performance tonight, and see the immediate reports that he is the likely new DC in Cincinnati, and not think his mind was...

    Jan 20 | National Championship

    Yes, I will question Al Golden doing exactly what Ohio State wanted him to do on that third and eleven, since they ran a go route with the the best player in college football and it was obvious Howard only had eyes for Smith on that play. There was literally not a single way to call that third...

    Jan 20 | National Championship

    …again I hate acting like this because Golden has been a great servant to our university. This has been a terrible performance by him though, and man it’s going to leave a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of time I hear his name on Sundays. Just sucks

    The gifted us a chance to get a third down stop by running two terrible plays on first and second down to give us a third and eleven…then we decide to blitz and leave Smith on an island with Gray. SO FUCKING TERRIBLE!

    Another terrible third down call by Golden on third and eleven. He was off all day. One foot out the door for Cincinnati Terrible

    Would have loved to seen him get the ball on a run or a screen instead of Harrison on that first down play call. Ohio state defense to fast for that type of play to work.
