But Swarbrick wouldn't have hired Gino. Gino is 100% connected to MF. If Gino is hired, that is 100% on MF.

Again, my point is that it was shitty then too. But one coach had a long, successful resume that at least deserved a wait and see approach. MF hiring his buddies shouldn't really receive the same grace. Burnt Ends did go 8-5 in his first year. He also inherited a Pinto of a program. MF is...

Exactly. That's my point. But at least Burnt Ends deserved a little benefit of the doubt, due to the fact that he had been a successful head coach for 20 years. MF has coached 14 games and is 9-5.

Absolutely! Looks like The Driskell's theory may be coming true. MF just gonna hire dudes he knows and hope it works out. Burnt Ends at least had about 20 years experience as not only a head coach, but mostly winning and successful years. MF went 9-4 and lost to Marshall and Stanford. He...

If MF hires Gino and promotes Parker, this is like goddamn Burnt Ends sticking with Paul Longo and bringing in his buddy Van Gorder. I doubt MF will hire an OL coach to be the OC. So my prediction is either Parker as OC or Parker and Gino get co-coordinator title, or ____ game coordinator...

Can’t wait for the Star Trek and Dungeons and Dragons comparisons to commence

2 people on this board not only understand F1, but enough so that they're posting analogies on it. That's my biggest WTF in this thread.

It is. If it’s in the first 2 weeks of October, could go elk hunting out there too. I know most on this board prefer to go hog hunting instead though. Rack ‘Em could just bring his Mom for those fellas.

I’m against hiring him simply for the fact of pronouncing his name.

Yep. And he's originally from Utah. And LDS, I believe. He's probably got a great thing going and a pretty sweet life there. But I also think it's a pretty big assumption that he didn't want the job. Actions indicate he was at least interested. Nobody is flying to South Bend, IN for a...

Freeman may change sooner rather than later. Or not. I have little doubt that the media is spinning this story with Ludwig in perhaps a more negative light than it needs to be, in order to "show" MF that he needs them. They're petty enough to use this as an example of, "if you don't need us...

Just guessing, but he and his players already live somewhat in the limelight, so why enhance that? As a husband and father, his ultimate responsibilities lie with them, and acting in what is best for them. As a coach, his professional responsibilities lie with his players, and acting in a...

Maybe. The story reads a lot different if somebody tries to tell a prospective new employer that their buyout is 10k, then when the verbals are given and it's time to sign the deal, the prospective employer learns the actual buyout is 7 or 8 times higher...and he has to bring along another...

Is he 5' 8" also?

I'm not big on hiring an OL coach to double as OC. Too many players and positions on the fieldd for him to be responsible for while also running and calling the entire offense. Yeah, yeah, I know they can bring in a GA to be the de facto coach of the OL, but I think the OL is too important to...

Ludwig provided the contract to ND. It's the only way they could have looked it over. It is entirely possible Ludwig pulled an O'Leary and didn't realize he needed to update what he gave them, or didn't even really know what he was giving them (forgetting/not realizing his contract rolled...

Wouldn't Ludwig himself probably offer the contract for inspection? I mean it's not like you can just go online and download his contract.

Im taking to Yelp and giving the ND cafeteria a 1-star review

Looks around...looks around....ACamp raises his hand.

I tend to agree here. This could be the price MF pays for "sealing the leaks." Nobody knows anything, so they run with whatever. Could also be some comeuppance by the media toward MF. "Dude, if you're not gonna give us access, we're going to run with these stories. Even when they make you...
