    Frankly, I don't think he deserves to see year 3 at this point. I didn't expect them to make a massive leap forward in year 2, but I expected SOME progress. This team looks just as bad, if not WORSE than last season. And it's entirely on the poor coaching from this staff. This is a complete...

    Mike Martin - General Manager

    Fully agree, particularly because ND seems to want to get another guy to focus on recruiting solely. Kenyatta Watson is the name that has been flung out, and I'm not sure they'll get him, but I imagine they'll pluck somebody of a similar level to Watson to fill that new spot. ND is finally...

    Deland McCullough - RB Coach (2022-2024)

    Can't say you can upgrade over DMC, but this dude is very much in DMC's league. Recruited both Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen and both became studs.

    Isn't this upcoming year his 5th season though?

    '25 IL DE Christopher Burgess (Notre Dame Signee)

    It's a typo. He's a 4-star, 66th overall player according to On3. Rivals has him at 36th overall and the 4th rated DL. And of course, ESPN is back in the corner eating glue and rating him outside of the top 200 and the 22nd best DL.

    '19 NJ DE RJ Oben (Duke Grad Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

    I had thought the same after the Georgia game, but he really didn't make much of an impact against Penn State or Ohio State. He had only one notable play in the NCG that I can recall, and it wasn't for good reasons.

    Chad Bowden to USC

    Well duh, he was the very best, like no one ever us. And now he has the trophy to prove it.

    IIRC, ND was willing to match the NIL offers that Deuce was getting. It was reported that Deuce didn't flip because ND wasn't willing to throw cash at him.

    Chad Bowden to USC

    Yep. This is what I'm not totally bought into what LAX posted. Yes, I think Bowden probably had some frustrations over his lack of control, but that was probably by design, because a first time GM probably shouldn't have that much control, nor should he not have to report to the head man...

    Chad Bowden to USC

    7 million? I like John, but there is no way it's anywhere near that low. Leonard alone made over a million in NIL deals. I can't imagine Mills, Cross, Watts and Kiser came back without some sort of substantial financial incentive. Morrison absolutely got a bag. Love and Price got a bag. Evans...

    They do, Caleb Davis is the recruiting director.

    He wouldn't start, but he'd definitely see the field. And let's be real, who, from any roster, would start over Carnell Tate, Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith. Maybe a very select few guys could sniff a shot, but that list could be counted on one hand.

    Chicago Bears address

    All things considered, this is, without question, the strongest head coaching hire this team has had since...probably Ditka. Wanny had 1 good year in Dallas, and rode Jimmy Johnson's coattails to success. The Cowboys actually improved after he left. Jauron never had anything better than an...

    '23 CA TE Cooper Flanagan (Notre Dame Signee)

    I think you need time to recover your athleticism. Raridon is probably going to be more athletic with more time removed from his knee injury. See Price. And if the injury is serious enough, I'm not sure we can rely on Flanagan to be a major contributor. Even a partial tear will take a few...

    It's hard to just start flinging it around when that hasn't really been part of your identity all season.

    Natty Postgame

    I don't blame anyone. Golden called a bad game. He did. Dude was also put in a very VERY compromising position, down what? 4-5 of your best players on defense against what has the be the most dangerous and hottest offense in CFB right now? Yeah, that ain't a great situation to be in. We look...

    We aren't here without Gray. He's also a big reason why ND loses this game.
