Never been more convinced during his tenure that I think Rees has a bright future in football it just won't be coaching QB's and calling plays for Notre Dame. I think Rees is an average recruiter at best. He's an average developer, at best, of an offensive system. But, I think that with...
The most Low-T thing Tommy could do was bring in a 2 QB class where one of them is virtually a walk-on and non-competitive. I've been clamoring for a 2 QB class for awhile now and that's the 2nd QB we get it, lol.
So, this is that idea/mindset that somehow Tommy has been blindsided by all...
No chance we get Simpson. Tommy will have to wait 1.5 years to offer and he'll have already transferred somewhere by then. But, Tommy gets a smiley face because Tommy tries hard.
Rees wants the ones that pass his quizzes and tests with the highest score. Physical ability is comes second. They get the smiley face and no competition for their spot.
I think you have to hope that Pyne can run a quick passing game, circa 2018 Ian Book. Which keeps the defense on their heels enough to slightly improve the ground game. For as much as Buch "shortened" his release and blew up his mechanics in the name of having a "quicker" release, he was ass...
My biggest gripe in all of this is this. Tommy seems consistently blindsided by things that are seemingly obvious once the games start. We obviously can't see much of Spring and Fall Camp, even less so now than before, but how in the world is this guy so clearly not able to discern the...
A huge part of coaching is the mental aspect or mental preparedness. Getting your players mentally prepared to compete.
But, to the specific point about technique/performance, they literally talked all spring and fall camp about how much different the coaching has been and folks were getting...
Elston has this same exact line playing much better football. Coaching matters and as much as we wanted to believe our rockstar recruiters were equal or better coaches, they are clearly not.
I’m going to be brutally honest here, both good and bad. The below is a thing of beauty. That is a sweet, sweet stroke and powerful. Enough power to drive the ball wherever it needs to go. And plenty quick. This was a remarkable athlete with the arm to back it up...
Marcus Freeman took over an 11-1 football that had the longest active winning streak against unranked opponents. He has the same OC as the last HC. In 3 games, he’s 0-3 and now ND is out of the top 25 for the first time since 2017.
I need more than some hip Twitter vids and hype speeches...
I’ll wait to go over the top with judgement but I keep thinking about this fact. A Tommy Rees recruited QB, out of HS, has never started and won a game at ND, in what is his 6th season coaching here. Not a single game.
So, just getting the game on as we’re selling our house and had our first showing for 12pm. Did they not know Notre Dame was on at 11:30am, lol.
Haha, Rees’s offense with a goose egg through the first quarter. Why am I not surprised.
