Sampson hearing this is done and the announcement will be one to watch

Does anyone else remember the period when fans wanted HH gone?

He's the best recruiter on the staff now, has the perfect niche for Oline recruiting! Coach Lyght will be the next one in my opinion, let him get adjusted and a year or so in the system and I think he is going to kill it

 

[NDdomer2]

Whatever you wanna call it, every kid we offer is an RKG then if you look at it that way. I'm just saying two people have told me Parker is different and it's what ND needs. I'm all for it, I'm just saying he's different then Steve Elmer

I was just messing with ya bro. Teams need different personalities, scientific fact (maybe not science but def. true). If he brings a lil "fuck you" to the table, all the better.

I remember Tenn. being happy they got rid of him, and ND fans questioning the hire, but never wanting him gone after that.

For a while I did, yes he can recruit but the on the field results have to come this year. O line is loaded and if we struggle like we have in past games I might call for his head. But if we play like we did against LSU I am all for Heistand for Prez

Damn bro. I really think the offensive line has played well the last two years.

way too inconsistent last year but a lot of that had to do with re shuffling and injuries. Down the stretch we played much better and I believe that will continue moving into the 2015 season.

You know, I will too ....BUT what the Irish did in Nashville to LSU can't be "figured out". That was a simple display of we are better than you with a real decided schematic advantage sprinkled on top.

If there wasn't so much fun to be had in recruiting, I'd wish for a time machine to drop me in J lot for theTexas game's tailgate.

didn't HH serve as VP under LBJ?

I agree with everything you said, just forgot to add it into my post earlier

Great minds think alike.

In 2012 the dominant OL was the primary reason why the offense worked. In 2013, the OL was #2 in the entire country in pass protection despite having a statue in Tommy Rees behind center.

Last year, the OL was worse than both those years, which is understandable given the new players, position changes, and injuries.

So glad you put this up because in 2012 it was easy to see how good ND's OL was and in the last game you saw the other great line in the country. (Pretty sure A&M was great too)

I have this growing anticipation that this years line is going to be one to remember and I'm not really worried if they have one injury.

[GBdomer]

Pass blocking has always been a strength wit Heistand no denying that, but the running game remains to be scene. We need to commit to the run and lean on it this year. Nothing nobody already knows, their is a reason Heistand recruits the guys he does. This is finally his O line

Being somewhat of a UT fan with season tix (one that wears his ND hat with an orange shirt, or vice versa depending on game times), I can tell you a lot of people were not happy to see HH go. When he jumped to ND, I took a lot of shit.

We won't struggle this year, and 12 and 13 we're great performances IMHO. The only mixed bag was last year and there are many reasons/excuses that could be used. Like you said, once it all came together after musical chairs, we dominated LSU. I think we'll see another level of nastiness with MZ standing behind these guys. Also, can't argue with draft picks.

Really? I live in East Tennessee and people thought he was terrible and a worse recruiter. I blame that on how bad things were under Dooley. Everyone I know was glad he left.

Everyone I know chalked it up to Dooley. There was some intense dislike for that guy in the RV crowd I hung with. Doesn't come close to the intense hatred for Lame Kitten, but dislike nonetheless. My UT world is pretty limited to my buddy here in ATL (65 year old UT alum from the Tri-City area), a little blonde from Knoxville who use to, and the RV crowd we've hung out with over the years.

Do you go to any UT games?

 

[Irish Man3]

I live in Knoxville and when HH came to ND, many were thankful. I guess it just depends on what crowd you run with.

As for Parker, I said months ago that if we were to land 3 of Kramer, Liam, Bredson, and Bordeaux that I'd consider this cycle a home run on the front line. That's not changed IMO. This will shake out as a great OL class. Staff can now sit back and swing for the fences or simply move on to next year if nothing pans out. That's a great spot to be in considering it's June.

Are they still feeling the same way?

I don't think many pay attention. Lane Kiffin is really the only former coach talked about.

This will be a great pickup if the CB's come true.

As long as he comes in and teaches his nasty . . .

Yup...I'm all for NASTY!

I'd say that 2011 was our only year where we really had a dominant run game in the Kelly era IMO, and that was with Warriner coaching. While we actually had a higher YPC in 2012, I personally think that has a lot to do with Golson adding another dimension to the offense. Even the 2012 offense had very little luck converting on 3rd and short or goal line situations on the ground. The effectiveness in pass blocking in 2012 and 2013 was incredible, but the run blocking hasn't shown up yet.

While I can't predict whether or not Malik will put up raw numbers of yards as Golson, I do predict that the offense will be much better more efficient in short yardage situations and at the goal line due to how much of a true dual threat he is.

Agree to an extent, but I think we were very predictable and limited those years where we didn't do well in short yardage situations. Definitely always better in passing game, but now I think HH has his guys now, a wider playbook, and a spunkier QB.

Predictable in 2012 because you had Golson who wasn't terribly efficient through the air due to accuracy issues and being unable to see over the middle of the field. Everyone in the stadium knew we were going to try to run power on 3rd and short, and despite having some major talent on the O-line they weren't able to convert reliably.

I hate to compare very different programs but Wisconsin and Bama are reliably able to do that every year. Something we were able to do with Zaire against LSU. If you can't reliably pick up 3rd and short and score touchdowns in the red zone, you have slim chances of being a playoff contender.
