He doesn't have the mobility of Book, but Book wouldn't throw anything longer than about 15 yards unless he was forced to like in the VT game. He also had an aversion to going through his progressions when his primary was covered. He'd just pull it down and run. Lately Coan has also shown the ability to throw the ball away, so I see him growing in that area. He did scramble against GT, but overall he has been too stationary for most of the season. Both had their faults, but there were way more positives than negatives for both, which is basically what I'm saying.

Agree with all this. Both are maddening and if you fused the two together you'd have a heisman caliber QB lol

Am I crazy?

But should we maybe ask Coan to come back for a COVID year? Next year, our O Line is going to be really good.

Combine him and TB with all the weapons on O we'll have?

He will know the system... hes got balls. Don't we want him again?

He's out of eligibility. But yes, you're crazy. Coan isn't beating OSU or Clemson.

How? He played 2018, 2019 and 2021. Redshirted 2017 and 2020 doesn’t count. You get 5 years (6 counting 2020) to play 4

RS rule didn't come into effect until 2018-19. Therefore, he did not red-shirt in 2017. He played 3 games thus burning his 1st year of eligibility.

Cade McNamara just beat OSU. You like him more than Coan?
I want to see what Buchner has. Only way he develops is with full #1 practice reps and live rounds. Coan is a nice QB if we wanna MAYBE make the playoff, but we aren't winning it all with him most years. This year was the exception in terms of it being "wide open" (but of course there's Georgia).

Skillset-wise, Buchner offers a better chance to beat an elite Georgia, Bama, Clemson, OSU. It's the classic high floor vs. high ceiling. We've seen how high Coan's floor is. It's nice -- minimum of a "NY6" game, in the convo for a CFP berth. Now I wanna see how high Buchner's ceiling is and really take a step up and join the ranks of the CFB elite.

Guess we should have not even taken Coan and sacrificed this whole season for Buchners development. WhAt wAs KeLlY ThInKiNg?!?

Show me where I said anything about not taking Coan this season. I'll wait.

But I guess it's more likely you'll just continue to project your own narrative like the turd you are...

Lol struck a nerve here I see. A real mature one too

So I ask this - how does the above happen AND Coan is here taking most of #1 reps to, as you say, maybe make playoffs.

I'll hang up and listen.

If you actually consider, ya know, the CONTEXT of the conversation, you would see that we were discussing Coan's eligibility NEXT SEASON. But again, you're too busy driving your own narrative.

Your shit is old. Folks can be fans AND have opinions (yes, even ones that don't align with yours). Get bent.

Not near as old as the unreasonable complaining about this team and the coaching staff.

And no the response was to you saying Coan couldn't beat OSU and me saying Cade McNamara just did and if u liked Coan/Cade better.

So I think ur the one driving a narrative by changing what u wanted the context of conversation to be.

You injected yourself into a conversation that was explicitly about whether or not the OP would be crazy to want Coan back next year. My reasoning for not wanting him back, besides the fact that he's ineligible, is that I do not believe he has the skill-set required to beat OSU and/or Clemson. You decided to offer the scarecrow argument that McNamara beat OSU therefore I must prefer him over Coan. It's not even remotely apples to apples. Michigan beat them with 300 yd and 5 touchdowns on the ground. Do you really believe in your heart of hearts that Notre Dame's offensive line is capable of that against either OSU or Clemson?

So just stop. You're making yourself look like a real dumb dumb...

Another mature insult.

Interesting, is the bolded not off context? Seems like moving goal posts to fit your narrative, no?

Coan isn't beating OSU or Clemson.

This is a very direct statement issued as a fact. To which I replied
Cade McNamara just beat OSU. You like him more than Coan?
​​​​​​Which of note, I still haven't got an answer, and you went on about Buchner getting reps. Neither of which are on topic to if Coan is better or as capable as Cade McNamara.

Your new goalposts bring up the manner in which Michigan succeeded in doing it. This was clearly not considered in your original comment of Coan being able to beat OSU. So am I the "dumb dumb" for not considering there's a way to beat the teams you mentioned with a less than elite QB or are you?

And whether I
..believe in your heart of hearts that Notre Dame's offensive line is capable of that...
doesn't really matter because A) it wasn't part of the original context B) you didn't consider it yourself.

Just for the record, I do agree that Buchner's skill set better equips ND for matchups vs the elite and I don't think our offense is capable of the rushing performance Michigan put on OSU THIS YEAR.

But again these things aren't related to your statement re: Coans ability vs Cade's ability to beat a team you are using as a benchmark.

With Clark being an unknown going into the season after coming off injury, and 5 Star Philure leaving a few years back, Coan was needed this year for sure. I didn't like it at first, especially behind the struggling OL, but it somehow really worked well after the Bye. I probably would have still rather had Pyne and Buckner sharing reps at the start, but it is what it is. It was never supposed to be an 11-1 season, credit both Rees and Freeman for improving each squad as the season went on.

Wouldn't be against another QB transfer. It's incredibly important that Freeman's momentum isn't killed by poor QB play. Buchner is a giant wild card right now.

I was under the assumption Book left on his own volition but had the opportunity to come back.

yea i'm just saying if we managed without him we'll be fine without Jack Coan...no offense to the kid he's been great

i hope buchner can be a pocket passer, cause we all know what he can do running the ball.

is it because he was out with an injury during the covid year of 2020?

I believe that is correct. If so, it’s a bullshit rule as he was still on the team. That begin said, I think it’s time for him to move on to the next phase of his life. I thank him for all he’s done in a short period of time. Solid individual as a person & a player.

I agree. I think we take the leap of faith with Tyler. If Ian came back this year, there is no doubt in my mind that we are 12-0. His mobility and understanding of the offense would have been able to manage the growing OL earlier this year.
