This is virtually impossible with Meyer departing, though I get what you're saying. There is plenty of promising, young talent in the group, hopefully they can each find a niche and contribute. Mitchell Evans showed some promise in the Gator Bowl. Hopefully Raridon can stay healthy and get some playing time, he could have a really nice career here.
Well, other than opposing defenses.

From what I've read, he wouldn't be able to transfer until after the spring semester, which IMO, would be incredibly difficult to take over a starting job after spring practice. Especially at a place that has the high expectations Bama does.
I don't have definitive knowledge but he's enrolled for spring semester and Alabama started classes a few weeks ago so it seems unlikely he could leave this spring. I think grad transfers have pretty wide latitude though, so maybe it's possible over the summer.
I definitely think he does. He's one of the best QB's in college football. Would be a "kill a two birds with one stone scenario" for Freeman. He wants to run a pro-style offense anyways, so it wouldn't hurt to have Hartman give his input during the hiring process. Keeps Hartman engaged, but can let Freeman make the final hiring decision.
Also I think at this point in the cycle Freeman's best bet might be someone currently coaching QBs in the NFL. So confer with the guy who came here to become an NFL QB.
I think what is getting lost in all this is that when Hartman committed to ND, his commentary was that he could use the Notre Dame pedigree, notoriety, and roster to further increase his draft profile.
Yep. That's the worry. Because anything Hartman can do at Notre Dame, he can probably do even more of at Bama.
The backup is a run-first kid who is very adept at it. Not saying he can’t be a good passer b/c I don’t know his entire background and he hasn’t had the requisite reps but seems like they’d prefer someone more polished.
Give me someone on SF’s offensive staff. I absolutely love what they do with tight ends and their creativity running the ball. Would fit our personnel well.
Yeah. That’s the type offense I’ve been wanting for years at ND. Fits the profile of what we recruit the best. Not sure how QB friendly it is for young players.
Guaranteed? No. Odds on favorite? Yes.
Because he could just as easily be the starter at, say, Alabama?
They also have Ty Simpson a 4 star guy who we recruited. Probably a better all around prospect than the guy who played this year for the one game Young was hurt. They added 2 fairly highly rated guys on signing day. So their QB room is well stocked but very inexperienced. Hartman might be attractive to them but the didn't make a run on him in Dec so they probably won't in May unless Tommy pounds the table and Saban says OK.
