Ah true, I forgot it was after the transfers.
Or someone leaves on their own.
The thing is, if Hartman didn’t like Klein for whatever reason, and Reese was at that same time trying to woo Hartman to Alabama, you could see how they choose Hartman over Klein.
Name the last coordinator demoted who stayed on as a position coach? Highly unlikely Parker would stay, if demoted.
Scott booker
I say start the Hart but bring Angeli on from the second series.
Scott Booker coached TE's and to a lesser extent, st in his stint at ND from 2012-2016.
Booker definitely wasn't good given the talent he was working with, he was subpar. He was crap compared to Bernie Parmalee. Booker never coached a very successful TE that didn't first get coached by Bernie and all of the Booker proteges failed to live up to their recruiting. Even Eifert spent a year under Bernie's tutelage, he was the last TE Parmalee coached before Booker took over. Booker then had Koyack, Niklas, Smythe, Luatua, Weishar, and Mack, and none of those guys really reached their potential or the big yards that the Bernie guys saw. It wasn't till Booker was gone and Chip Long/McNulty/Parker took over TEs that we saw the position really thrive again with Kmet, Mayer, and Mitch before he got injured.
He got injured in camp, then when he finally got healthy he came in for part of a game and then started another before picking up THREE different injuries that benched him again. He took a shit ton of sacks too, that OL was bad.
Interestingly, Fickell had named Gino his passing game coordinator AND his TE coach. No idea what the move would be to be honest. Found that interesting though.

But yeah, he didn't really light the world on fire. Played decent against USC, but we know what that defense is like.

Problem solved! Gino takes over TEs, Parker can leave to let the new OC take over.
Both Buchner and Hartman are gone now... And if he brings his own QB, maybe the problem takes care of itself.
The un-doing wouldn’t be with the QB’s but the HC that decided not to hire him because his QB’s didn’t want him. Have to remember, Klein is a legend in Manhattan. He may feel a certain way about leaving that for a HC that handled matters as such.
If he was willing to leave last year (his legend status being the same then as it is now), I'm sure he'd be willing to leave now. More money. Bigger stage. Chance to legitimately compete for a national championship. I'm sure these things and MF explaining the unique dynamic that existed with Hartman this time last year would be enough to entice him.
Yes, Sampson quickly corrected Prister as Pratt is a FL kid who has only played in the south and plenty of other teams would be interested in him. Prister seems to have tunnel vision in assuming Pratt would automatically be interested in ND. There’s only so much NIL money and they’ll likely need some to keep some of the veterans from declaring for draft so my guess is that while a transfer QB could be compensated well, he better want to be at ND too b/c there will be higher bidders.
They did note his completion percentage was almost 70% but it was against weak competition. I think he has a noticeably better arm than Hartman but I haven’t watched enough of him to gauge his accuracy
