[GATTACA!]

Any update on upgrading the facilities?

After the Buchner debacle they're removing all staircases.

They’re being built right now lol

Ladders instead?

Ladders instead?

 

[Irish#1]

Merck did @brick4956 ever PIIHB?

POY quality

 

[Irish#1]

Opinions can, and do, vary.

Much like ones mileage.

 

[IrishFanForever23]

I’m guessing Loy after the Freeling recruitment

Remind me again of what happened there.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Does the staff have any beef with other coaching staffs/universities? We all know how much Pat Narduzzi adores ND…

 

[Giddyup]

I don’t think ND cares enough about Narduzzi to hold a grudge.

PSU, Pittsburgh, GT, Virginia

Virginia? GT?

 

[calvegas04]

They’ve been under construction for some time now.

Is there something specific you would like to know?

No just haven't been following the progress, wasn't aware they started already. Thanks

 

[NDPhilly]

GT injured their quarterback by keeping him in for a garbage time TD, one of the more idiotic things i've seen a coach do.

 

[rikkitikki08]

If I’ve missed any questions, feel free to drop me a message, or remind me in-thread.

How serious were talks with Jim Knowles after ND knew Golden was taking the bengals job?

 

[allenm5333]

Marcus wasn’t keen on how their coaching staff’s conducted themselves during the games.

That why they ran the ST fakes?

 

[KPENN]

SIAP, but Is Mickens 100% in the fold for next year?

Also, are things as good as behind the scenes as they seem on tv with regards to team chemistry/culture?

 

[Bane]

PSU, Pittsburgh, GT, Virginia

Not Indiana?

 

[PNW Irishman]

Do you know if the silent loy posted after junior day was Merrill or do we have another one that hasn’t announced yet?

 

[AKRowdy]

If I’ve missed any questions, feel free to drop me a message, or remind me in-thread.

How close was the staff to benching Riley early in the season and rolling with Angeli? Also, was Love’s injury worse than they were letting on during the playoffs?

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

They’ve been under construction for some time now.

Is there something specific you would like to know?

How much help will they be for the team in 2025? Is completion estimated for fall 2026?

 

[rtrn2glory]

I hate to keep prying ya with questions but why does the staff not do a coaches clinic anymore? I used to love the set up of the ND clinic and preferred it over and other I've ever been to

 

[Bane]

No. ND/Freeman/staff were more amused by Indiana than annoyed with them.

That's even better.

 

[TorontoGold]

Everyone has been told Mickens will be back, yes.

Yes, the team is very close. There’s only a handful of players that aren’t particularly team-first.

When Mickey left the team, what was the panic level like? Has there been any other players that have had to be convinced not to do it?

Also, when Freeman had that alumni dinner and said “We got our guy of the future” was that a Dante Moore or CJ Carr reference.

The second question: pretty sure that was Moore

I motion to change the thread title to “Merckxe525 AMA”

 

[Irish2155]

Does Pat Coogan drop F-bombs at mass?

 

[Dale]

Hey an FYI, can we keep the IE stuff off of 247? There really is a lot of brutal posters on 247 and if people start referencing IE, the pay sites will spank the mods

Cool thread, I don't have any questions I can think of, but good questions and answers from everyone. I'm just excited to see Carr in April.

Just saw this too. Nobody wants those guys coming here. The banned thread will go through the roof.

Yeah I was just trying to reply to someone, did it wrong of course, and couldn't get it deleted from my phone for some reason. My bad!

 

[GoldenBoy3]

Do you believe the defense takes a major step back after losing Golden, Cross, Mills, Kizer and Watts?

Lastly, who would’ve been the coach had ND not given Freeman the nod?
