How doesn’t it? It should be every question next Monday worded in a different way each time. Also combined with how you’ve turned top acc all time passer into someone that should be benched now.
Should =/ will. I don't expect any changes although they should happen now (should have happened after 1st BYE). There is so much value in beying 1st in line for OC openings, but I don't have any reason to believe ND cares enough to nudge Freeman, and I don't think MF has the smarts or confidence to do it.

Again if not changed with MF opening statement, every single question Monday the 13th should be on the offense and how it’s prepared, what they want to do, and what they’re calling, and why every aspect of it is failing especially on the road

Do you listen to the interview questions? They're all access, ass grabbers. There will be no tougher question beyond "what can you do differently coming out of BYE to kick start the offense" and MF will say "it comes down to execution".

I give it 15% chance Parker is fired or demoted (would gladly take either).

Irish illustrated has been pretty tough after the game but yea Tim and others don’t ask tough questions. I don’t expect there to be tough questions but EVERY single question for 30 minutes should be on the offense

Simple questions on

Why faison isn’t playing more when he’s only wr that can get open and he keeps making plays

Tobias lack of effort

Lack of pa to help wrs when every team sells out to stop run

Lack of first down throws

Not targeting any other of your large athletic tes while wrs are struggling

Defenses having an easy time keying on nd offensive tendencies

Why No in game adjustments on offense

Why are your rbs not playing together more when they’re your most talented players

Your frosh wrs can’t beat man outside yet you keep trying

Who is responsible for preparing the entire offense during the week?

Who is calling plays moving forward since it’s currently clearly not working

You have 7 losses in your first 22 regular season games, there was 6 total in the 5 seasons leading into you taking over. What needs to change?

We hope that's true and one would think so...

But, if Parker is doing basically what Freeman wants, then replacing the OC doesn't necessarily mean the fundamental problems go away.
Freeman has no clue on offense, what he wants is “balance and ability to run it” he has no clue how to develop prepare or call that. It’s Parker leading the charge

I'm kinda surprised the team chose Freeman and they come out a bit flat in some of these games for him. You'd think their pride and love would push them to execute.
You would but more times than not I suspect it doesn’t work out that way. I know it’s a new era for kids these days but Saban, Smart, & Harbaugh don’t have any trouble attracting the best players. Freeman seems like the perfect modern day HC but we only see the surface stuff. What’s going on when it’s just him & his staff or him & his players? Something is missing and it may just be lack of HC experience. Something most ND fans had to acknowledge before wanting him to be BK’s replacement.

Does anyone actualy expect Parker to be fired/demoted before Wake? I don't think it happens.
Not only do I not think he’ll be demoted before Wake, I fully expect him to be the OC when we open @ A&M next year.

I’ve seen some act as if ND was getting blown out at halftime as the reason for abandoning Estime. WTF?! The game was far from over, yet Estime on got 3 carries in the 2H. One of those was the short TD run after X Watts pick. WTH does Freeman state he wants an offense that is physical and run first when they abandon the run at first sign of distress? That’s something the previous regime did on the regular & it drove me nuts. Find an identity & stick to it…don’t use slogans that are easily abandoned when things don’t go your way.

If that's the case, MF is def not a good leader and hopefully they lose and lose often...he gets canned, and we can get a coach that makes good decisions ASAP.

If I'm Golden, keeping Parker would force my hand as well. I'd be out, he did everything he could to give the offense a chance to win. How frustrating that may have been to. Shit, if he was at LSU this year, he wins a title.

Click for pass blocking grades. IOL: woof.


Did Alt struggle worse than Fisher? Obviously the IOL all struggled, but Fisher was having a hard time with that DE. I missed the 1st half for a PeeWee tournament.

Faison should be on the field 80%
Of the time going forward and should be getting all punts

Still trying to understand why Hartman sets up 2 yards behind OL for passes, rendering self induced pressure immediately. And moreso how Porker is cool with that.
