I would of been happy with Mullen, he tends to make mediocre QB's excel in his offense and he knows how to play to their strengths.

Am I the only one that didn't want Mullen or Schiano?

Didn’t want Schiano but would have been down for Mullen. Schiano would never be considered by ND given his history. My sad face was as someone slightly a fan of Tennessee, as this was an atrocious hire.

Why would Frost turn down his alma mater to go to ND? Also, I suspect Norvell will be headed to ASU.

Chip Kelly picking UCLA over UF is not a good sign for the Gators. They're going to panic and pick Frost and if Frost spurns them then the perception is they are 2nd tier program. They may not be good again for a while.


Crazy talk

With the alumni support, beauty of the campus, location, and natural recruiting base. Charlie Weis could get hired and win 8-10 games a year in Gainesville.

If we don't make a move this off-season, I hope FSU or Fisher does. That's a really attractive job and I don't want to compete with that opening next year. A lot of changes happening this year, if guess next year there are fewer big time openings, but who knows.

Norvell to Arkansas makes the most sense. He's from Dallas and played at Cent Ark. A&M could do worse too.

Been reading CFB news today and amid the firings I see Sparty people happy about a great run for them to go from 3-9 to 9-3 even though they know they played bad against ND and OSU. Meanwhile, we go frm 4-8 to 9-3 and knowing we played bad against Miami and Stanford and lost our starting QB to NFL and brought in new coordinators on both sides of the ball and so many people seem pissed. These other teams that fired their coaches did even worse than us and are grabbing coaches that were back on the merry go round.

I will see what Kelly and the new coaches can do with these guys and the new recruits in these extra bowl practices and the spring. And no I am not turning a blind eye to things that need improvement, but a retooling is a retooling, I never thought we would be in the playoff hunt to begin with.


PS ... I predicted 9-3 http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/notre-dame-football/321248-2017-record-prediction-thread.html#post1887891

what did you predict?

Go compare our recruiting rankings. 9-3 is good for MSU.

I figured that or ND is not MSU would be the response.

How many teams went from 4 wins one year to National Champs the next ... with a different QB and 2 new Coordinators?

Never mind focus on the negative and be miserable. SMDH

But then again, I do this for a living.

Blow the dust off this thread.

9-3 season.

Bowl game? Who knows.

Lets just win 4 games every other year, then when we win 9 the next season it will always look impressive.

You're only satisfied with this season if you compare it to last year's shitshow.

Sorry if already mentioned, but A&M makes it official: Sumlin's fired.

Perfect. Sumlin comes home after Brohms inevitable exit.

If Schiano doesn't happen at UTK and the Gruden thing is a unicorn (I haven't followed neither) Brohm to Knoxville wouldn't be a bad move, would it? One that I think a Kentucky kid would understand.

Sumlin is what Boliler fans have been dreaming about. Would they outbid the others is the question. If Norvell leaves Memphis, Sumlin to Memphis (or ASU) makes sense too.

Lol Tennessee and Ohio State students are both reportedly protesting Schiano. Like OSU students just realized our team is led by King Scumbag.

Man UT fans are really pissed about this potential hire. Even state politicians and former players are weighing in on this. His reputation from his time coaching the Bucs was not good.

Hey STL... given the reactions and doing more reading, I can honestly say I had no idea that the hatred towards him was quite this high and the PSU stuff quite this bad... he obviously shouldn't be a HC, anywhere.
