And drive it to PJ Flecks house in Minnesota and bring him here. Done with Kelly, hes come as far as he can. That game was a total embarassment.

He already said he would come. Hopefully there is an understanding once Kelly leaves.

Row the boat. We'll have to build new boats because we burned them all at Clemson.

Why would any big time coach come here when they are strapped with stipulations and disadvantages compares to other coaches at big time programs?!

P. J. Fleck has done very well at Minny but he’s hardly shown the ability to beat top teams.

Give me Matt Campbell.

Urban is not coming to ND. Gonna have to choose between Fleck, Campbell, or Ruhle who has done a pretty good job turning Baylor around in a very short time.

Campbell isn’t exactly lighting it up this year. Also he has largely done it with academic risks and JUCO’s. Can he recruit at the ND level?

I can only imagine how mad blue hairs would be when the helmets had a giant oar sticker down the middle of then, and ROW in the front plate instead of IRISH.

Like for real, how much winning would have to take place before they quit complaining about it? 5 straight titles? 10?

Recruiting is a big question mark for him, yeah. FWIW, it’s basically on par with Iowa despite Iowa having a number of advantages.

Mainly, I see a guy who has a large number of wins over more talented teams and he’s not dependent on some unusual scheme to catch them by surprise. He’s a good coach who might reasonably get great results with better talent.

Iowa State has had two HCs with winning records since the end of WWI: Matt Campbell and Earl Bruce. Johnny Majors couldn’t win consistently there.

Good. Get them out of the stadium.

We get it. You're hard for Urban. It's never going to happen. That would be a PR disaster.

You think? I would guess both sides would try and sell it as a redemption tour - Meyer going about it the "right way" this time, going back to the team he spurned; and ND holding him accountable.

I'm sure it would end up in flames, but I think you could try to sell it that way. The haters will have more wood to throw on the fire though.

But we won’t. Admin has been VERY clear that winning football is NOT a priority. It might be time to start being a triple option team 🤷*♂️

They will only prioritize it when the wallet gets hit through decline in ticket sales, merchandise, etc.

Unfortunately, they know ND has a VERY loyal fanbase, that will suffer through literally anything. They can continue to be apathetic, and still profit.

PJ Flecks is a poor man’s Brian Kelly. Gimmick offense. Speaks in platitudes. Rah Rah bullshit. No thanks.

PJ hasn't really proven anything yet. Aside from an upset of Wisconsin last season, he's made his bread and butter for 7 seasons winning games he's supposed to. He's not overachieving much, at least not yet. He's not going to come in and upset Alabama. Call back at the end of November once he's played Penn State, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Sounds familiar.

I said this last week, screw Fleck, Brohm, Campbell. If you want a coaching change go for Chris Kleiman. That dude can coach. Second choice is Rhule. If you can’t get those two then stick with BK.

Meyer or stick with BK for now. No reason to potentially blow up a recruiting class for one of these young guys that probably isn't going anywhere this offseason anyways.

Exactly priority rn is to hold on to the 2020 and 2021 classes, they are definitely 2 of the more talented ones in years. Find another OC that is also a QB coach
