Football Scoop reporting Mike Locksley is expected to be named Alabama's offensive coordinator. Should put Long rumors to rest.

Big especially because he is deciding after NSD, so we should know what our scholarship numbers look like. Could also be nice to give our next LT time to develop.

Lets just add some class to this coaching staff with Hugh Feeze-Saban would. Unbelievable to say the least and listen to the bams saying how if Saban thinks its ok then its ok with them. This has been the height of hypocrisy. Cant believe no one is commenting on this ^%*&. What is going on with college football-am I really seeing this.

I'm not sure Hugh is a very good role model...

I don't know how the folks in Alabama view him being on hookers, and his program paying players, etc. Bama is already winning. Seems like a morally poor choice, and lacks logic as well. Seems like recruits and their parents don't have much to say...seems like the Alabama administration doesn't have much to say (smells like a culture where St. Nick outranks them...we've seen how that ends) Its a bad look, and seems not to make sense given what a Hugh transgression could cost Bama.

Pretty Sure wouldn't fly at ND on moral grounds...and I'd hope logical grounds as well.

That'd be great, but sounds like some serious competition for the young man's services. Michigan. Auburn. Texas. It might help if we had an offensive line coach.

Per Eric Hansen, ND is at the interview stage on both OL and S coaches. So, we should probably know pretty soon who they get. He also said something to the effect that he expects a pretty good hire for OL because of the groundwork laid by HH and the players he has brought in, many good OL coaches think of it as a great opportunity.

I am not sure Bama cares about that.

For realsies. Losing Harry sucks, but that does seem like one area that ND should always be able to hire the cream of the crop. Big Uglies like ND

c'mon they hired Sark and Kiffin who bought have coaching chops but questionable off field baggage and it didnt matter a jot. they just care about winning.

they could hire Donald Henry Gaskins to coach DB's and it wouldn't even matter to them as long as they won games.

 

[NDRock]

I was hoping Alabama would go Hugh Freeze/Greg Schiano combo for their OC/DC positions. I personally would love it.

Didn't know where to put this, but looks like a potential candidate to succeed Swarbrick at some point. Lots of glowing comments.

ESPN Host: Notre Dame's Fighting Irish Mascot Is Offensive, Needs to Change

Wonder if the Irish could be the 'Drunkerds' and not offend anybody's precious, little crybaby feelings?????

 

[IrishLion]

Notre Dame's mascot is a leprechaun, so they could just change from "Fighting Irish" to "Irish," and still use the standard mascot. It'd be a great middle finger to SJW's out there.

It's the "Fighting" in "Fighting Irish" that should be offensive, not the leprechaun logo itself, and yet people want to crusade for the sake of crusading, and will miss their own point because of it.

IrishLion - this is not directed towards you in any way brother.........

My mother's parents immigrated from Ireland; My Father's mother from Italy.

With all due respect, the 'Fighting' does not, has not, and will not offend me or any other Irish descendants in my family.

Screw it - let them just go back to the Catholics or Ramblers......

wait - there still may be some crybabies out there.......

I guess to me the difference is our mascot isn't a real thing... I don't think it is supposed to be a Irishman, but a leprechaun which doesn't exist.

However if Notre Dame was to eliminate it and just go with the ND logo, I wouldn't care.. Mascot is not even in the top 50 things of what I love about my school

don't know man, soon the tree-huggers will be after Stanford

 

[beryirish]

It's offensive to not be offended nowadays. Pathetic and sad.

No, my great grandfather was a Catholic Rambler.

^^^ this ^^^

 

[KizerWilhelm]

"Pernicious, negative stereotypes of marginalized people that offend even some among them should be changed. It's not that hard..."

That seems really untenable, even divorced from the "Fighting Irish" discussion. Saying that if even a tiny percent is offended you should make a change is unworkable.

If 99 people say something isn't offensive and 1 says it is, I just assume that one guy is a bit over sensitive.

 

[AllGoldEverything]

Just ridiculous. Notre Dame picked up the nickname "the fighting Irish" to represent the struggling Irish Catholics in America who were treated poorly. Looked at as a nickname of pride for those Irish immigrants who were mostly underdogs when they got to America, just like ND was in their early years as a University.

ESPN just trying to get clicks.

 

[RDU Irish]

What if 10% take pride in the term versus 1% that are offended - aren't you offending more people by removing it? Such a limp dick argument - being a fighter is a negative? What's next, Lucky Charms?

Not like Chief Assholio (or whatever that Feminole is called) is a drunk fat ass in a ripped up couch - he is a bad ass warrior throwing a spear around. It is recognizing heritage and more beneficial to raising awareness than a stupid sheep with enormous nuts or some sh!t.

Maybe it is all a Dwayne Johnson conspiracy - he will be the only spokesman for everything b/c nobody knows what his ethnicity is so he is not offensive.
