How bad will it get lounge

[IrishTusker]

0-12. Rip the bandage off. Hire Fickell or someone better than Fickell, he retains Carr and builds a connection. We go all out NIL.

Most likely we win 5 games and the clown staff is retained for 2 more years while they further damage the program. All great recruits bail. Someone will have to fix the disaster and it’ll take a decade to recruit and develop. It’ll take a Booger 5-6 years to get back half of what Kelly built.

What did Kelly build? He didn't win a NY6 game in 12 years.

Freeman said “everything has to be evaluated”. Wrong! Only thing that needs to be evaluated is Marcus Freeman.

I think Freeman will get a standing ovation when he gets his first and only win, in OT vs UNLV.

I’m giving Freeman 3 years minimum and think he will do well here. Blame who you want but 99% of the offensive issues are on Kelly and Rees not Freeman. It will take 2-3 years for us to get good solid depth and playmakers on offense

100% disagree. College football is a lot different today than it was even 3 years ago. You can rebuild quick with the free agent era. If Freeman and the staff were fine to stand pat for the most part and roll with what they had it’s all on Freeman. If it’s not the players it’s coaching. Look how much USCs offense has changed from last year to this year.

I would say less than 20% of the transfer would be able to get into ND. And you can bitch and moan all you want but the school isn’t going to make special exceptions for football players.

Sure, though Notre Dame's approach to transfers and NIL makes that sort of thing harder here than most places.

Dead ducks. College football is evolving and Notre Dame is stuck in 1988.

They used to, back when Notre Dame was the premier Football University in America. I'll bitch and moan because academically ND is 20-25. Might as well be the best at something.

Here’s where my mind went:

How long until Mayer and Foskey start sitting to protect their draft stock? I mean I’m optimistic we can get things turned around…but if not…there’s precedent set to pull the plug. And, if we’re staring 6-6 in the face, that moment could come fairly early.

Good question but Meyer could play himself into the first round and Foskey could get the sack record.

BK averaged 11 wins a season, and played for the National Championship with high academic standards. It can be done if the right HC is brought in

Or brought back.

That is why Even the coaches poll had us as a top-five team coming into the season. Brian Kelly had this program consistently in the hunt for the playoffs. This is not on his watch they have talent. This is all about the new coach and Ries.

So you're good with Tommy? lol

Meyer is the first TE off the board in almost all mock drafts already, he can only play himself out of the 1st round by getting injured.
