Marcus Freeman Revisited

[Irish#1]

LOL........Anybody that watched the game could tell you that.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Why tell national tv? Kind of a dick move.

Spiking the football and doing the Icky Shuffle while coming off as a gracious winner.

"Your DL sucks, your LBs suck, your OL sucks, your QB sucks, your punter sucks, your offensive game plan sucks, your defensive game plan sucks, your kicker usage sucks."

Something like that.

And, apparently, our stadium atmosphere sucks

I have always liked Thomas Hammock and I hope he does well. Seems like a class move by a class guy. ND won't play NIU again in our lifetimes most likely.

Well, except when we meet them in the playoffs this year...

“Funniest” part of all this is that the young OL actually played quite well…fuck me riley is bad

 

[WildMan1]

I am spiraling about this staff actually scouting Riley Leonard & choosing to take him on..

But then again Ohio St let Joe Burrow go..

Maybe it’s just that these guys are obsessed with running QBs.

Riley needs to volunteer to sit especially if he is banged up. If he can’t sacrifice his body for the team then sacrifice the position to a better option. Our offensive numbers are amongst the worst in the country and our TDs have come from nice runs by our backs. He has not contributed in any sort of way. Time to go nice guy. Be a captain and let someone else take over the ship.

This is embarrassing. Sure, coaches talk all the time, but for the coach of NIU giving one sided advice to the head coach of ND publicly is a really bad look. It should be the other way around.

This is year 3 and MF still doesn't know what hes doing. That ought to be fun with opposing coaches on the recruiting trail.

He shouldn't have to volunteer to sit if he is banged up. Freeman is the boss. He should decide. He should have made that decision vs NIU when he obviously looked dinged up and stopped running. Good coaches do that. Geez, even Kelly sat Coan a few times.

For some reason I skimmed this and read, “Riley needs to volunteer his body to science,” and honestly I can’t disagree with that assessment.

Thomas Hammock offering to talk to freeman was a good career move on his part. I could see ND snagging him as OC or something if Denbrock doesn’t clean it up.

Wow. He seems like an awesome guy.

It’s an embarrassment. My shitty team beat you on national tv and embarrassed the university. Now I want to tell run it in and talk about it.

Screw you, pack sand and Freeman is becoming more of a joke everytime we turn around.

On the postgame show, one caller mentioned that ND players were not locked in and were conversing with fans.

After being told told to pay attention, certain ND players gave the finger with FUs.

Can anyone confirm that? I wasn’t there, thankfully, and my seats are not nearly that good.

Go to 1:07:40 if you’d like to hear it.

I have a hard time believing that, personally and would assume we'd have video with 80,000 fans there to witness something like that.

Yeah that sounds like complete BS to me.

 

[Free Manera]

It doesn't even make sense. Someone watched a bad 90's sports movie recently and thought "how could I vilify this team even more?" Got it!

 

[MrNimbus]

Using advanced analytics when you have zero feel for how the game is unfolding is a Freeman trademark. I see the analytics recommendations even on espn broadcasts now. My favorite would be a 4th and 7 from a teams own 31 in the first quarter, in a game tied 0-0. Espn analytics says "go for it". Lol.

 

[ThePiombino]

Does sound outrageous, BUT...why on Earth would someone make that up?

 

[Luckylucci]

I don't think the act of coaches sharing info is the wild part. That is pretty common. It's that it's between NIU and Notre Dame. And Notre Dame is the one receiving the coaching advice or scouting. With the most expensive staff the program has ever had.

It really wasn't a career move. It's common among non rival coaches to do this kind of thing after games, especially at the college and high school level.

Hammock was a Co-OC at Minnesota for one year. It's the only time he's ever held the title. I don't know what his actual play calling experience is, if any, but to go from Denbrock to Hammock is probably a serious drop off. Not to mention Denbrock has been ND OC for all of two games this season with a QB that is supposedly hurt if not perhaps injured.

It's all kind of a shit show after a bad loss and we're all getting way ahead of ourselves. The time to start firing people isn't now. Its like porn. You'll know it when you see it.

Would it be completely outrageous if the same staff who forgot to field 11 players two plays in a row against Ohio State also let self-scouting slip through the cracks?

Is he going to lend us some linemen?

I mean…because it sounds outrageous?

If you have humility, someone pointing out your blind spots is a great help.

 

[ThePiombino]

If you have humility, someone pointing out your blind spots is a great help.

Questions are:

1.) Are these blind spots that should be in existence in year #3?
2.) Are these blind spots that our own self-scouting should have caught well before last week?
