I personally think Freeman will get the job done for us. He cares way too much to let us fall. This guy has it. I say let the season play out before calling for his head.
I am a MF fan. I like him and pray he succeeds. But the hire was a simple hire.

They showed Foskey on the sidelines lighting up the guys on D AFTER Marshall's 90+ yard go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter. Might have been better beforehand.
they need Foskey & Mayer to call a players only meeting and get their shit straight.

My post was aimed at the people who wanted him gone, and also the disrespect the administration showed him
Oh goodness, BK disrespected ND throughout the years. We overlooked his throwing players under the bus, searching around for other jobs and his close shaves against crap teams. Plus his inability to win big games.

I feel for Patterson and Mayer. They’re the only ones on this team that give a shit. Everyone looks like they’re playing uninspired and are just going through the motions.

And I feel bad for the fans that put money off to the side every year to go to a game. This team fucking stinks. Freeman and Swarbrick should be embarrassed.

Rees needed to be gone yesterday. Rams OC position my ass lmao

High lights. Salerno not on field.

But seriously. Now we know why BK left.
Rees is going to be fine, once we actually get players that can play. TB is not the answer and if the coaches selected him to start then the rest of the room is worse.

No threat at WR means load up the box. Don't expect that to change. When our WRs can't beat single coverage on teams like this don't expect any difference going forward.

As someone mentioned previously Mayer was wide open on that pick 6. TB has no ability to see the field.

If y'all are going into nuclear meltdown already I suggest you vacate your Saturdays for the rest of the year and find another team as a substitute this season.

You are so funny. Rees isn’t smart enough to help bring more blockers in. TB is just another QB he hasn’t been able to develop. Rees is the problem.

At it’s peak moments, holy shit... there are few places like ND stadium. Case in point was the Stanford-stop game. The roar was beyond deafening with moments you could hear a pin drop. That was all self-generated. I like aspects of the Jumbotron, but they need to stop with all the promotional stuff and they’ve really neutered the band. Oh, and ND has to play with balls.
There are plenty of great college football home stadium environments. Obviously you have not been to Bama, LSU, UGA and definitely Florida..... Lets not think we are special in the environment department. I have been to plenty of great environments.

ND SHOULD NEVER HIRE AN ASSISTANT FOR HC AGAIN - WE ARE ND!

Pay for a Track Record! Full stop.

Freeman can be a great assistant and a great defensive side recruiter. But being a HC is way, way different. Everytime ND hires an assistant its been fucking kaka.

I love Freeman as a person, as a recruiter for defense and a DC - but its clear this match of him as a HC with Rees as an OC is a total shit show.

This is just dumb. I understand being upset about Marshall. A&M just lost to ap state. You think Jimbo should be fired? You were probably for paying for recruits, which again jimbo did and lost to ap state.

Difference is App St. has history of doing this and is typically a decent team. Marshall was breaking in a new OL and we barely sniffed their QB. We also couldn’t push around their DL.

I don’t think people realize how bad this ND team is and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. There’s not one team on the schedule you can point to today and say that’s a guaranteed win. They’re going to get blown out quite a bit this year.

I don’t personally believe that. I think this team is going to get angry and go on a run. I’m sorry but I am just going to hope for the best no matter what. I think freeman will eventually get us over the hump too. Everyone here was excited about freeman in the offseason. Now when times get hard we turn on him? Gtfoh.

App State doesn't really have a history of doing this. They beat Michigan like 15 or 16 years ago. Their history is very similar to Marshall's.

Yea, because that’s what I was saying. Notre Dame is the only stadium in the nation that creates an atmospheric environment.
Notre Dame has a very generic home field experience.

I've been to ND, K State, Iowa State, and Minnesota. Notre Dame is modestly louder than the others, but that's it.

The team didn't lose today because ND stadium isn't a super intimidating environment. They lost because the offense is bad.

People can be mad the defense gave up some points and yards. But the truth is the longer your offense doesn't show up, the more settled the opposing offense will get.

Up by 3 just outside the Marshall 30 in the 4th quarter. 3rd and 3, Patterson false start. 3rd and 8 don’t convert. Everyone talking about TB or even Tommy is IMO missing the biggest problem. Our Oline is horrible. We could possibly be 2-0 right now with Marshall’s Oline. Dline is not doing much better but, it’s hard when you are on the field a lot.

Yes, it is often generic. I also never argued ND lost because it wasn’t loud. I put what I wrote in italics because it wasn’t what I said at all. I was being facetious.
Wasn't attacking you by any means. Moreso pointing it out for others. We are on the same page....and I'm just ranting because I'm (rightfully) pissed off.

Here's some information you might not know. No one wants to come here.

I’m not turning on Freeman and hope he gets this team on track, but he’s the head coach. It starts with him. There’s no reason for this team to be this bad.
