ND Coaching Search Megathread

[beryirish]

Saw Ohio State is promoting Hartline to "passing coordinator" per recruits.cfb instagram post.

 

[MacIrish75]

Additionally, Kelly is poised to add his former offensive line coach at Notre Dame, Jeff Quinn, into an offensive analyst role, multiple sources told FootballScoop.

Delvaughn Alexander ≈ Rising Star

Irish#1 would prefer Shepard for no other reason than this board will be full of Wiggins, Wiggens, Wiggans, Wiggons and Wagons.

How do you think they feel about Coach Reece ?

Thank God Ara was coach in a period of time before message board phonetic spellers could butcher his surname…

Ah yes, Good Ole Era Parsegion

Damn, I was so close but just inside...

That's what she said...

Apparently there’s a 3rd WR coach being considered any guesses too who

Chansi Stucky. Baylor WR coach

It rhymes with Bourbon Tire

Irish Insight said Sheppard was a done deal. May end up that way but sure doesn't seem done yet today much less yesterday

 

[Free Manera]

For real though one of these is not like the others. Stucky has been an on field coach for one year. This feels like one of those relationship-builder interviews where you are considering a guy for a future opening, not the current one.

It's Shephard. Shep hard. It's not that, uh, hard.

Shephard was on campus yesterday per Loy. Someone may have been jumping the gun. It definitely does not seem like a done deal because Wiggins hasn't even interviewed yet, plus there is the Stucky news.

I do think pretty much everyone expects it to be Shephard though. He seems like the runaway favorite.

Common practice, and in this instance, good idea considering the staff he's currently a part of at Baylor. Stuckey played at Clemson and hung around in the NFL for a bit. Then he was a GA at Clemson for a couple of years before landing Baylor.

He was a two time All ACC First Team WR and has experience in the League. Solid resume.

Thanks Mrs. Nancy. I'll work on my spelling.

Why do you have a hard on for this? His source says it's so. Either he's right or wrong, neither of those options really matter at the end of the day. It took ND 3 or so days from the initial leak to announce Freeman and that was an internal hire with considerably less hoops to jump through.

 

[GATTACA!]

The "Tiers of Poster" sounds a lot like Scientology. A lot.

Dale and BobbyMac are out here reading Thetan levels on their e-meter. Lax is a Captain in the Sea Org. Whiskey is clearly David Miscavige. LL is Tom Cruise's handler.

It's all so obvious now.

 

[irishog77]

I want to see somebody hot-roddin'

I guess that depends on your definition of done deal. I'm assuming you feel a done deal is when the contract is signed and the hiring announced. Irish Insight may know that they have come to an agreement and all that is left is for the George O'Leary process to be completed before he can sign the contract. Would "Both parties have come to an agreement" make you feel better?

LOL, I don't think there are any different opinions on what done deal means.

Upon further review I've been somewhat of an ass. If Arrow reads this consider this my apology for making a big stink out of this.

This is the internet, sir. You're supposed to dig your heels in and keep escalating, imo.

Unacceptable. The argument must follow its natural course until one party invokes the Hitler comparison. It's Godwin's Law. You cannot break the law.

Rasputin has spoken. So let it be written, so let it be done.

But is it a "done deal"?

 

[irish o'phile]

Hmmm. Did ND miss out or did they choose someone else?

 

[IrishSpartan]

A little worried we through our hat in on Wiggins and that we have neglected the possibility that we might miss.

 

[IrishBoognish]

Welp,

Looks like chicago51 should have stuck to his guns just a little longer.

 

[IrishSpartan]

And it seems we got the third option being stuckey. I’m peeved
