Re what O’Malley also said about Meadows: What irritates me is that apparently Kelly negatively recruited the dorm situation and social life and that had an impact on the Meadows camp. Like, that’s some bush league stuff to say about a school you worked with for 12 years and sent you own daughter to. Especially when he himself knew that it’s easy for football players to get off campus accommodations easily enough off the record.
I don't want to give Brown a pass and I don't want to condemn him to abject failure forever.
To be fair, if that’s what really mattered to him he wasn’t going to come to ND anyways. With that being said, Bayou Brian is a bitch
Anyone know the gorman kid processed out of lsu?
Respectfully, I'm pretty sure the only thing BK gave a $hit about in this situation was landing Meadows. Head coaches are like politicians, they'll say whatever they have to do land the recruit or gain votes. I'm no BK defender, AT ALL, but his job is to land recruits and win football games for LSU now, not do both of those things while also ensuring ND's reputation remains untarnished.
I mean, in the age of NIL most if not all of the players live off campus, including Frosh. If that's truly why Meadows picked LSU over ND, he was just looking for reasons to not pick ND and would have never signed here imo.
It was probably the Mountain Dew talking…
How much D3 film do you think is out there 😂
THERES TONS! DB, I mean, BD, brags about how many hours of film he used to study! And on TAPE!
You should know by now that guys like this are never satisfied. "Yeah, we won a natty 21-17, but it should have been 35-7", or "Yeah, we won a natty, but next years going to suck".
“We didn’t win the natty, so this year was a failure”
I don't know how it is at other programs because I don't follow other programs, but ND seems to find itself in this position every season and its usually the same repeat offenders.
Don't want to think about his word choices, don't want to think about his word choices, don't want to think about hi...
The arms race and cost of doing business for the Tier 1 schools is going to be out of control.
This is why I personally give a lot of weight to blue chip ratios. Teams with good/great ratios can better afford the evaluation misses when your floor is high.
Actually with all the TV money growth there IS revenue to handle the costs at the top. But the bottom half of BCS and the rest of the food chain are screwed. 20 more scholarships for every team in the top tier is going to starve the rest. The non revenue sports at the top are going to become even more dominant than they are now and entire non revenue programs will bite the dust.
Couldn't of said it any better...lol
Too obvious?
ND messed that one up with Taylor.
Who else was ND considering this round outside of brown
It's hard to say. There was hope for Jamarcus Shephard from Washington who'd have been great but expensive and also he was going to the CFP at the time. He's now a co-OC with DeBoer at Bama. We probably should've hired him instead of Stuckey two years ago.
Honestly, they shouldn't. He had every opportunity to commit to ND and was always looking for a reason not to.
