ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

[Ray “The Mule” Finkle]

He would never turn on Harry heistand he has wet dreams over Harry

Reading this just made me want to take a shower.

Lol should an OL Coach be nice????

 

[Irishdrunk]

It's the live show right now on YT. I've never listened to his pod so not sure if this will be podcast form later.

This tells me two things first Driscoll and Seanare acting like two little Gladys Kravitz gossiping about dissension within the program. He’s probably not doing himself any favors with the program by talking like this.

The only thing that tells me is if assistants and players are not on the same page it’s a hallmark of a very weak weak head coach.

 

[PANDFAN]

He has a hard on for Tommy right now because of his little spat with Mike Golic Jr and Sr. Not going to lie I am a member there cause their recruiting intel is decent but I’m also a member on 247. Most people on that board take his statements as gospel and it is a little annoying. I enjoy Ryan Robert’s but Vince Dedario is a just a fan with a microphone who preaches like he’s an expert.

he seems like a nice guy, but he is Driskel's parrot ....actually everyone on his podcasts just parrots what he says...the podcasts could be 10-15mins

Ryan's the only real talent on that channel.

 

[MacIrish75]

In begrudged fairness to Bryan, I love both Golics, but Junior has a *massive* blind spot when it comes to his buddy and he isn’t afraid to act like a doofus for him when Rees is criticized.

GoJo was on one on Twitter Saturday night. Dude went so far as to “log off” for the evening.

It’d be one thing to defend your boy with facts and analysis. But Golic Jr. immediately goes to “Notre Dame fans are morons” any time they have the nerve to not like the slop they see on the field.

 

[NDisme]

I very rarely listen and only am to have some background noise, but Driskell is throwing out some pretty serious accusations about some assistant coaches crossing the line with some players in practice. Can't stand how nonchalantly he's mentioning this, and also the lack of specific examples. Just "sources", trying to paint a toxic environment.

Yea he made it seem like there would be walkouts or something.

Ah he’s going after the Facebook notre dame fans types who are generally idiots so he’s not wrong

He's simply not old enough to have experienced a time when there was anything much special about ND. Kelly was probably the last chance. Turn out the lights.

The dude likes to hear himself talk. I'm not much of a podcast guy, but 2 1/2 fucking hours seems way too long for a show.

I'm not going to get the same technical details, but I'd rather listen to the 4 Horsemen podcast if I'm going to do anything of that sort. That's the perfect "listen while I drive" kind of media. Those guys are a lot more grounded too. They had a nice call out of the fans that were verbally attacking players. Stuck it to the bandwagon fans also.

11/2 speed has been a podcast game changer for me

So he can dish it out but not take it. Not surprised. Keep that f’n moron away from the program. He only cares about increasing his social media presence, not what’s best for ND.

Idk if I’d go that far. He’s been a pretty solid ambassador for the university since he hung up his cleats…but he definitely has a blind spot when it comes to Tom Rees.

He wants ND to be “cool” with all his dumb social media bullshit, but there’s absolutely ZERO substance to anything he does. That Hangover sketch was stupid and made ND look amateurish. Stop worrying about getting likes on Twitter and worry about actually winning games, keep this idiot away from the program.

That whole thing rubbed me the wrong way and it’s symbolic of what’s wrong with Golic Jr. Everything is about social media points and looking “cool”, there’s no substance to anything he does, probably because he’s never had to work for anything.

Mike Golic Jr. is not going to help ND win or lose games, regardless of his Twitter rhetoric (or lack thereof) about Tommy Rees.

Now Driskell is complaining he is losing subscribers and viewers! LOL. What a shock.

Treat people like shit, ban paying customers, and make stupid predictions from a total homerish viewpoint and you wonder why people with half of a spine turn your 2 hour a day drive out. You will be left with salty nuts shriveled up listening to how great Marcus Freeman is and that he is already a better HC than Kelly.....

Too many people thought it would be such an easy transition for Freeman. Falling for the charisma - which is obviously there - but ignoring the fact that he was woefully inexperienced and untested.

Did he really?
I actually need to cancel myself.
He banned me weeks ago because I literally listed all his hypocrisies on the premium board.
He forgets the stuff he says & posts are there forever.
I remember all his crap over the years so I pulled some of it out & put it next to his current crap to show his hypocrisies and he banned me.
But the problem is, he doesn’t ban you just from posting, he bans you from everything. So why would anyone pay for that?

I’m not going to do it, because I believe in ethics & privacy, but I have pages of private conversations from him that show how out of touch he really is. He honestly thinks he knows more than BK, I will just leave it at that. I’m not the only one who had these conversations with him either.

But the stuff he posts or put out on podcasts is fair game. Go back & listen to the stuff he said about BK, and then listen to him now, & you will see all the hypocrisies.
Also, he is still blaming BK for this season. Somehow it’s BK’s fault ND lost to Marshall & Stanford because of “BK’s bad culture.”

Dude put all his future & site into the bash BK & worship Freeman basket. If things go bad for Freeman at ND, and BK wins at LSU, his site & career are over…

 

[Reaper97]

Serious question, where did he say that he is loosing subscribers. I havent seen it on the premium board or heard it in the IB podcast.

I quit listening to his podcasts last week.
I used to listen to them on long runs or drives, but I just can’t handle him anymore.

Sounds like Driskell. Anytime we would lock horns on anything he’d stumble all over himself, then erase my posts, but leave his up — he’s just curating a museum of his own perspectives in that message board. A couple months ago I demanded my money back, and to his credit he gave it to me. Won’t go back. It was fun for the three months it lasted.

How many photos of Driskell do you have on your wall?

He said it on the postgame recap. It was a comment about how with ND not being good, less people care. It actually wasn't really a complaint lol

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Don’t listen to Driskel’s pod but try to catch all the others on a weekly basis. What’s funny is that despite ND losing to two trash teams that they had no business losing to, Prister/O’Malley/Sampson are still counting on Navy & BC as guaranteed wins thinking the worst ND finishes is 6-6. Have they not learned that “on paper” should be disqualified after the Marshall & Stanford losses. At least predict tight wins to maintain some credibility. Of course, ND should beat Navy & BC “on paper” but I’m not willing to assume that. As the greatest HC in the history of CFB once said, “winning is hard”.

BK absolutely shares a part of the struggles we've seen this year, but not for the reason Driskell listed. If BK thought this was going to be a championship team I'm not completely sure he takes a chance and goes to LSU for a rebuild, but the guaranteed money probably lures him away regardless. To say "BK's bad culture" is why we lost is definitely stupid on his part though. BK did contribute to those losses, but it was his poor evaluation and recruiting in seasons like '19 and '20 that hurt us this year. The rest of the blame lies with the current staff trying to put it all together.

I don't know but I love your rotating cartoon avatars. Sweet.

I warned him of this when he started his site.
I told him ND winning was the most important thing for his site, regardless if he liked BK or not.
The last five years is what allowed Rivals, 247, ISD, this site, & then IB & On3 to all be able to succeed at the same time.
Fans were getting multiple subscriptions & visiting all the sites because they were excited to talk ND football.
People aren’t going to subscribe to multiple sites, people aren’t going to become first time subscribers, people aren’t going to pay superchats on YouTube, for a 5-7 program.
Ironically, BK’s success the past 5 years paved the way for Driskell to start his own site.

I’m tired of him being involved in the program, keep him away

@GowerND11 your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.
