New Offensive Line Coach Search

and they were all partying when he left.

The team also regressed further.

We all know how this plays out ND is interviewing 3 really known canidates Choice one backed out. At the end they'll revert back to Watt.

Dev going to be watt

Imagine getting a proven assistant coach with a history of championship level football to fill a hole on the coaching staff. Couldn’t be Notre Dame.

Do we think it's a HC problem or an administration problem?

Fellas if I wanted to hear constant nagging and complaining, I would have never moved out of my mom's place. You all are just incessant.

Get what you're saying, but the consistent public rejections are not good. This is now three instances of it. The fact that his family came with him and still didn't take it is not a good look.

• Since his arrival in Madison in 2015, the Badgers averaged 212.3 rushing ypg, a mark that ranks fifth among Power Five squads. Only Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Oregon and Oklahoma were better over that seven-season span. Wisconsin averaged 4.9 yards per carry and racked up 194 rushing TDs during his tenure as the Badgers made three Big Ten Championship Game appearances.

From the VT Bio...

It sounds like Luke decided he didn’t want to get back into the game after only one season away.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Do we think it's a HC problem or an administration problem?

Yes

 

[IrishLax]

Do we think it's a HC problem or an administration problem?

Neither in this case.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Can someone explain to me why I should be excited about Rudolph?

He helps Santa bring presents.

 

[ColinKSU]

Neither in this case.

I agree.

That said, there’s only one more thing they do if the goal is to see how badly you can damage ND’s public perception in one offseason and doesn’t it kind of feel like that’s where it’s heading?

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Well, they could pursue BVG as TE coach, and get rejected.

 

[Free Manera]

Neither in this case.

Really it seems like it's neither in all of these rejected offers. Ludwig buyout bullshit aside, he decided to stay home in the end. Klein has basically been in the Little Apple his whole life and decided to stay home. Luke is a year into a family sabbatical and decided to stay home.

There could be guys we didn't hear about that weren't interested due to the administration or Freeman, but as of now there is no evidence of that.

 

[IrishLax]

I agree.

For real. This would've been an incredible coup to land Luke and would've flipped the script on the entire offseason. Instead, it creates yet another frustrating situation.

 

[BeauBenken]

Get what you're saying, but the consistent public rejections are not good. This is now three instances of it. The fact that his family came with him and still didn't take it is not a good look.

I think the fact that they got the guy to consider coming out of retirement and work in the remote midwest when he's spent his entire life in the south is impressive and not a bad look at all. I doubt he's picking up the phone or making the flight for many other teams.

Just hire Chris watt and call it a day.. this summer stupid being embarrassed by these coaches

If anyone doesn’t think it is Watt they are just being senile… I’m sorry but it is clear we have given up

Dev going to be watt

 

[BoredIrish]

How long before the Pete Thamel tweet that Luke said no because ND wouldnt meet his asking price.

*Misguided passion intensifies*

 

[Katzenboyer]

Bummed about Luke.

I'm not at all concerned it's going to be Watt. I think it's pretty clear he's not getting the job.

Now why’d you have to go and put this energy into the world?

Don’t get married, then…

 

[Free Manera]

Thank you for your email. To paraphrase the character Neville Flynn played by Samuel L. Jackson in one of my favorite movies, Snakes on a Plane, I have had it with your motherfucking passion in this motherfucking coaching search.

Finally, given your strong interest in Notre Dame, I encourage you to become a member of the suck it fund and GTFO.

Be Irish!

So confirmed Luke is out then?

 

[Katzenboyer]

ISD saying that their sources are indicating Luke is leaning away from taking the job.

 

[stpeteirish]

So confirmed Luke is out then?

Not been reported by anyone yet, but he interviewed on Tuesday so if he was saying yes it likely would have happened and reported by now.

 

[ab2cmiller]

I think Rudolph would be great. From what I've gathered, he's got some recruiting chops as well. He was considered Wisconsin's top recruiter for years which can't be an easy place to recruit to.

 

[StPaul_Irish]

So confirmed Luke is out then?

Lax said he is out, and has some info he will share tomorrow.

 

[Free Manera]

Lloyd said he doesn't think Luke is taking it and he was trying to find out who was next in line. Seems dead.
