I highly doubt Luke was ever a realistic option.

Well, ND hosted him for an in-person interview, so he had to be at least SOMEWHAT interested. Otherwise, why go all the way out there to interview?

I think it was a situation where Luke was willing to hear the pitch and see if it was a fit to the point where he would want to return to coaching. From what it sounds, he decided it wasn't worth it.

I think it was realistic, but ND had a lot to overcome to convince him.

As long as it's not Rudolph or Watt I'm happy I think.

Why not Rudolph?

Has prior coordinator experience and developed some impressive lines at Wisconsin. Not his fault that Chryst couldn't develop a passing game to save his life.

Yeah, you don’t fly up for an interview as an unemployed coach unless you’re interested.

Fly up with your family and spend two days in South Bend.

That's pretty serious interest.

The chance might be over now, but my goodness if you had gotten Matt Luke it's not only a great hire but it would have been a statement to all the blue bloods and southern schools that ND is not screwing around.

I think if you hire a guy that can recruit the south like that, then ND will be the best line in college football consistently. Already near the top, we are great grabbing OL recruits from almost all of the US except the south.

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

Rudolph was a GA when Freeman played at ohio state.

Since Lloyd likely has as many sources as me and you, he’s probably just trying to connect dots.

Thought we had an SEC and NFL guy we were after too.

He’s had some great rushing lines over the years. Some of those Wisconsin offenses were pretty dominant
