New Offensive Line Coach Search

[rtrn2glory]

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

I am not embarrassed at all to admit that the fact I trust Lax and his sources much more than Loy's at this point.

Luke has turned down every other opportunity to even just interview anywhere. The fact he did at ND says a lot. If family is really his priority, I don't blame him one bit for not wanting to move to South Bend when his sons are entering high school and middle school. Sometimes things aren't all that complicated for why ND misses.

Hell, It's been that way since I started on IE....

IMO, Luke taking the job would have been the biggest surprise since Manti committing. I’m Luke’s age and have lived in the south my whole life but I doubt I would move my family up to northern Indiana. Not sure how you guys deal with such shitty weather.

June and Late September/Early October are pretty nice.

 

[ThePiombino]

Btw Luke is out.

Lol ND swinging and missing on its top candidates for both high profile coaching vacancies that "folks would be knocking down the door to have" is such a cringe look.

Easy, not be soft. 😉

On the flip side you don’t necessarily have to worry about a Nader dropping from the sky every time it rains!

 

[ThePiombino]

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

Because he's a war daddy and Freeman trusts him.

 

[ThePiombino]

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.

If I wanted to be scolded, I would have never moved out of your mom's place.

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.

He was recruiting O lineman to Wisconsin though... so I'm not sure how tough that would be to recruit. Alot of those recruits were probably in state as well.

When it comes to cold, I’m Charmin soft.

I did 4 South Bend winters. Ruined me to the point I'm a snowbird at 29.

 

[IrishFanForever23]

Loy saying Luke is for sure out and it's on to Rudolph and Callahan. Luke's family was interested in ND as well, but my guess is moving from Athens to South Bend was one of the deal breakers. You can't really compare the two.

"Coach Dipshit" hearing Rudolph and Vanderbilt's OL coach.

I'd take Callahan out of the second tier.

Callahan would be a great hire. Rudolph depends on who you ask.

Really just joking, but this offseason has sucked.

 

[Giddyup]

In honesty these guys like Rudolph and Callahan are hardly bottom of the barrel. I’d still consider them 1a prospects.

 

[arrowryan]

Freeman/Swarbrick hires from within for an OC and IE bitches. Freeman/Swarbrick are bound to make an outside hire for the OL coach, IE bitches.

Either way, Freeman can’t win here. I guess the only winning scenario was Andy Reid and Joe Moore.

 

[Giddyup]

Luke always seemed like a weird play for us. But at least the kids got to see ND for free.

 

[Giddyup]

“Hey, you want to fly a private jet to ND”.

“Sure dad and we get out of school”

I would have taken Kyle Shanahan and Matt Luke

 

[zbikowski88]

Callahan 1a Rudolph 1B to me - not great but solid options

 

[arrowryan]

I’m sure they could’ve gotten Nick Sirianni and just have him bring his OL coach with him. That was the plan with Ludwig, so why not just repeat that idea?

For OLine it is. They’re one of the bests spots at developing NFL OLinemen, there’s a ton of in-state talent at the position, you get to play in a fun ground pound offense, the best beer and brats this side of the Atlantic, heck sign me up to be a Badger OLinemen. We barely pulled Schrauth out of state and he’s a high academic, Catholic, ND dreamer.

Callahan looks like Meatloaf in Fight Club. Pass.
