Next ND Offensive Coordinator - the search

[EvilleIrish]

You literally cannot do worse than hiring Parker. I cannot believe how much they hyped up Freeman as having an "opportunity" and a "plan" and all of these options just to go with a crappy internal promotion.

But isn't Marcus not to blame here? I feel like he was completely stabbed in the back by the administration.

You know what they say about plans. Everyone has a plan until their athletic director punches them in the mouth and runs away and hides.

It would be ridiculous to not consider leaving if you’re Hartman. If Gino G is the QB Coach I 100% wouldn’t blame him.

They would have to pull a great name at QBs Coach if I was Sam.

 

[ozzman]

Well, Freeman did parade the OC at the hockey game. It just wasn't the guy we thought (nor wanted)

 

[FU BK]

Do we run the serious risk of losing Hartman if this hire happens?

I dont see how we don't. Came here to improve his stock. I sure as hell wouldn't want to stick around now after this disaster

Is it possible that these are intentional leaks to throw off the trail?

Not with Dinich. With her reporting it I would assume this is a done deal.

He's not leaving. He's getting too much contractual NIL money to want to leave.

ESPN has never steered us wrong the off-season. Hartman, Pyne, Klein, Ludwig.

 

[EvilleIrish]

He can't get other NIL deals at another school?

 

[TheRealLynch51]

Why would you walk away from contractually obligated money to "take a shot" somewhere else?

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I'll withhold complaining about a Parker promotion until I see it on the field.

But man, hiring Parker would just further feed the feeling lately that *something* has slipped away from ND.

 

[MPClinton22]

Not with Dinich. With her reporting it I would assume this is a done deal.

To be fair she did also report on Ludwig and we all know where that went

I will go with this until I am officially and swiftly kicked in the balls by the admin again.

Slipped? It will show the CFB world we are not serious at all. This dude was a failure at WVU and we swoop him up?

 

[NDPhilly]

Marcus can't be making more than $6M-$7M while other top programs are paying $10M. What are we doing with that excess money???

 

[CoachB]

I honestly think I would do better than Parker. I should throw my name into the mix, I guess. If it's Parker, no offense to the guy, but I lose a little bit of my interest in ND football.

 

[Free Manera]

To be fair she did also report on Ludwig and we all know where that went

That was correct though. He was in. Then Swarbrick pulled the most bush league move in the history of big boy athletics. No one saw that coming since WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND HAS ON CAMPUS INTERVIEWS WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT KNOWING THEIR BUYOUT

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Marcus can't be making more than $6M-$7M while other top programs are paying $10M. What are we doing with that excess money???

Well we have to pay Jack 2-3 million a year to do nothing.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Not spending it, hence why we're in this position. We need to take the Michael Scott surplus mentality. spend it on the fur coat

 

[Dale]

To be fair she did also report on Ludwig and we all know where that went

She confirmed he’s a strong possibility since he is arriving soon on campus. All accurate.

At the time, everyone here could clear find the flight tracker from SLC to SB and the beat was all well we can’t confirm or deny he’s on that plane.

 

[Sea Turtle]

The Denbrock idea got me thinking,.... There are close to 50 million kangaroos in Australia and something like 3.5 million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay, each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

Yo, kangaroos can box. So Uruay better have a lot of guns or they'll be speaking kangarrese.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

I mean, I'll take Denbrock at this point. I really will.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

I mean, I'll take Denbrock at this point. I really will.

I will say something shocking... I am really, really sorry for ever dissing Rees if this is the best that we can do. I never imagined we would be this neutered in a search.

 

[Free Manera]

Come on that's hyperbolic. It's not nothing. You think the Rifle team just runs itself?

 

[FU BK]

I mean, I'll take Denbrock at this point. I really will.

Hell I'll take a circus monkey at this point before Parker. At least the monkey didn't have a flaming turd at West Virginia

 

[bumpdaddy]

Do we run the serious risk of losing Hartman if this hire happens?

Sampson mentioned on the II podcast that the main reason Klein no longer became a candidate was because of the feedback MF got back from the QB room. Klein really bombed when he spoke to them. O'Malley chimed in saying the only opinion that should have mattered in that situation was Hartman's.

So the point is, if it ends up being Parker then it's likely MF has already gotten feedback from Hartman that he's OK with that.

Marcus can't be making more than $6M-$7M while other top programs are paying $10M. What are we doing with that excess money???

Right? ND is currently (rightfully) getting a bargain at HC. This is like having a QB on a rookie contract; excess funds should be available to get the rest of the staff in place.

 

[Ndaccountant]

I would take ANYONE over Parker. If he's hired, I am starting the Parker revisited thread immediately.
