Next ND Offensive Coordinator - the search

[Irish4life]

I’m going to be sick if it’s Parker.

All you had to do was accept the job Mr. Klein smh.

Hypothetical, would you take Parker if they hire Brandon Streeter?

Klein would be fine, but he's not an upgrade over Tommy, just different.

It’s too bad he declined because after having looked at the numbers I do actually think he would have been a big upgrade.

He produced more yards per game and more points per game than Tommy did last year. KSU faced a significantly tougher defensive schedule and had way worse talent to work with. Their 2nd and 3rd WRs were both PWOs, one of their starting lineman was a converted 2* DL walk on, and they also used a backup QB for most of the season.

I would be very disappointed if that's what we wind up with.

One of the reasons there are so few leaks is that:
1. Freeman has cracked down.
2. Rees was a large source of past leaks.

There are virtually no Kelly holdovers at this time, and those guys were very symbiotic with the media. Many of them used beat writers to plant stories that helped them.

Does Parker have enough experience calling plays to make Freeman confident in hiring him? If so it wouldn’t be a bad setup. Plus Freeman would likely be more comfortable with putting his own stamp on the offense given their relationship.

"I do believe they offered him the job and multiple sources indicated that they expected him to take it. He had a change of heart and decided against leaving for Notre Dame."

Loy throwing around Tee Martin....

Yeah I was starting to get excited by the possibility of the Klein hire.

 

[EvilleIrish]

2 million to hire an OC and we have reached the Tee Martin stage...

 

[Giddyup]

Isn’t Tee Martin coaching in the CFL?

Ravens WR coach

Loy did mention there was a mystery candidate on campus last night interviewing as well.

Interview was over the phone or zoom

I would trust IE posters before any CFL hires.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

They're all completely in the dark and are having to scoop up info after the fact. Literally all of them. Loy, Driskell, ISD, even Singer (if he counts.)

Singer just found out that Tommy went to Bama

there are def still leaks because it didnt take long for the "we may not have offered him" posts and new names to come out.

Also, unlikely that he talks to media but Harry is a Kelly holdover.

No matter how anyone felt or didnt feel about Klein - Not great optics to supposedly had interest from 20+ people, only had two on campus interviews, and got turned down by your #1 choice.

Pinball Clemons wouldn't be a good candidate?

 

[NDQuebec]

Driskell is best insider...

Who does he have as potential hires?

 

[irish4ever]

Charlier Weis

 

[Irish4life]

Who does he have as potential hires?

He says that Klein wasn't ever offered the job, that both sides agreed it wasn't an "ideal fit".

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Yikes.

I'm really curious if this was a money grab by Klein; either hoping to snatch a big payday at ND or at the very least leverage a raise at KState. If the reports are true he's making "only" $600K, could be some teeth to that.

I was coming around to the idea from those that shared the highlights of his offense, but we'll be fine. Trusting in Freeman and the process.

Charlier Weis

How much more Charlier is he than Charlie Weis?

 

[NDQuebec]

He says that Klein wasn't ever offered the job, that both sides agreed it wasn't an "ideal fit".

ok thx

 

[NDdomer2]

let me know when Charliest Weis is available.

Himself

 

[Giddyup]

“ He says that Klein wasn't ever offered the job, that both sides agreed it wasn't an "ideal fit".”

Sounds like damage control. Not gonna fly in the kid if his tape didn’t “fit”.

 

[NDQuebec]

It's amazing that the OC position at ND is not a coveted one. Good O'line, RB's, QB's and a national brand. What more could you ask for? Something is fishy.
