Next ND Offensive Coordinator - the search

[NDRock]

Pop the champagne, boys.

Hell yeah, we’ve got our guy!

Great, but does he want the job.

Son of a bitch, didn’t think of that.

Flight tracker is the best and it only works because no one would fly private to South Bend for virtually any other reason.

Hacienda is worth buying a plane ticket!

Idk,… with the way y’all white boys hype up Hacienda,…

What if this was all an evil plan by the Mormons to screw with the Catholics.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this drags out a few more days - with Johnson possibly interviewing.

If it’s Ludwig, we’ll know by Monday unofficially, but this will prob not be official for two more weeks I’d bet

OFEI, ODE, and OBD comparisons by year for ND OCs, Ludwig, and Lewis. Table is color-coded by team.

OFEI: per-possession scoring advantage each offense would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average opponent
ODE: scoring value gained or lost per offensive drive
OBD: percentage of offensive drives that gain zero or negative yards

Shows Ludwig is very impressive. Got better every year at Vandy. Utah offenses, besides the COVID year, have been really good.

Nope

I’d do a lot of things for that ranch

I think Ludwig would be a home run higher but I feel like ND is gonna have to open up the cash if they are gonna convince him to leave his home state

If they were going to match Alabama for Reesus, I’m sure they’ll pony up for Ludwig

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

Ludwig I believe made $1.25m last year. I would think a $750K - $1m salary bump would give anybody something to seriously think about.

Since it is not my money I think we go hard at him and offer 3 million plus use of the private so he can go back to Utah.

Only one man could take us higher than Ludwig.

I think Ludwig does have a large buyout

I think Ludwig does have a large buyout

ND Insider article had it at $450k. Can’t imagine that would be a problem.

Have to believe Nd isnt wasting time interviewing anybody they wouldnt take care of this for. Non-issue

Do coordinators often have multi-year contracts and buyouts? (for that matter, did Rees have a buyout? He was pretty well-paid by this season.)

Per Driskell last week, yes to both of those questions.

These days, yes, coordinators will often sign 2-3 year deals. I think Golden signed a 3yr deal with ND.

The length and buyout numbers aren’t enough to dissuade a team from hiring a coordinator as a new HC, but can sometimes be a hinderance and make lateral moves difficult. They’re usually doable for the more prestigious teams to poach a coordinator though.

No idea on the length or terms of Rees’ deal at ND.

I’d say Notre Dame could use the Rees buyout, but weren’t they weird when Kelly left and they just let him go without enforcing the buyout?

Was Ludwig ever under consideration at Bama?

Who cares? You think bama worries about who interviewed at other programs? It’s about who we want.

 

[MacIrish75]

Was Bama ever under consideration for Ludwig? This is Andy fucking Ludwig we’re talking about, after all.

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

Been wanting one of those all szn

I may or may not have one 😳

Saban could only be so lucky to talk to such greatness

What kind of offense does Ludwig run at utah? A multiple set?

What kind of offense does Ludwig run at utah? A multiple set?

Sampson had a great write up on The Athletic about it: Andy Ludwig emerging as strong candidate for Notre Dame OC

Since 2020, they’ve led the country in 13 personnel (3 tight ends) and were top 15 in rushing. Cam Rising also threw for 3,000 yards even with the multiple tight end and rushing game focus.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

There’s only one man who can stop Ludwig. And Frank Drebin ain’t around no more. Let’s gooooo!!!
