Next ND Offensive Coordinator - the search

[GrangerIrish24]

I went gorillas and rats. 10,000 rats is a shitload of rats.

Give me the rats and those wolves so I could ride one into battle.

So even better let’s put a guy who has never called a play or ran an offense in charge of the whole offense. Not inspiring much confidence.

Except that's how every offensive coordinator in history had to start at some point....

Not saying Parker is the right guy here but he did call plays for the his last few games at WV and their production improved. I would still prefer a more proven option at the position.

This thread is on the verge of becoming a food thread in 3....2....1....

"Chief" is such an awesome word. Irsay Y time

It's right up there with "Sport" and "Slick". Chief being the worst. Definitely Irasy Y time!

I will note that in this scenario, MFMF is absolutely Gandalf.

He's gonna have to head coach the shit out of this situation and save Parker's ass. Gonna ride in on Shadowfax with the bright light coming from his staff in the fourth quarter of the USC game, when the offense has failed but the defense can preserve a low-scoring win against an elite USC offense.

Then he's gotta find his Aragorn to take the offensive throne, and then lead a sortie at the Black Gate against UGA in next year's National Championship, winning against all hope.

Unfortunately it appears that Swarbrick is Wormtongue.

Losing to Marshall really should have been the most embarrassing thing to have been seen by this student body this school year.

Nope.

 

[ThePiombino]

I understand he wasn't respected enough to call the plays, so he wasn't really the OC there. ... hmmm

Lol wasn't "experience" a prerequisite? Settling on Parker is something West Virginia should have to do, not Notre Dame. Absolute embarrassment.

 

[irishfan]

Terrible take. The Patriots had an amazing defense for their first championship teams. Belichick is a great coach

BB is a great coach. But Brady led the league in TDs his second year as a starter and then finished 3rd in MVP vote his third season. He wasn’t carried past that first season.

 

[Giddyup]

I’m fine with Parker and a stud ol coach. Suck it up babies and let’s roll!

 

[IrishLax]

Could we have Brey be OC?

I mean, Hartman has gotta be Aragorn even based off looks alone.

What Freeman’s gotta find is a Frodo and a Theoden. Unlikely heroes

Based purely on experience Parker doesn’t fit the need. He may turn in to the next great OC, but I can’t see how he’s a legitimate option now given the entire staffs lack of play calling experience. But they apparently did interview him, so there’s that. Here’s to hoping it’s nothing more than MF being kind.

 

[Giddyup]

Chryst and Parker co-OC’s. Chryst qb coach. Parker gets the job once Chryst leaves.

Or we can stop acting like a mid program and just hire the fucking OC our HC wants.

 

[Giddyup]

Im just spit balling bimbo. Chryst would be the choice.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I would take Dayne Crist over Paul Chryst.

 

[Giddyup]

Hee haw!

Chryst actually was a very successful OC.

 

[domerfreak]

As frustrating as these shenanigans have been im really not surprised. MF should have been able to pick his staff when he was hired. Being forced to keep staff by the admin as a precursor to getting the job says it all.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Why does it have to be a guy from a big school?
There’s a thousand young geniuses in div 2 that can do the job. Instead of stealing someone let’s find the next great one.

@IrishLax this is some Dan Snyder shit here.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

@IrishLax this is some Dan Snyder shit here.

At least he would spend money.

Best analogy yet. God I hope he sells the team this offseason...

I’m sure TNdomer is on board.

With how he left the NFL I doubt ND would even entertain it.

Not at Notre Dame.
