Now that Lynch is gone, time for some reflection

[DomeLover3]

Oh, no I didn't mean financially I just meant functioning as somewhat of a real estate agent and helping her find a location that would be to her liking and within her budget

By functioning as a real estate agent, I don't mean performing that role for free, just simply being helpful...

Understand; sorry if I misinterpreted earlier. You were previously part of the Bang-Bang group - probably a natural reaction to assume you were implying something against NCAA regs

Haha! No problem.

I'm more concerned with the state of college football. Is it pro or is it college life experience. Are these kids being shown the correct decision process. Are they being taught accountability at the right age. Has a new industry burst upon the scene in reporting/recruiting/entertaining through college football. Can schools with the ideals of education/college life experience survive. Is Urban Meyer/Paul Finebaum/Tony Barnhardt/Saban/espn/Pete Carroll/ really the way we want to go. I was once one of the boys telling Notre Dame to roll up its sleeves and get dirty-now I've changed-I like the way my Irish are trying to do it. I like the idea of guys being made to adhere to a schools standards that are in the long run in their best interest. My taste for watching minor league semi pro football is diminishing very rapidly--honestly I dont like what I see. Mich will be the next example-watch 'em get real good real fast-Hoke knows how to play the game. Aaron Lynch is not as important as how this system has imploded. Last thought-how can a young guy from a no $$$$$ backround be interviewd with a diamond in his ear and be playing college football. Dont let your eyes be deceived-its broke and needs fixing.

95% pro, but then there are schools like ND that do it the right way, but schools like ND are few and far between.. it's a pro game, more professional than the NBA's D-League lol

95% seems quite high. I think most schools run their programs the right way (or at least try- you can't enforce everything).

I think the Sheppard and Lynch issues are indicative of a much larger issue. I would be willing to bet that BK's personality and coaching style are what turn a lot of recruits off as much as homesickness and whatever else. The man is a good coach, he's proven that everywhere he's been. However, he's also a very temperamental one...apt to blow UP on someone on the sideline on national TV for small errors as much as big ones.

I think that BK will be able to turn the Irish into a respectable on-field product again, and certainly manage the program off field as well (we won't see him crashing any motorcycles anytime soon). But, I do not believe he will make them a serious national power in the mold of a Nick Saban, Bob Stoops, etc. He's just not that type of guy. Yes, he's a proven winner...and he's done very well at his coaching stops in the past.

But, I think if you look at coaches out there in the landscape of college football in terms of grades, he's a B+ type of guy. The heavyweights...Saban, Stoops, Meyer, etc...those are A+ coaching hires. Just being honest. No one nationally, when we hired BK, was like "Oh crap...watch out for the Irish!" It is what it is. Problem is, and I've always said this, because of the extra things associated with Notre Dame (academic standards, religious base, intense media pressure) I do not feel we can get an A+ guy anymore. It's too big of a career risk / pain in the ***. Urban proved that.

I agree with this 150%!!!! Well said bro. It's like you are in my head.........GET OUT OF MY HEAD! lol

Well, that's the end of that.

It was the end of it a while ago for me...It sucks to lose his talent but Im happy to see his attitude go!

Yeah, but I was stupid enough to have a sliver of hope that he'd change his mind before the semester ended. Whatever - good riddance. He'll never be heard from again until NFL draft talk starts in a few years.
