WHY IN THE FUCK IS HE BACK OUT THERE!?!?! Can they not see that he isn't good enough?

He's back out there because Kelly doesn't want to risk this year being a rebuilding year by going with an unknown at QB where they could go 8-4 or even 7-5. By bringing in Coan via the transfer portal, Kelly's thinking was we can go the "safe" route and be in a better position to win 10+ games for the 5th straight year.


Time for a Kelly to call it a career after this year. Program needs a reset.

Kelly ain't going anywhere. They shouldn't have extended him if they didn't want him. Also, the powers that be would be perfectly content even if we went 8-4 every single year. Kelly is here until the end of the 2024 season.

Coan with last year's line is likely the guy. Unfortunately, this line is just not good right now. You need a playmaker at QB. TB12 has to be the guy going forward.

Ah yes the important things

Really like your post, respect your football acumen on the recruiting side. Actual games are a different thing. And yes…it matters. Hell with coaches egos…first rule of coaching know your team.

Buchner is the better option to win more games. Doesn't have to be a rebuild. There's a reason Coan was in the transfer portal and not going to the NFL. He's just too immobile to lead a college football team. How are we going to win 10 games with him?

I don’t understand people that continually make up reasons Coan transferred. His timeline is zero secret.

First thing BK needs to worry about is getting ND to 9 wins. Because if I lose the 8.5 over bet, I'm going to be mad. LOL

Peacock just cut away from the pro ND portion of the halftime broadcast to go to. State Farm commercial.

If it’s Baker not Carmody you have to consider Buchner even more in the 2H. Pass Pro won’t be pretty if it’s Tosh

Why don't we just play the first drive on repeat all game? It seems like they come in having practiced all week for that one drive so just only do that.

I do think the D settled down but the 3 man front just look revolting.

A immobile QB is fine if you are slinging the rock,quick reads and manipulating the defense. Can’t run RPOs though lmao. Thought hat would be well understood by now.

The biggest problem is the OL. Look at those rushing stats for Williams and Tyree. They also can’t pass protect.

Everything else is secondary to that, but the lack of mobility from Coan exacerbates the OL issues.

Have to think if they yank Coan, it's gonna be for Pyne and not Buchner, right? Putting TB in full time means you're admitting this isn't a playoff team.

ND usually does really well on the first carefully scripted drives. Afterwards, though...

The Fighting Irish O-line is a huge issue. Could be a long season if this doesn’t tighten up soon.
