Texas A&M Postgame

[IrishBoognish]

this is freeman’s fourth season…. He’s significantly underachieved and had bad seasons 3 out of 4. I believe he needs to go, but I’d give him the season and force him to make a DC change immediately. If they salvage the season he comes back for 26 to see if he can actually lead the program.

Freeman is all talk but no accountability

n word let's head to the irsay y

Hobbs might be the worst ND player I've seen in decades.

 

[IrishLax]

I want to root for Karson Hobbs so bad since he was a diehard ND fan along with his dad, but he’s got Ambrose Wooden energy.

I'm not defending him, because he has been rouuuuuugh, but it's also beyond comical to me how many times he's being asked to cover the other team's explosive, #1 WR with little-to-no help out of the slot. Like what are they expecting to happen?

 

[Bane]

The best time to fire Ash was to have never hired him. The second best time is today.

 

[irishff1014]

1-3 and you're not going to be ranked.

They shouldn’t be ranked after this week

THIS. They lined Craver up in the slot the entire night to generate that matchup and Ash…did nothing…

Exactly. Ash is putting them in bad positions and they look confused every play. Every snap they're re-shuffling and guys are jumping and pointing. Whatever Ash is asking them to do isn't working.

They almost assuredly will be.

 

[calvegas04]

Has MF come out defending the coaching staff in a presser yet?

 

[Dizzyphil]

Well, at least I have open Saturdays the rest of the year....

 

[sfk324]

is Hobbs that bad or is he just confused because of Ash?

Yes

 

[MacIrish75]

Listen if you dumbasses are going to downvote posts, at least give me some sort of rebuttal or rationale on why you disagree.

Jags scout was his last gig whatever the fuck that is.

 

[IA4irish]

Yes, said no thought in changing play calling responsibilities

 

[FU BK]

Was just looking at bass tournaments the rest of the year...lol

 

[MacIrish75]

And the Jags didn’t exactly light the world on fire…so….

Yeah the first time you get burned by 10 yards on a fifteen yard crosser, thats on you. The sixth time? That's on Ash and Freeman.

Everything is fine or else,…

You’re absolutely right.

What made Golden’s defenses so good was the nickel. Bracy to Harper to Clark. This year it’s been awful and I’ll default to that being more on Ash than any particular player.

 

[IrishSpartan]

Hobbs was chasing the whole game

 

[Bane]

Oh good, so he's caught whatever coaching incompetence Ash has. Excellent.

 

[NorthDakota]

Lucky you. I have to go down for the USC game in a month and put on my happy face for a buddy who cant be more excited to see a football game at college football's cathedral.

 

[IrishSpartan]

He’s not going to just say that lol

 

[BeatSC]

Some of you didn’t live through the Gerry Faust era, and it shows.

How many of his teams were picked preseason top 5? ND has wet the bed. Coaches have been the biggest reason these games have been close. Of course the two silly ints were also a reason we lost both games. This team has been hyped and then some. The DL is weak AF! This is not a strong team at the point of attack especially on D. I have no faith in them. I will say if they win out they will be in as long as not Miami and A&M get to 9 wins or more. I feel bad for many of the good players on offense.

 

[MacIrish75]

What I honestly thought was we might be better off with Tae or Gray playing nickel and then having Shuler and Talich at safety or putting Zackery outside.

 

[ACamp1900]

We’ve lost three straight top 25 games,…. Period. Rationalize that all you want, if you’re talking about touching grass you’re not serious, if your life is ending you’re too serious, I’ve never been able to understand a middle ground but damn. Win fucking games

 

[IrishSteelhead]

This sucks.

It’s not a fun way to come off a magical season.

However, if you want a silver lining…..

Zero pressure rest of season.

Open up playbook and let Carr rip

Empty the bench and let the young guys get tons of meaningful reps

Seriously, there is zero difference between 10-2 and 6-6 other than optics in this new landscape.

Spend the rest of the year setting a foundation for next year.

Amicably part ways with Ash immediately after Stanford game, and immediately start zeroing in someone who isn’t a failure.

I enjoyed it all the way up to the 41st point.

Then I looked back and thought, “that was a crazy entertaining game!”

I certainly wish they held on though.

You have a good healthy attitude. Who’s your therapist?

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Hobbs is slow. That is the issue.

He really is not slow. He is one of the fastest players on the team. Like Love speed fast. Christian Gray was a 10.6 100 meter guy in high school. It just shows you there is track speed and then football speed.

Or unamicably (I know that isn’t a word bc the red line says so) part ways with Ash by dropping his ass off at Torch Lounge and letting him figure it out from there.
