I honestly don't know the depth of their searches, past and present. They won't pay the most, allow the most exceptions, etc. I'm sure they probably could have done better. I do think the Chip Long hire was a far cry from moving Chuck Martin to the other side of the ball and moving Mike Denbrock. Kelly might have had reach he didn't realize he had at ND and it took him too long to figure it out.
I think both Long and Sanford would count as external/out-of-network.
Correct.
Well that's what happens when your head coach is willing to talk to QB recruits...
Maybe BK realized the error of his ways, then overcorrected hence all the twerking with prospects on social media or whatever?
We were talking about nepotism in college football coaching the other day. The Athletic must read us.

Brian Brohm didn't join Jeff at WKU until 2016 after Jeff had already been there for two years. Brian played the HS and college game at a pretty high level then had some cups of coffee in the NFL and CFL. I'd take both at ND rather quickly before dudes like Dan Mullen and Tom Herman.We were talking about nepotism in college football coaching the other day. The Athletic must read us.
In college football, coaching and family trees often entwine — but should they?
Some coaches see hiring family members as a way to foster stability and continuity, but it also can become a source of controversy.
"Utah’s Kyle Whittingham, Kentucky’s Mark Stoops and Purdue’s Jeff Brohm have brothers in staff positions, and several coaches — including Rutgers’ Greg Schiano, Indiana’s Tom Allen and Kansas State’s Chris Klieman — have sons working as graduate assistants. Mike Stoops has worked for both of his brothers, first as a defensive coordinator under Bob Stoops at Oklahoma and now as linebackers coach for Mark Stoops at Kentucky."
Also, for parallels with Tommy, I'd forgotten that Skip Holtz was our actual offensive coordinator in '92 and '93. I guess no one cries nepotism when you almost win the national championship.
What? They don’t even have a QB in the ‘23 class. And to be frank, Angelli isn’t good either.
Yeah, not sure how you can call it an uptick when there’s literally no QB commit in the class.
You’re saying Angeli isn’t good based on what? Spring practice?
If he was at all good, he would be playing. Pyne is barely a D1 quarterback.
The guy’s a freshman, let him marinate a little.
It’s hard not to conclude that.
Buchner was playing due to his dual threat ability. He barely passed when he was in.
how do you know he hasnt even thrown a collegiate pass yet
nah TR doesnt have the balls to put in a true fr
His HS team didn’t let him throw the ball.
Look at his HS stats, they’re pitiful. Even worse when you consider he threw 1/3 of his TDs in 1 game vs a bad team.
He’s a low level Big 10 QB. Illinois or Minnesota would consider him a quality pick up, but he’s not good enough for the aspirations ND has.
He wouldn’t be 3rd string on Illinois right now.
And yet he’s got to be better than Pyne….right?
No, that’s what’s sad. Rees is so horrendous at his job, that Drew Pyne isn’t the worst QB on the roster.
Well your lofty Coaching Staff seems panicked at the notion of Angeli hitting the field. I get the sense they are convinced 100% that he isn't ready....
ND was tied to him for a long time but tried to recruit over him on a number of occasions. People got really frustrated by the fact ND was offering guys late in their recruitments (Ty Simpson, Drew Allar) and then trying to full court press after their decisions were effectively over. It sounds like it actually worked with Walker Howard but he didn't have the academic side ready.
At least Art can see over the line
