VanGorder - New DC!

[ulukinatme]

Ok, when was the last time he was a good DC, at any level.

Worst hire at ND since Faust and Willingham. Are we still paying this hack?

 

[Irish#1]

Any wagers on if he and Bobby are terminated Monday?

Would be best for ND if both are retained until next season's game vs Irish, then fire 'em.

The most delicious ending would be him being retained until the Monday after the Notre Dame game next year because we just hung up 60 on them.

Ha, watch VanGorder make us look silly for most of the game ala Jon Tenuta in that Virginia game 2015.

Unless they can get someone that's unquestionably better, they should keep Bobby IMO. They need to kick Uncle Rico to the curb asap though.

Damn, reading some of these comments, just let it rest already. The end results are the price we all pay in our professional lives. We are healing the damage done with a fortunate hire in Lea. Van Gorder has his price to pay, but no need to drag the guy through the mud. The results speak for themselves.

Now, Elko... go ahead.

We weren't dragging the guy through the mud. Clemson was.

4 teams have dropped half a hundred or more on him. Uncle Rico is simply no bueno... Ranked 125th in defensive points per game... ouch.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Didn't realize that Petrino has 3 assistant coaches that are family. His son is the QB coach and he has two son in-laws on the defensive side of the ball. No wonder they hired VanGorder, he was probably the only applicant that was willing to take the job.

Petrino also has 3 "neices" in the front office.

Do they ride motorcycles?

Hmm - Clemson dragged him through the mud a few years ago when he was on the ND sideline too.

In the first quarter, yeah. But they finished with 24 points and less than 300 yards total offense in that game.

What's going on this year is at a whole different level.

Sheesh -- it was just an opportunity for a joke based on the weather that day...

I got where you were going, but with all the negative posters on this board you probably should have used italics.

Yeah, you're probably right. It's sometimes hard to believe this team is 9-0 based on the overall board's attitude towards this team.

I doubt it. His buyout would total about $12.6 million!

 

[irish4ever]

Bobby's that is.

 

[Irish#1]

I doubt it. His buyout would total about $12.6 million!

Except it goes up even more in the following years.

Whoops. Missed the weather reference, obvs. My bad.
For the record I think this year’s team is great, way beyond expectations, and maybe the best defense front to back we’ve had in 25 years. I have zero complaints.
If I were (for some reason) a Louisville fan, however, I would have many complaints.

 

[stlnd01]

How does that work?

 

[Irish#1]

How does that work?

Good agent? Not sure, I just remember hearing on the radio a couple of weeks ago that his buyout goes up.

 

[GowerND11]

I’m not here to necessarily defend Uncle Rico, but my god is the Louisville offense putting his defense is just horrendous spots right now.

 

[Irish YJ]

Do they ride motorcycles?

and that's not all... vroooom vrooooom

I’m not here to necessarily defend Uncle Rico, but my god is the Louisville offense putting his defense is just horrendous spots right now.

lol... and another turnover...

i get what you are saying, but regardless, uncle Rico is just not very good. wish him the best though. would love to see him get a job with USC or Stanford lol.

Team effort. Louisville has been getting more and more dysfunctional and hapless by the week.

People love to jump on our old friend Uncle Rico, but the offense has been nearly just as laughably terrible.

Like I said, Lamar Jackson covered A TON of problems with this team last year.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Lordy l ville is god awful

 

[Bluto]

That’s where I was at. Shit, you know your offense sucks when it’s a step in the right direction to get a three and out and an opportunity to punt as opposed to a turnover. Lol.

 

[ulukinatme]

Not only is Louisville very young on defense, two of their starters were out for this game or got injured I believe. I mean, having Uncle Rico isn't doing them any favors, but I doubt the ghost of Buddy Ryan could make that defense good.
