ND was 11-1 under Kelly. This year they won't have a chance at 11 wins. ND moved too fast in promoting Freeman. They should let him go after the season and maybe he'll be able to cut his teeth on a Group of Five program that will undergo a coaching change for next season. Maybe he'll be a good fit at UAB, which has never been bowl ineligible since returning from the dead in 2017.

Youre being serious? This is Freeman’s first year as HC. He is a player’s coach, which is preferable to the cannon fodder type Kelly was. Kelly seldom ever won bowl games. Let Freeman install his system before begrudging him winning with a team he largely didn’t recruit. No coach is going 11-1 with this roster with Drew Pine.

I mean, Vrabel’s dream job is probably OSU and he’s definitely a culture guy. He used to call defensive backs who couldn’t tackle a pretty derogatory term in practice. As in, that was their position title. OSU All American with a former teammate along with him would be great but won’t happen. Tbh this is what most of us wanted 4+ years ago.

Had Notre Dame not been so hasty, they could have hired Urban Meyer after his firing by the Jaguars. And even though ND has never had a one-and-done coach before, there is a first time for everything.

Yeah Fickell would take the job tomorrow and Vrabel I’d think would at least think about it. Probably not this next year but anyways, they’re not moving on from Day. As right as some of the thoughts are today. So, maybe someday but not next year, one of these guys are on the short list.

He's wanted ND to hire Jim Tressel for the last 10+years. He wanted ND to hire Urban Meyer in September. And those are two of his more realistic ideas. 😬

I don’t know you well enough to know if you’re trolling

Day probably gets a talk about expectations going forward and then if this happens again next year is encouraged to seek an NFL job. He’s not going anywhere this year, which is a shame. He ain’t it.

Did he miss the dumpster fire Meyer revealed himself to be in the league? In theory it would’ve been a more exciting hire until he burned the school to the ground

Again I just have to laugh at LSU #5.

Its just so absurd.

It’s just a weak year imo. I don’t think there’s much special about most of the top 10. Especially Michigan.

I like him a lot as a dude and he’s a great coordinator type of mind but maybe not play caller. Can develop QBs. I dont think Stroud is a Day issue. I just think CJ has always been overrated because some of his flaws which show at times but really big time when the talent equates.

No. He can abide finger banging coeds, kicking kickers, belittling his coaches, lying, and anything else except that one thing Freeman is...

Also the way we run our offense, as I’ve said repeatedly, makes no sense when you have a QB that can’t improvise or run.

Vrabel has talked about hating recruiting as to why he left college a ton of times, they'd have to hurl money at him to make him leave a cushy and successful NFL job. And even then I don't think he'd be great at it because he hates recruiting.
