GAME Marshall @ 8 ND - NBC

You're right on that. Jack Swarbrick, who made Kelly his guy, was unprepared for that move. Hiring Freeman was to save the recruiting class, which he by and large did. I don't think Al Golden is a bad hire, and some of the offensive position coaches will be alright, but Rees only knows Brian Kelly's offense and is not terribly creative. Harry Heistand is a good OL coach so I am puzzled by how horrible they are playing.

This isn't a place to learn on the job. I still think Freeman can be a good coach, but man he had better start shaking things up, but until they get a decent QB, there will be more of this.
Not trying to rub salt in it but the Domers have.....

Cal
at UNC
at BYU
Stanford
UNLV
at Syracuse
Clemson
at Navy
BC
at USC

I will give them Cal, UNLV, 'Cuse, Navy and BC. That's 5 wins. I guess they could 1-2 more.


6-6, maybe 7-5.
 
You should really visit ND Nation. They’re the most Id of the fan base. But the live game forum is members only.
I didn't see the game, thank God.

Is this coach gonna last more than one season?
 
They need to start benching people to make a statement. Sit Josh Lugg and Zeke Corell. Move Patterson back to center. Put in Kristofic or Spindler. Honestly can’t be worse than what they got now.

I wouldn’t give them Cal. Cal can play D. Frankly I wouldn’t favor them in any game but UNLV and Navy.

'Cuse and BC aren't very good. Cal isn't either.
 
Neither is ND
But, sheer talent? They should be able to rebound from this......Freeman may need to rely on his more veteran assistant coaches.

I’m seriously questioning that talent. The strength was supposed to be both lines. They have yet to show up this year. Buchner just isn’t that good and there’s no WR depth. The only guy playing his guts out is Tariq Bracy.
 
Someone needs to drive down to David Cutcliffe with a blank check to be an analyst/OC in waiting to un-fuck this offense.
 
Tommy Rees ... :puke: :puke: :puke:
 
On top of all this, Buchner is done for the season.

Maybe this is why Kelly took off.

The bright side is you have the best recruiting class on paper that you’ve had in years so you just need to hold onto those guys and hopefully this will be a positive showing them they will play quickly. If Freeman holds onto to this class then the future looks good. If he doesn’t then it’s a problem.

I did see where he changed the practice routine and had them practicing Sunday night. That’s pretty bold for a Catholic school.

That and the schedule I think. Let’s be honest, a lot of Kelly’s wins were manufactured. We beat the lesser teams consistently but got pantsed against any real competition. He saw the WR room, the QB room, and OSU Clemson and USC on his schedule and said see ya (yes I know to the SEC but $90M eases a lot of those concerns)

I’m worried about the class staying together and they’re still 2 years from getting a blue chip QB on campus (assuming Carr is all in). They whiffed this class by putting all their eggs on Dante Moore. Our two highest rated recruits decommitted Keely officially and Peyton Bowen Will any day now.
