If true, he’s definitely lost his team. Not that he had it to begin with (2-6)

 

[NCDomer1]

No, he has done wonders for Pitt. They will give him some more time

 

[Pennick4]

The guy is a horse's a$$. He is getting what he deserves.

Gezzz if true can't blame them

this is why coaches don't ever speak frankly in pressers. The guy shares some genuine thoughts for a change and now his job is on the line

There are politics involved in management.

How long would you work for an honest man that goes around saying, “It’s my fault Director, I hired these idiots.?”

I would prefer honesty/the truth over fake politeness 110% of the time

Yes and no. There’s a way to put things without alienating your team.

If Al Golden leaves he is a great defensive coach just saying. They showed a stat that Pitt was top 10 against the run almost every year since he has been there.

One bad quote isn’t going to cost Narduzzi his job. He’s done well at Pitt.

For 10 years at ND, Brian Kelly would blame everyone but himself for a loss. He survived a 4-8 season.

Teams aren't going to live by past merits when losing a lot. The Ville win is the only one worth mentioning. Then to disrespect your players when he demands respect from them is gonna lose your team's morale.

Golden will be a high level head coach again next year. I have flashes of Michigan rolling around in my head for some reason....hope I'm wrong about that.

When I read that quote, first thing I thought of was D-bag big game Brian

I agree with this—Pitt’s had a bad year for sure, but he’s coming off of two great years relative to where Pitt is at.

 

[BaldyNd]

Kelly never had ND players reacting the way the Pitt players were on Twitter

 

[Irish Luck]

He should have said he lost a lot the last 2 years and the coaching staff didn’t do their jobs preparing the next group. We have a lot of talent that we mismanaged and we will work our tails off to rectify that moving forward.
Think he meant something like that, not that he needed to go to the portal or request better. Just came out of his mouth wrong.
Of course he may be. Complete dbag and I’m just giving him too much credit.

How did F+ miss the Okie loss to Kansas, the PSU debacle against OSU, the big ND win over USC…?

Zero chance he even entertains an offer from Notre Dame

Not so sure Golden will be in a rush to leave ND. He has been head coach of a Power 5 team before. He might like what he is doing here at ND and working with MF. Never know.

 

[Pennick4]

The guy is a putz

zero chance he would get a sniff from Freeman.

Pay the man

I want Golden to stay but if he leaves in not going to be too concerned about it

Yes, but with Kelly there would be retaliation. I'll never forget the "execute the players" slip. 😂

 

[sjb75]

John McKay of USC coined "execution.".

"What do you think of your team's execution?" "I am in favor of it."--John McKay.

I would be very sorry to lose Al-----excellent DC and our guys seem to have picked up his system quite well.

If he goes to the NFL or gets a HC opportunity that's understood but I would hate to lose him to another CFB Program as a DC.

The only reason Al would take a lateral position (I would think) is the program of choice would be primed for a new HC after a year...and that would be the arrangement. Other than that, he would opt for a HC job at a P5 or back to the league. IMO. His stock is up right now. That matters.

Good

I’ll be honest. Your schtick is pathetic. Move on

I'm still worried about how he will do when he doesnt have a ton of veterans

The defense didnt look the same when JD and Brown went out

He relies on his veterans. Guys like Sneed look lost sometimes.

I think Mickens could be a star. You promote him to DC and you get a recruiter at LB coach and you could have something

I was just going to point that out: Some people know how to tell a joke, some people don't. McKay was among the former; Kelly among the latter.

 

[NDblitz]

Kinda funny though Deion made worse comments yet nobody is talking about him negatively.

 

[NDblitz]

"The big picture, you go get new lineman. That's the picture and I'ma paint it perfectly."

 

[BaldyNd]

That was just a bad joke at the expense of the players. Cringey but not as bad as plain as day saying that your guys aren’t good enough

 

[buckey]

Look for players to lay down against fsu

its not politically correct! ESPN loves him.

 

[Irishjohn68]

You got that right.

 

[HDK]

You got that right.

It might be more correct that his players love him. His players haven't called him out like Narduzzi's did. Without that, there'd be no story.
