Parker is
- Thread starter Pennick4
- Start date
I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, but didn’t Freeman simply say, “I’d like all of our coaches to be back next year.” ?
Part of me hopes that means that he wants Parker as the TE coach haha

Personally, think this is still to be determined. Give him the tools for an effective passing game, and then we’ll see how he game plans and adjusts.
So we won 9 games this year.
You said we have an easier schedule next year.
But you expect him to get worse... that's odd
This is the 2nd highest scoring offense we've had
You know damn well Gerad Parker is challenged as an OC.
No I don't. I think the offense put up a ton of points except against the top defenses on our schedule
It's been that way for the last 15 years. Tommy did the same thing. So did Chip. Etc etc.
Except this offense scored more than those. Why wouldn't he get another year when those guys all did?
I don't give a shit what they scored, the offense sucked, and you know it sucked.
My biggest complaint about Parker wasn't necessarily his play calling but his play designing. Not a lot of creativity. Wasted Tyrees skill set.
It sucked against the best defenses.
Just like the previous OC did, and the one before him, and the one before him, and the one before him
Last year we scored like 30ppg. This year we scored 39ppg
And averaged 19 against Ohio St., Clemson, and Louisville, with a sixth year QB who started a bunch of games..
ND’s offense finished the season averaging 39.1 points per game, the second-most in school history (second to the 1912 team).
ND’s 6.95 yards per play on offense ranks as second-most all-time (second to the 2015 team).
Parker may not be that good, but that ain’t bad
Yep. That's why I mentioned that like 3x more
Just like the previous OC, the one before him, the one before and the one before him
So why wouldn't Parker get another year when they did?
The Notre Dame offense averaged 19 against Ohio St., Clemson, and Louisville, with a grad transfer QB who started over 50 games.
Gerad Parker is a challenged OC.
Understood. I would add that the Duke game makes your argument as well as any. The scheme vs Duke was infuriating and ND was incredibly lucky to win that game.
Nonetheless, we as fans can not analyze a process (practice/breakdown of in game and post game film) we can not see.
All we can see are the final results. The final statistics on this offense are not bad (unless you cherry-pick with bias)
Number one criteria for a good oc - having a solid game plan and a backup ready if that plan doesn’t work
Parker failed with this multiple times starting with Duke, Louisville and Clemson. Each game they stuffed box n blitzed and Parker was clueless. He sucks. He needs to go. And freeman is risking his reputation on this guy

Kelly kept Rees, Chip and Denbrock and they did the same things
What's the difference now?
It's so strange that you dislike one guy for doing the exact same as a guy you're basically in love with did.
If I said the opposite of what I said you would have disagreed with that also. You just want to argue with everyone.
Against whom ?
Lopsided scores against weak teams skewed the stats
Yes i know. As I've stated multiple times now
Just like our previous OC and the one before him and before him
Why is everyone stating “the offense” put up 39ppg. The team put up 39ppg.
We had how many defensive and ST TDs this year? 6 or so?
We scored how many touchdowns with our backups in against TennSt, Pitt & Wake?
What I want to know is how many 75+ TD drives did we have against decent opponents?
We scored 48pts against an abysmal USC defense with 250 yards of offense. I realize a lot of the drives were set up on short fields but we had 6 drives of less than 30 yards of offense, and i didn’t include the short 2 yard TD drive.
Using team scoring to justify the offense is an incredibly skewed way of judging the production.

Every team has non offensive TDs every year. We had a lot last year.
You'd have to go back and look at all them if you are going to use that against this one
That was all for optics. He's not going to publicly state he's firing or replacing anyone. Hence why Stuckey got his walking papers today.
