5 must have qualities in NDs next head football coach

[chaseball]

1. Players over coaches, players over plays
2. SELL OUT for recruiting, understand the sheer importance of having a roster full of the best athletes in the country
3. Create an attractive/popular/trendy brand of football that resonates with the nations best prep stars out of high school every year
4. Be remarkable / differentiate / capture national media attention (e.g. think Kiffin with his twitter account trolling Saban, or Harbaugh being a member of a high school football chain gang, etc.)
5. Be highly analytical and have a firm understanding of data trends/next gen statistics/sabermetrics in football (e.g. the work being done over at footballoutsiders.com)
BONUS: Demand the highest pay among assistant coaches. Make NDs coaching staff the envy of college football again/a destination job not a springboard for another program who actually rewards their coaches.
BONUS II: Demand a recruiting staff that rivals that of Ohio State & Georgia where some 100+ staff members are involved with scouting and recruiting talent.

this isn't 1960 anymore.

the days of head coaches being stereo typical middle aged hard @sses who runs players into the ground/barking at their assistants/behaving like drill sergeants (e.g. Brian Kelly's style) are long gone/ in the past

 

[justified1]

You know that is never going to happen at ND. And in 2022, do you even know how college football might be governed of if it will even exist?

Sounds like you described saban right there. He’s doing pretty well.

If you say/post it enough times, maybe it will come true!!

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

 

[ivan brunetti]

If you have the "highest pay for assistant coaches", that means you are going to churn through a lot of OCs and DCs as they get offers to be head coaches.

Who knew Pee Wee Herman was a ND fan?

 

[ivan brunetti]

I was traveling into the future a bit. I assume the OP feels that the highest pay will attract the highest quality after a time. It is difficult to find an excellent OC or DC who will stick around for even four years.

actually that response should have been to the OP. you make a valid point though.

Yes, the CFB Hall of Fame for his Pinstripe Bowl victory over Rutgers

1. John Harbaugh
2. Jeff Brohm

if he ends up with almost 300 career wins he very well may. one NC would likely cinch it.

1. John Harbaugh
2. Jeff Brohm

less than 5% chance on both.

I don’t remember that game. Are you making that up?

 

[Toby Smart]

A Pinstripe win over Rutgers is better than a Pinstripe loss to Rutgers. Don't hold your breath for 2018 though, because according to pundits who know everything about everything,, it's Bama, Clemson, OSU and/or Georgia. So, either it's back to the Pinstripe or, everyone just "call it" for the season and just watch Bama, OSU, Clemson, and/or Georgia grab all the headlines. Realistically, it's kind of frustrating.

I really had to Google that memorable win. But, a win is a whole lot better than no win.

I don't really pay attention to the random ball-busting that comes with posting a dissenting opinion on this site. But this actually made me laugh. LOL

Lol... you just described Saban, Urban, and Dantoni... that coaching style isn’t necessarily in the past. Can you get the best out of your players or not? That’s all that matters. Brohm gets every last drop out of the talent he has, plus he is a great recruiter. Good mixture of hardass and young hot shot type. Purdue with their brutal schedule will win 7 games and he’s gone

 

[bizzybecknd]

Not sure I'd say Purdue's schedule is brutal.. maybe for them but if UM or OH St has that schedule (which they basically do) its soft as Twinkie fillin.

He can take Long's job if he leaves for a head coaching job.

coming off a ten win season with a lot of quality players returning why shouldn't expectations be high ? aren't yours ? oh, i forgot, no dex , no chance.......

If ND falters in ‘18, it will not be the fault of the RB position.

2021 is a long way off and this year team is going to win 10+ games. Brohm ain't happening.
