Al Washington

[Golson5]

And that would be a step back from the last five years.

Are you talking recruiting?

 

[hoopsstar12]

Next year we will be 4-8. This year was Freeman's ceiling.

We land a portal qb , if freeman’s Rees and golden do bad we’re 8-4 again … 10-2 is bar

I thought you were done here? What, you're not a man of your word?

Do bad....what are you "like" 12

 

[Get Nasty]

Do bad....what are you "like" 12

terrible coaching or bad coaching, "like" this year, we're probably 8-4 again

If we land a good portal QB no excuse to not go 10-2 or better

We'll be playing 3 top 10 teams...so if this was BK and his track record against top 10 teams...he wouldnt be going 10 and 2

I think BK would be 10-2 vs our schedule next year with a solid QB.

I dont. His record against top 10 doesn't lead to that

 

[88ND]

there's a reason our Rush D has been getting worse the last 2 years and especially this year, some of it coaching, some of it dline, some of it lbs.

And A LOT of it is scheme.

Look at this year only. Golden made a decision and can't say it's the wrong one but chose to go into a bend but don't break scheme.
In other words play the odds that teams can't help themselves and will pass the ball no matter what.

What happened.

They passed the ball. Can't help themselves.

 

[sjb75]

I dont. His record against top 10 doesn't lead to that

And Marcus Freeman's record at home against Stanford and Marshall is why Notre Dame is 8-4.

Your criticism of Kelly isn't matched by your criticism of Freeman.

With you, Freeman gets a pass.

I was one of the bigger Kelly supporters on the board

Now I am one of the biggest Freeman supporters. I'm going to defend him from people talking stupid

Make a futures bet because you‘d get some very nice odds on this.

I am factoring in losses to NC State and Wake.

Terrible coach. Terrible recruiter. Ohio State knew it.

Who do you repl him with ?

Names !

Well we pay coaches unlike players so take your pick. Take any of the top 40 defensive line coaches based on production and pay him.

 

[mec22]

I would but I wrote it down and accidentally left it at your moms house.

Were you there to get a diaper change?

Every college pays coaches !

You want to fire him so tell us, specifically, who you would replace him with.

Don’t just give us a nebulous general answer, tell us the names of those coaches who are available, who would leave their current job to come to ND.

AND before you do, consider that if you throw money at your candidate, you’re going to have to restructure your entire compensation schedule for all of the other coaches.

So go ahead genius, since you’re so intent on firing him, specifically, who are you going replace him with ?

Or, are you just another loud mouthed fan who doesn’t understand what’s involved ?

Why would I do the work? You're telling me Al Washington is the best? Again, this should be an easy process for the coaches. I'm not Googling the best DL coaches that are over achieving at schools like Marshall. If you want to do that go ahead. There are about 50 or more that would love to be at ND.

 

[47WimanND]

Freeman had to put a staff together quickly due to the circumstances of Kelly leaving, etc. I'm sure that as the HC his kob includes evaluating the performance of his assistant coaches. This will be a process and I expect the staff to change over the next couple of years.

 

[hoopsstar12]

You will see
One thing is for certain. You will always my biggest fan

I never stated that Al was the best, so why are you creating a FALSE narrative ?

You keep generalizing with nebulous references to better coaches, but you never identify who they are and if they would leave their current position and come to ND.

if there are 50 or more viable candidates you should have no trouble naming a dozen or so !

I’m not looking up anymore. There are plenty. He had the 6th best rushing defense and beat ND ass in the trenches.

That’s your answer, a MAC coach never tested against the likes of Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, USC, Michigan, Texas A&M, Miami, FSU, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Michigan State and others ?

You’re great at complaining about situations but you never offer viable concrete solutions.

If you’re going to fire a coach because you don’t think he’s good enough you’d better have his replacement waiting in the wings and ready to take over.

He beat ND. Freeman can find better. It’s part of the job. Calm down old man.

He did ?
All by himself ?
Or did ND’s 3 turnovers play the major role ?

That’s you criterion for hiring someone ?
He beat ND ?

How‘d he do against Bowllng Green, Troy, Louisiana and Coastal Carolina ?

 

[Get Nasty]

Rumor that Aiden gobaira transferring….

If true Washington has to go with him

He was only player I thought could develop into a consistent pass rush specialist on the roster

He just always bitches about the next best thing he has no idea what goes into making changes at major coaching spots and developing a QB.

Just a whiner.

 

[Tru2Irish]

Vernon is a high floor kid even if his ceiling isnt as high. Hes huge and long. Solid athlete. High floor kids are still valuable. Hes better than a Hinish who was valuable and playing on sundays

Houstan is another high floor kid. Very solid, some think hes underrated

Mukam has an extremely high ceiling. Traore has a high ceiling as well

Zinter is getting taller and putting on weight. He can be a steal. We'll see there.

5 guys of that caliber is really good. Is it elite? No. But its really good

Last 2 classes

Vyp - Burnham, Gobaira, Zinter
DT - Houstan, Hinish
DT- Ford, Vernon
DE - Traore, Mukam

You can win a lot of games with that group. It's deep

Vernon can be as good as the DE who played at Michigan last year and the one at Purdue a year or two ago.

He isn’t like either… he is significantly bigger/thicker, not as athletic and I don’t see the relentless motor both have….. he could be a good SDE but I don’t see him being a dynamic pass rusher or even close to that … I don’t even see rylie mills potential with him. But I don’t see him being that type of player like Hutchinson or karlaftis, he’s already a good bit bigger than both, who know maybe could grow into 3 tech

Elston might be out of a job soon. Just a thought.
