Not trying to be a smart ass here, but ND did not get blown out Sat. That was a very competitive game. At times ND looked the better team. This is a young head coach who we think at this point is a pretty good recruiter and a staff, some carryovers and some 1st year hires. This team looks nothing like the clown shows out west. This is a good team, fun to watch.And Deion changed coordinators this week. So Freeman needs to really do some thinking.
He Grinch, the was a tough fire, A real nice guy, liked by the players. a shame he is a bad coach.
Other than Estime's hard work ethic. This offense is hard to watch. Not because of the wrs either. It is Parker's game strategizing or lack of it. He is over his head against top notch teams or even decent teams like Lville. Freeman needs to make a move and not put friendship first. Look what happen to USC because of that. This coulda been a big year for them too. I feel for the players that put an effort in this season because they were given a weak OC. That's the plain truth.Not trying to be a smart ass here, but ND did not get blown out Sat. That was a very competitive game. At times ND looked the better team.

I don’t get the venom at this early stage, so maybe someone can elaborate on it??
There are some very good teams out west. It’s not so much that ND lost, it’s how they lost. This is a better team then Clemson yet got out played and out coached. My frustration is with Swarbrick, why hire a head coach with no head coaching experience? Freeman was in over his head yesterday.Not trying to be a smart ass here, but ND did not get blown out Sat.

He was in over his head yesterday but he beat that coach and team like a drum last year with less experience..... it has nothing to do with experienceThere are some very good teams out west.

Firing Grinch before Christmas seems like a good moveAnd Deion changed coordinators this week. So Freeman needs to really do some thinking.

I don't agree with the characterization or implication that Freeman put "friendship first" in hiring Gerad Parker. Freeman's first choice for OC was Andy Ludwig, but that hire got botched. From all that I have read, that is on Swarbrick, but I suppose we may never know the full story. Freeman hired Parker because he got put into a corner. From everything I have read about Parker, he is smart and hard working. But like everyone else here, I have been disappointed with ND's lack of performance this year on offense. Our defense certainly has played well enough for us to win every game. But are the offensive struggles on the coordinator or on the players? I was thrilled with Hartman's play early in the season, but he has underwhelmed the last couple of months. Our OL has been hit and miss. For the most part, our WR play has been below average. Are we struggling on offense due to play design, scheme and in-game play calling, or because we don't have the horses? I am not smart enough to know the answers to that, but it will be on MF to figure it out.
Well, recruiting I would say he is just below excelling in.There are some very good teams out west. It’s not so much that ND lost, it’s how they lost.

Combination of factors TBH. Freeman's Jim Tressel approach to football might also be a major factor.I don't agree with the characterization or implication that Freeman put "friendship first" in hiring Gerad Parker.

There is something about emotion with focus. Clemson was playing for its season.There are some very good teams out west. It’s not so much that ND lost, it’s how they lost. This is a better team then Clemson yet got out played and out coached. My frustration is with Swarbrick, why hire a head coach with no head coaching experience?

It has everything to do with experience, but you keep telling yourself it isn’t. Maybe Pat can explain it to you.He was in over his head yesterday but he beat that coach and team like a drum last year with less experience..... it has nothing to do with experience
