Only again at Navy, Duke, Virginia, wake Forrest, very bad USC and Stanford teams. A paper champion. Oh by the way Phil has almost the same amount of yards in the first quarter against a team with a winning record versus Book in an entire game. Keep on drinking that cool aide. To bad winning championships are not a goal at ND
Look at what Phil is doing with far lesser talent around him. If Book were on BC he probably wouldn’t start.
And he’s irrelevant. BC has no chance of doing anything. Phil can rack up stats and look great...who cares. BC games are meaningless. He had a chance to play Big Time College Football....was hard, so he opted not to.
He didnt play well today. Hes had some good games, some bad games. He has a big arm but cant run the ball. Phil nor Book are/were the answer
3 picks vs VA Tech. Is he going to blame the coaches for taking the fun away? 🤔
WInning the ACC and winning the National Championship this year are essentially the same thing. All roads lead through Clemson.
Maybe not, since BC apparently has the equivalent of Aaron Rodgers at QB.
How do you know that? He hasn’t been given a shot, neither has Pyne. Even if he is a younger Book, his ceiling is for sure higher and I’d argue a younger Book is better than the version we have now.
You'd be wrong about that last comment.
Louisville game? I would have replaced him last year after the Michigan debacle with PJ or Clark.
They also had 3 fumbles so 5 turnovers is not going to win. I like how the work in progress is second in the ACC in total yards. All I said is he would score more points and that did happen
it wasn't only on book, but he had played poor most of the year leading into that game with a good oline, stud WR, and top TE.
BK. His team. His responsibility. Two weeks to prepare. He should have self quarantined for a while just to dwell on what happened in Ann Arbor. The buck stops with him. Winning is hard. Losing like this is even harder. You'd figure that lesson was learned at Miami.
Why does anyone doubt that winning is difficult? D1 Football is loaded with great coaches and schools that throw tons of money into their programs, expecting to win. You have to be focused everyday, and committed to an excellent plan. Winning and sustaining success is damn hard, and anyone who says differently has never competed.
Everyday life is a competition. One's job is a competition. Just walking out of the house is a competition. Competition doesn't begin and end with athletics. Winning may be difficult at the D1 level but not sure you are going to hear the elite coaches make an issue out of it. They just do it. To say it then use it as a talking point is a crutch. Fans need not be lectured by athletes, coaches, or other fans.
Well said IrishMike. Too many "know it alls" here who have never put on a jock!
Absolutely agree w you: Athletes and coaches shouldn’t be lecturing fans. You’ve said it several times this year, and I’ve supported it at every turn.
You don't know anybody's personal life that post here. You don't know who played HS or college ball. You don't know if anyone excelled in HS. You don't know if anyone played D3. What do Paul Johnson, Mike Leach, Hugh Freeze, Charlie Weis, and David Cutcliffe all have in common? You wanna talk to them about never putting on a jock? LOL . Lots of incredibly successful athletes who went on to be really bad coaches.
Stop with the excuses for an above average coach that won’t win anything of significance. Michigan played in that same monsoon. This wasn’t the only thing. 11 years of data points. blow out losses, lack of wins vs anyone elite, zero major bowl wins. zero national championships, in fact hasn’t come close. Getting out coached time and time again by coaches with inferior talent. Case in point Louisville this last week.
ND should win 10 this year. BK will be the only ND Coach ever with 4 straight years of 10 win seasons. No matter how you spin it, it’s an incredible accomplishment.
Third graders would be embarrassed by this. But the hair pulling is as mature lol.
