I'd take Barry Alvarez as our next AD. He certainly understands the landscape at Notre Dame plus he is very knowledgeable about everything NCAA since he has been a long time AD at Wisky.
Barry Alvarez as ND's AD.
- Thread starter Irishjohn68
- Start date
Alvarez will turn 70 in a couple weeks. He has been at Wisconsin for more than 25 years. Why would he come to Notre Dame now?
Is this just wishful thinking, or do you have a reason to believe this could happen?
Oh it's wishful thinking. I am no insider at all. Someone on the other site start a thread on how successful he was as DC under Holtz and how he had carried that with him to Wisconsin. nd it just go me thinking that wow he would make a great AD at ND, IMHO.
Yeah you'll have to explain to me what is so delusional about that.

He was a great DC at ND, and he did parlay that into the Wisconsin NC job.
Alvarez would be great..
As far as playoff goes...we'd have no problem getting in. There is still a rating factor we impact. People loving or hating ...either way they tune in.
Last year we'd have gotten in. All Kelly had to do was get one extra defensive stop. But when the game is on a huge stage and very meaningful he gets exposed as a terrible coach.
That's fact.
I know it's not realistic to get Alvarez now. I was kidding about having a biased representative on this farce of a committee. Of course, it would've been great to get Alvarez after Holtz.
I'm not convinced Notre Dame would've been in last year without the loss to Stanford, Kelly's coaching in a huge stage, or any game really, excluded.
I'm not a big fan of so few people determining the playoff teams. I'd rather expand it to 8 or let the bcs system determine the 4.
Four is unacceptable.
First of all you have five self proclaimed POWER conferences which is bullshit. Just because they say it doesn't make it so.
Then you have the other conferences, independents...etc.
Only four teams? Joke.
There are teams in the American conference that nobody in the power 5 wants to play.
Western Michigan should be included IMO this year. Who wants to play them? Nobody.
BTW...don't think ratings don't matter? They do big time. If Alabama hadn't made it this year neither would have Ohio State. Saban, Meyer sells. Big time.
Notice how the big marquee match-up will be Clemson or OSU vs. Alabama. Notice how they just happened to make sure that one of OSU or Clemson would be in the title game against most likely Alabama.
So yes I firmly believe if Notre Dame can get close they're most definitely in because again people tune in to root for or against the Irish.
However I believe they will never get there under Kelly. And in the freak event they would ..he will fall flat on his face like every other big game.
He has no idea how to win. His in game critical decisions track record speaks volumes.
If he doesn't know how to win, nor will his players.
