Dabo Swinney to ND?

[Irish Wildcat]

First off, I fully support Coach Kelly. That being said, the administration generally doesn't take the advice of the fans. Should the decision be made to make a change, what is your opinion of Clemson's Dabo Swinney? Would he consider the job? Would he fit the program?

 

[NDSMC78]

Swinney's next move will be to Bama when Saban leaves.

 

[Irish Wildcat]

ND should be the next "Bama". We were the first "Bama". I'd love to get Dabo if a change were to be made.

Hell no

Swinney went to Bama. He is from the South. He knows he will likely be the top candidate at Bama when the job the opens up. He is not coming to ND.

nice Irish name; oh shoot, been there done that!

As long as he doesn't drop the ball at Clemson in the interim, Dabo knows where he's headed next. And northern Indiana it is not.

If and when Kelly leaves, there is excellent young coach by the name of Tom Herman.

Yeah, I don't see that happening either.

He'll be at USC shortly.

 

[Toby Smart]

Houston will match any offer USC comes up with plus some. The question is this. Take a chance to coach at one of the storied programs in college football or stay in your comfort zone , earning big bucks, at Houston. If Tom decides against coaching at one of the most storied programs of all time, he then can choose between USC or stay at Houston.

Huh! Meyer , Saban ,Sweeney are great coaches ,but could they overcome ND entrance requirements. Maybe Saban and Meyer would have been able to recruit and perhaps sway top qualified athletes like a Ben Davis(Alabama) ,Caleb Kelly(Oklahoma ) and others toward ND .There are 5- star difference makers( not all,but more than some ) that commit to state universities that would gain entrance to ND .

No way Sweeney leaves the South.but Saban in a few years may want a challenge ? Imagine . Is there a coach out there that could bring ND all the way back?

 

[Irish Wildcat]

I see Saban coaching Bama for another 10 years. At this point I really don't see any obvious candidate. My hope is that Kelly starts winning the big games and wins a championship but he's been given plenty of time with little results.

 

[Bodizephax]

Hell no

DIP would rather have Charlie Weis as the next Irish coach.

Doubtful. Saban is almost 65 years old.

Not ever going to happen.

That's about as accurate as all your 12 -0 predictions

I was right in 2012 oldtimer ! Wrong in 13,14,15 and 16. So that would make me 20 per cent correct in picking 12 and 0 seasons which is pretty damn good considering ND had not been 12 and 0 since 1988. Charlie Weis 100 % sucks so you are behind a loser.

What drugs did you take today to make you post such an idiotic question?

Behind?

Or should I say even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile but you are not as right as a broken clock

 

[RTLH]

His players get paid and don't have to worry about academics. Don't know if ND will adhere to that

[Irish Wildcat]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[Izo]

Well if Saban is 65,Meyer is not going anywhere, Sweeney will stay in the South ,and I honestly don't know if Tom Herman would leave Houston when it joins the Big 12 (Texas, Oklahoma , Baylor ,TCU,Texas Tech,etc) . Other post is right ,Houston would probably pay Herman enough to make him one of the highest paid coaches rivaling Meyer, Saban,etc

 

[MTIrish98]

Check this out -- an answer to the original question!

I like Dabo, but I think he'd only leave Clemson for Alabama.

He might be an OK fit, but I'd be luke warm to the possibility.

You have proven to be a fool. Run along now, with that tail between your legs.

Alabama is obviously a great job, but why would Dabo leave Clemson for any college job? Clemson supports their team as well as anybody. I've never been there, but I here it is beautiful. He can win a NC at Clemson and maybe easier than 'Bama. The ACC is easier than the SEC.

Uh, because he is a Bama alum.

 

[57Patrick]

I recognize that, but he has a sweet deal at Clemson. Going home isn't always best.

Never will happen. Clemson is becoming another FSU. As far as Houston coach no ND will never hire another great coach. At least not until enough ND fans say enough and there are empty seats or a new president and AD are hired

You asked why he would leave Clemson. I gave you a reason. A very good reason.

Yep. ..recruit just as hard as Kelly...plus some...

Then win some odd defying games and no matter who you play always in the game contending to the end.

Oh and a coach who doesn't call timeouts to punt, goes every sets on first and goal from the six...hires a coach based on ability over being a ****ing BFF

Notre Dame in all reality is not far from the top.

BTW...I'm sick of the admissions excuses. Stanford has no ****ing problem with it. Other schools have high standards too that nobody talks about. It's like people have resorted to this shit to excuse the ****ing mediocrity of our program.

And BTW...it's not like ND and Stanford are the only ones tough....you act like every other school is so easy to get into and no other is like us. GTFO....
It can be done. Win some games and it'll start recruiting by itself too.

 

[SwlaDukie]

It seems like Wisconsin competes hard every year with far less talent than ND, Stanford, or Mich. St. They develop talent who are really underated. JJ Watt was a 6'6" 210 lb 2 star recruit when signed by Wiscy. ND needs their strength and conditioning coach, cause ND's players look slow and fat especially along the defensive linee and offensive line. Hire LSU' s defensive coordinator once Les Miles is finally given the ax. Get someone off the Barry Alvarez coaching tree to bring some toughness back to ND. The last time ND won a National Championship Coach Alvarez was the DC. The offense can produce the points, but the defense has to many talented players to play with this lack of awareness and toughness.
