You do not lose and lose and lose to inferior programs. I’ve had enough. He sux. And who the hell evsluates qb play? CJ carrr please
Freeman has to go.
- Thread starter theskibro
- Start date
Embarrassing Coaching Display. Unacceptable to lose to a team you out recruit at every single position.
Leonard just needs to transfer, like tonight. Angelie needs to start or hell go with Carr he can't be any worse than Leonard.
I’ve said from day one that I think Freeman is an awesome person but a coordinator and not a HC. I have been insulted for that a few times but this is further proof some of us were correct.
His decision to bring in LR and make him the starter is a self inflicted gun shot wound, just horrible.

I agree and don't agree you trot out Leonard next game I'm seriously considering agreeing. If he makes the change at QB for anyone else! I disagree. I don't care who it is.
I am beside myself. This crap again?
If freeman does not replace Leonard next week, he should be fired
Come on Bavacqua, show your gonads
This is why we get the Nd is over rated crap
Nah. I start Leonard next week. But…. Split his reps during the week with the #2.
He looked scared and nervous.
I completely agree.
It's best hope to salvage the season
Our backups should legitimately be able to beat them😔
I get ND has a young offensive line, but they handled a much better and more talented D-Line last week. There's no excuse for losing this game. It's hard to give Freeman another pass on this.
ND hired a coach to be its CFO who had zero experience Ala Gerry Faust & CW.

Except perhaps the O line. Jason Garrett was saying their O line were all Wisconsin kids and those dairy farm boys take a backseat to no one.
So many are trying to pin this on the QB when the WHOLE team pretty much failed today.
Just replacing the QB is not enough. This HC simply is not up to it. When you lose to a team that has basically almost no starters that would start for you, you have to look at the HC for the main reason.

He wasn't qualified for the job in the first place, and I, too, opposed his hire. But then, except for these almost UNIMAGINABLE LAPSES, such as today's, he's managed pretty well.
But YEAR THREE is always the decider.
Terry Brennan with no previous college headcoaching experience was 17-3 his first two seasons. Charlie Weis, also a first-time college coach, was 19-6 his first two years. Brennan then went 2-8 in year three and Weis, 3-9.
Unless Freeman can get up off the canvas, this could be a LONG YEAR, starting next week at Purdue which will now be chomping at the bit.
ND better wake up because losing to NIU means YOU CAN NOW LOSE TO ANYONE.
Georgia Tech lost today, so our strength of schedule gets even weaker. I think Freeman should get the year to turn it around. If we win 10 or 11 games, he should get another year. But no more losses like this one.
I don't disagree but, his worst decision was getting RL so that's on him. I like him but, he's not it!! You simply can't lose this game in year 3, he should be fired but, he won't cause' it would be a PR nightmare! The sleepy lords will delay the inevitable and ND in 3.5 hours went from #5 to no-man's land.
Leonard missed a lot of throws and didn't see open receivers. He hits on half of those misses ND wins by 2 scores. He's been inaccurate and has no arm beyond 15 yards.
But…but Golson said he was an NFL talent.
To be honest, we probably would’ve lost the Texas A&M game as well had Texas A&M not had the worst quarterback ever who could not complete a pass if his life depended on it.
Will not disagree. BUT we should have still beat this team rather easily and that is on Freeman
There is zero chance Marcus Freeman will be fired during the season.
My guess is that he'll get his full five years. ND is too invested in him as a NARRATIVE -- and perhaps even as a COUNTER-NARRATIVE to Kelly -- to bail on him.
He's had two good enough seasons, so that in the event that things were to go pear-shaped from here, he's probably earned sufficient good will -- in terms of how ND sees things -- to get the chance to redeem himself, should that becomes necessary.
Just as ND hates HUBRIS, it will always try its utmost to forgive a "sinner."
In other words, coaches who FLAIL.
And you think that was the only problem today.
Look at passing yards, rushing yards and TOP
Amazing how quick perception can change. A few hours ago we were number 5 with a bullet. And now...
Yes, but Leonard was brought in because he could not only throw but he could run. He's averaged 5.1 passing yards and averaged 1.5 yards running the ball.
I agree. But ND will never win the big dance with him. I understand he's a good guy, players love him, 6 kids, & the rest of the boxes are checked. He's in over his head. Remember he tried to say it was planned that ND had 10 players vs Ohio St. It's over.
