Freeman has to go.

You watched yesterday's game? You think ND deserves to be in the playoffs? There's no coming back from that sh!tshow. Start looking For an experienced H/C & using the young QB's.
I certainly can’t argue with you there my friend. Lol.
But im a die hard fan and it’s pretty painful to think this season is over.
I’m holding on to a beacon of hope.

The season isn’t over. If we win out and show we’re massively improved on offense we’re still in the playoffs at 11-1. Still everything to play for despite this horrible loss but the margin of error is gone. We have to win convincingly next week and the week after. I also think Freeman has to take the cuffs off Denbrock and allow a QB competition focused on the vertical passing attack. Either Leonard can develop or he has to be replaced sooner rather than later. We’ll tumble in the polls, that’s fine. We have 10 weeks to recover. All that matters is that come December 5th we’re in the playoffs, the defense is playing lights out, and the offense is averaging 40 ppg over the last 6 games.

I just don’t give a crap. Freeman got all my get out of jail cards More than a coach should have because I like him n he recruits well. Not enough. He must be fired.
 
Bevacqua needs to open up the purse strings and get Urban Meyer to bring this program back to elite status.
Some fans have talked about that for years and it hasn't happened to this point and it will never happen.

Deaddirish , I am just venting my frustration with this game and the “ fools gold “ we’ve been given. My post wasn’t a slight at you. You’re a true Irish fan. As much as this sucks, this too shall pass. Just not fast enough. Lol
Amen brother

Because people hated Kelly for going 54-9 his last 5 years and winning 57 straight against unranked opponents, you have now have the guys who have been sitting behind they're keyboads, glazing Freeman for 2 years throwing him over the side. Meanwhile those of us who understand history, understand football and have some emotional maturity, were calling for Luke Fickell. Which if he was hired ND would be on it's way to the CFP this year.

The ND job has always been too big for a first time Head Coach, Faust, Davie and Weis were not stupid people, or bad coaches. They just had no frame of history of success to fall back on, when adversity strikes, so they panic. Freeman is no different. Mike Denbrock was in the CFP at Cincinnati in 2021, LSU won the SEC West in 2022, last year LSU had the #1 offense in the Nation, and the Heisman Trophy winner. So he forgot how to coach?

ND is going to have to figure a way to move on from Freeman, period.
Yikes.....

Fickell now 12 and 10 at Wisky

Sjb75 another one who wanted Freeman gone right here.

The Ole experience argument

Who gives a shit.

My point was about Fickell

Just a little shot at you because there was many posts about firing Freeman. I see some of the same on the paid site too

There's many more after I did a quick look

"No one"

The old Luke Fickell nonsense here. He's now 12 and 11 at Wisconsin and just fired his Offensive Coordinator.

And the ole experience argument....just a really dumb argument.

Just a really bad post, period.
 
11-1 will not happen. 10-2 , 9-3 , 8-4 probably won’t happen . Right now they need to figure out how to beat Purdue. ND could be 1-4 by the end of the month. Their offense is absolutely awful. You won’t win if you don’t score. This could be an abysmal season ahead. After that loss yesterday, there isn’t one game that you could pencil in as a win. This team is not that good. Players are overrated and coaches are as well. If they lose next week , then what ? As a player you have nothing to play for. Why risk an injury? Yesterday was an absolute disaster. Lose next week and you lose the entire season and program.
Yikes

Yup I own it. It sure didn’t age well lol. Season isn’t over. But hopefully 11-1 is the result.
At least you are owning it. However, the guy calling you out never owns his sh1t. He disappears for days when he's wrong.

I took every person who talked shit on for months. Took every one of them on one by one. Didn't back down or miss anything anyone said.

No matter how stupid they were. And there were some really dumb ones, including yours

Don't think I forgot about you pumping up that Auburn Tiger and LSU tiger offense compared to ours.

Don't get in your feelings now because Freeman and Leonard have the team fighting for a home playoff game

The vocal minority.

So what.

Compared to 2016 and Brian Kelly, it was barely a whimper:

FFS - are we really playing the “I told you so” game here?!?! On a thread that was garbage the moment it was posted?

Let’s all agree on a couple of things and move on:
1. The loss to NIU was horrific and inexcusable
2. The entire program has rallied to make sure it wasn’t repeated
3. BK is going to be fired, and deservedly so, at LSU. Fickell may not be far behind him at Wisconsin. Riley may be coaching for his job against ND in two weeks.
4. Freeman has grown, and continues to grow, into a remarkable head coach.
5. ND’s defense is championship caliber. Whether we win a playoff game will come down to the offensive progress over the next 8 weeks.

Oh, and @sjb75 - do yourself a favor and stop bringing up BK at every opportunity. It’s been 3 years since he took another job while in a recruit’s home.

I am curious.

When do you predict Brian Kelly will be fired?

I THINK it happens next year given the structure of his buyout. LSU will have to fundraise for it and it’s big enough it will take time. Only way it happens this year is if a donor comes forward to write a $60M check as I think LSU is still paying out Ed Orgeron’s buyout.

Lincoln Riley is owed 90 million if he is fired. USC is hiring a new President next July. You truly believe Riley gets fired if he loses to Notre Dame?

They could try to fire Linc for cause now. He got in trouble with the ncaa for recruiting violations. Not sure how real it is but it's being talked about

Will never hold IMO.

Those violations were minor.

Riley needs to beat UCLA, IMO. Badly.
 
You can't fire MF. He still will win the majority of his games. And because MF is acceptable given what the ND administration aspires to in football. And because no top coach will most likely come.

I like MF. Even if I no longer have faith he will become a top coach. Again, I don't see a better alternative.

I'll still follow the rest of the season...and still have fun. I just need to get over today's crap loss.

:(


Bump.

I have faith again.

;)
