How much money did ND save extending MF before he beat Georgia and made it to the final 4 ?
- Thread starter chaseball
- Start date
I believe it was reported that Freeman's extension has a base of 9 mil and with incentives over 10 mil so he is already one of the highest paid coaches in the country. He also got more set aside to pay ast coaches.
Mommy asleep again and letting you use the computer?
Oh, nah! Sounds like that guy got G'd up! You gots to get paid. You think he's going to donate any of this windfall back into ND's NIL collective like BK did? Probably not. ND doesn't even do NIL. I mean they do, to players already on the roster, but maybe the school takes care of all that, the priests. They don't really hit the portal in any case, and that's where you gots to pony up!
Brian Kelly only did so out of desperation. Get a clue
See, it's the snarky posts like this, and you wonder why posters insult you. You show again how little you know, and the fool you are, by taking unwarranted digs at Notre Dame, like they are doing everything on the cheap. You're truly the biggest idiot on this forum.
Wash,rinse,repeat. The shtick is SO stale.
I think that issue raises serious tax questions, if not ethical ones. Back in the day, Jim Harbaugh refused a big chunk of his salary as he felt he didn't earn it (and was under pressure). But there was not "constructive receipt" of that money. This is different. Receiving the money and returning it to some designated athletic department fund is a form of laundering. Whether or not that laundering is "clean" will be sorted out.
I’m sure they just sign a temporary renogiation of salary and the school then reallocates it per his wish. I wouldn’t believe coaches would be able to donate it like it’s charity or some sort of tax write-off. It’s definitely not charity.
We are in the semi final of the playoffs and he focuses on this nonsense.
You do realize that OSU is going to be a big favorite over ND because of their talent advantage right?
Making it to semi means zip.
Being the #2 team in the country when you are a blue blood is not a "win"
Winning a national title is the *only* win.
It takes upside. It takes having the #1 team in the country. ND is yet so close but still so far away at the same time.
The ONLY THING THAT WILL BRIDGE THE GAP IS BY RECRUITING/SIGNING/SECURING BETTER TALENT.
I don't get why this doesn't register with other fans.
Moreover, despite all of the great arrow pointing up feats in the program under Marcus Freeman, the talent level still has yet to improve in any way. ND is still in multiple talent tiers away from the top which makes their chances of beating teams like OSU who are in the tier 1 of talent (who also develop and coach the hell out of their players) *extremely* hard to beat.
THE TALENT HAS GOT TO IMPROVE AT NOTRE DAME THERE'S NO ESCAPING IT

Once again, you prove you are a damned fool. Why don't you wait until the game is played until you declare ND the loser? Seriously, WTF is wrong with you?
They already paid Freeman he is now one of the highest paid coaches in CFB
These programs have been competing for years before the actual game is even played and OSU has a big lead in the war already -- the actual game itself on the field represents only the last leg in the race (which will be reflected in the point spread and the low odds of NDs potential victory)
Hey, chump, games are won and lost on the field, not by recruiting rankings. Why don't you try to get that through your thick skull instead of spitting out F+?
You also said Georgia had a huge talent advantage over Notre Dame, your sh1t posts don't age well.
Coach Marcus Freeman deserves whatever he was offered and accepted! He's also proven his worth. Can you even imagine Brian Kelly's teams winning that game last Thursday? Coach Freeman is the best Notre Dame coach since the early Lou days. His demeanor reminds me a lot of Ara. He knows how to get that extra bit out of his players. Win or lose the Natty this year, he's proven his worth and should be around for a very long time.
Georgia did have a talent advantage, but Notre Dame had the production advantage.
In the case of a potential matchup vs OSU, OSU would have both the production AND talent advantage and would have advantages in these two key areas by A LOT.
With this information we can speculate that vegas will set an aggressive opening line in favor of OSU (probably in the 7+ point range similar to the opening line vegas gave Alabama over Notre Dame back during the 2012-2013 BCS championship game)
Yes.
This Georgia team is living off their brand from the last several years, but by all measures they are down this year. Its an off year. Not to mention they were an offense-leaning team this year and their veteran starting QB was out vs ND. But when you have the kind of talent they have, you still win the SEC championship during a down year. lol

Don't watch the game. You already claim to know which team is going to win, so find yourself something else to do Thursday night.
Then explain Texas barely scraping by ASU. Texas has an enormous talent and production advantage. More of an advantage than OSU does over ND. So how could ASU take Texas to OT? If not for a missed targeting call ASU beats Texas.
I like the way you are talking you are starting to speak my language
Anyway, to answer your question: you have to consider the impact small sample size and luck still have on the outcome of a single game
You sound like someone who can start profiting off some bets-- it's illegal in my state so I hope someone profits from this knowledge.
All I ask is that you buy me some hookers and blow if you win a lot of money and are ever in Cascadia 😁😆🤣

To add ...
When I talk about small sample size what im referring to is that sometimes way less skilled teams can mask just how far less skilled they are in a single head to head match but the skill will eventually rise to the top as the sample size gets larger.
This is why in other sports they play multiple games in a series to expand the sample size and allow the truly best of the two teams to rise to the top.
In football there is no series it's only one do or die game and because of that it adds a lot of unpredictability/variability to the outcome of the game regardless of how much better/skilled one team may be than the other which is also why I don't bet on football (essentially it's too unpredictable)

Even in sports that play a 5 or best of 7 series, teams with the best talent have lost more than they've won. You're really clueless when it comes to this stuff. Computers and formulas only go so far. There are many other factors outside of talent that impact games and their results. until you understand that, you'll continue to be clueless.
You aren't understanding some of the points im making but trying to counter the points anyway and its not working.
I'll just say this: when i refer to "skill" im referring to the opposite of luck im not referring to recruiting rankings specifically.
"skill" is what a team can effect/impact
"luck" is external events (events out of a team's control) that impact/effect the outcome of the game
"skill" is an all encompassing term in this case used to describe a programs production and talent.
The more quarters two teams play against each other, the larger the sample size grows and better the opportunity gets for the more skilled of the two teams (the more talented and more productive of the two teams) to rise to the top of the scoreboard and win.
In many college football games 4 quarters is enough to get *some idea* of who the better team is, but if you turned a football game into a best of 7 series (where potentially 28 quarters were involved instead of just 4 quarters), we'd DEFINITELY know by the end of the series who was the better of the two teams (and luck would play way less of a factor in determining the winner)
TLDR: In college football, because the sample size is so small (just 4 quarters), even teams in the FCS or G5 FBS can sometimes steal wins over much more skilled P4 teams by mere luck (the NIU vs ND game being a perfect example)
