Is Marcus Freeman already getting fed up with ND brass too?

“Just read…”

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Especially unsubstantiated NIL figures.

I just read ND should be ranked ahead of PSU because ND beat Purdue by a wider margin than PSU beat Purdue, even though both teams blew out Purdue.

Along with us if we play better against SC, yes it will be a factor. Absolutely

I didn't realize you were on the committee. Does ND deserve to be ranked ahead of PSU? I believe ND is a better team.

If you look at what the committee looks at which is strength of schedule and NOT margin of victory between common opponents, you would see that no matter which service you look at, PSU has a fairly significant better strength of schedule than ND. Therefore there is no reason for the committee to place ND ahead of PSU, unless PSU loses to Maryland this week, that's the reality.

They look at everything. They don't just look at 1 thing. Common opponents used to be a bullet point for the committee in every segment when it was 4 teams. I'm sure it still is now.

They use many metrics to rate teams. We beat PSU in pretty much every single metric and a lot of SOS sites have us pretty close to psu except ESPN. Maybe that's your gospel I don't know. Maybe not.

But if you yourself look at their schedule and look at ours, very similar. Not much difference at all. Only difference is they played OSU

If you look at comparable sos, same record, common opponents, data metrics and the eye test we belong ahead of PSU. So does Georgia. They are a good team nothing more. We are playing better than them throughout the year

Common opponents is, but not if they both blew the same team out. 😂 you're a fool. Add in ND has a worse loss than PSU, that's also a factor.

Yes it is

After SC we will have 2 common opponents

Psu went to overtime and won by 3 points. They also beat Purdue by 39 and played their starters almost the whole 3rd quarter

If we show out better against SC and win and look better than psu that will absolutely matter. We beat Purdue by more and pulled our QB at halftime. We played better against Purdue than they did. Simple as that. We dominated them more than PSU

 

[THUNDERSTRUCK111]

We are competitive in NIL and Michigan will be average again next year

I’m not impressed with their coach either.

Will they Nil another sign stealer guy cause it’s the only way they can win now .

I can't believe how dumb you are, show me where the committee ranks based on margin of victory between common opponents as a data point. 😂 you are delusional, did you forget to take your meds? 😂 what a tool.

Just about every ranking show mentions how you perform against common opponents. Have you ever watched a selection show before?

You've got to be kidding me is right

What if the LSU finishes 6-6, the LSU football community completely implodes, they fire BK, and then hire MF. And MF takes the job, and is gone. For the same nominal reasons. It's just too hard to win a championship at ND. MF's recruiting is probably worse than BK's, at least as far as the rankings. Meaning, he's probably finding very good program fits, and the truth is he's recruiting beautifully for ND, but he just has to shop in a different aisle. That whole paradigm.

And so he's off to the SEC! That would be classic. Maybe we could promote Al Golden in that case. That might not be a bad consolation prize.

Might not want his kids growing up there.

There's projected to be as many as 12 NFL HC job openings this upcoming offseason and HC MF has been linked to some of these jobs as per NFL Network & ESPN

This should shut you up. MF is happy at ND, and unlike his predecessor who was out interviewing instead of preparing for the post season, he's preparing his team for the playoff games.

It's comical that anyone would read into whatever answer is given to these kinds of questions. Does anyone really believe a coach would say I will NEVER even consider another job? And then think they are being honest? Its a dumb question for any reporter to ever ask and the only reason to ask it is to get cheap clicks.

Now if a coach claims he is in his dream job and wants to stay until he retires, and then is shown sniffing around other jobs, then he should rightly be held up to ridicule
