Just a terrible plan from Parker

[Patrirish]

Does anyone have Advil?

That said, I read nothing this poster writes.

I find him to be very erudite

Right, it can't and WON'T work at the highest levels.

This is a PROJECT.

Yes, Freeman is likeable, but I'd rather have a KILLER INSTINCT. It's not really his JOB to be likeable. He's supposed to win games.

Brennan and Faust were extremely likeable.

Didn't matter.

I don’t think it has anything to do with having a killer instinct.
if there’s one thing that LB’s have it’s a killer instinct.

Rather, I believe the issue is the lack of a high “coaching IQ”

Good point. Freeman is a high EQ low IQ coach.

His decision making ability is downright scary.
Which is going to be the hardest part of moving forward with him no matter how well he connects with recruits.

I think it's BOTH.

To me, at times, he looks both SOFT and LOST.

Go to bed, then fall asleep.

Do not sleep on Duke. They play FSU at their place this weekend. Let’s see how that turns out

Agree.

I hate to disagree, but what he is going through is typical new head coach material. ND has a top five SOS schedule right now according to ESPN. There is not a lot of room for error in these games. Other than Clemson at their place ND will be favored. If ND beats Clemson at Clemson and wins out than I would say ND has turned the corner

Elko is very good. Duke made us pass to beat them and Hartman had no one to throw to.

The favorite pre season criticism from analysts came true tonight. ND has no receivers for Hartman. With Thomas n great house hurt, we were exposed

Got to say Merriweather needs the bench. Try Braylon, can’t hurt. Tobias flat out is a disappointment.

If anyone got open our running g ad me would have opened up. We got lucky tonight

I realize our receivers can’t get open but Parker should have planned for that with some short game passing lanes to let Hartman dump the ball

We Won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine if we were 2 and 6 versus 6 and 2. This team will get better and better. The win over USC should demonstrate that these young men are fighters and will continue to be just that. Go Irish!!

The offense remains a concern !

You won't find a harder four game sequence then what we just played. 2-2 is actually the most common record based on the win probability.

 

[NDinNJ]

Yeah, right.

Have not read a word for around 3 years, and won't.

I read his comments when I'm retiring for the night. Always does the trick.

I don't think a top 3 legitimate NC contender would go 2-2.

I think Georgia goes 3-1 at worst, probably 4-0.

Interestingly, aside from Georgia, I'm not sure Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan are even in this category.

Even if UGA was a whopping 75% to win each game, the Dawgs go 4-0 about 31% of the time.
