Marcus Freeman = Jon Scheyer

Id rather play 2 top ten teams 1 non p5 and 11 unranked opponents over 4 ranked teams and 2 top 10 p5 teams any day

Anyone who thinks the first one is more difficult needs to rework their formula.
i agree with you that this years schedule was harder to go 12-0 than last years... agree 100%

But this years schedule was also easier to go 8-4 than last year.. both can be true with the formula. The formulas for SOS don't say which schedule is hardest to go 12-0, it's who played the toughest teams game in and game out full season.
 
Zero possibility of having a rational discussion here. The old saying. Throw sh*t against the wall and see what sticks. That applies here on this thread..
i think scheyer and freeman are a really good comparison... There are a lot of people that are super high on both of them and expect them to be the next great coaches. With that said, freeman had some shocking big struggles at times this year, and Scheyer has some major issues with his HAND PICKED team this year.

You can also tell both are/were really shocked with how bad their respective teams have played at times. Both said they didn't expect it or see it coming in prep or build up.

Nonsense. Osu was better than Cincy. Clemson, Usc, Ncar was better than our 2 thru 4 next toughest games from last year

Not even close

I'll disagree and here is why. Freeman has performed better as the season has gone on. He is a quick learner and has the respect of his team and coaching staff. He knew early that Golden had to simplify his defensive scheme. He is recruiting at a higher level then Kelly. In his first year on the job. I've seen him get on players and officials. He also knew he needed to go into the portal for a qb. Which I agree with. His 2024 class is looking great. His 2023 receiver class is better then anything Kelly recruited.

Coaches say that all the time when they start slow. Vets or rookies. Meaningless

I have not seen him get on players and he only started talking to officials more later in the season.

I think we can all agree we peaked vs clemson, but Navy happened after clemson, USC happened, South Carolina (that was a really really bad team) happened. Those were 3 games we played bad to end the season. yes we won 2 because the teams were terrible. But we barely won those games and they should have been blowouts.

What do you mean by he knew early on golden had to simplify scheme? Our best defensive game might have been our first game of the season. We didn't solve our third and long issue all season. We kept doing safety blitzes from egypt all season. Our lbs were never able to get home all season. We didn't learn how to contain or tackle a running QB last year or this year. Not sure if these are golden issues or freeman issues because it's still mostly freemans scheme with some golden wrinkles.

sure but what's crazy is how bad ND played a few games this year and how bad duke has played a few games this year. With the talent both teams have, only coaching and prep could lead to that poor level of play.

Duke right now feels like ND after Marshall. Yes Freeman definitely got the team to improve, but never to the point we thought we'd be pre season. Does Scheyer get duke to improve to where they compete in the ACC and can win road games.

South carolina wasnt bad to end the year. Either was Boston College. This was definitely Goldens defense, not Freemans. Wrong again

Duke has more talent than we do.

9 and 4 is not poor

Did their most important player get hurt?

We didn’t play close to the team South Carolina had playing well at the end of the season

BC lost 6 of their last 7, only beat nc state due state not having their qb

You definitely saw goldens thumb print on it but you saw freeman’s too
 
OMG when are you 2 girls going to start pulling hair and scratching each other's eyes out? The feminine energy around here is just a little too much to take.

Between Kelly and Freeman haters, this place is rapidly turning into "Mean Girls 2" sequel

This past season Freeman lost 2 games; Kelly would not have lost. How do I know this? Well, the 2 games I am referring to, are Marshall and Stanford, Marshall and Stanford were both unranked, and Kelly beat 59 unranked teams in a row on the way out the door. Longest streak in the nation.

To Freeman's credit he has recruited more "ranked elite HS players" (4 stars or better) than Kelly did here at ND.

So, the only questions to be answered are:

#1 will Freeman learn how to get his team ready every week and avoid the boneheaded losses to unranked and inferior opponents. Especially at home.

#2 will those highly ranked "elite HS players" be developed and turn into "elite" college players for ND on Saturdays.

The answers to those questions will come on the 100 yard long and 53 1/3 hard wide field. The rest is just pure speculation, conjecture and hot air.

Whitehead played in game 4 of the season. Who cares about the off season. Lively has played in 12 of Dukes 15 games

I dont think you have a clue
Your excuse for Buchner vs South Carolina was he was out for 2.5 months lol

You're comparing a QB playing against a team that had played a full season to a basketball player playing in game 4

You've never played sports in your life have you LOL

And Buchner was out 3.5 months not 2.5

Patterson Hart and many others were all hurt pre season.

You're full of shit, your lack of knowledge about everything does explain you not going to UND, but you are a message board bullshitter about having played any sport. Sure you can post anything you want on a message board, but its clearly bullshit. You need help, that is clear

Or you brought up Facebook which used to be all politics not long ago and is now just a mechanism to TikTok … so yeah enjoy your social media

Hell, I had to go to doctors today due to injuries from 20 years ago in college impacting me today

But hey, believe what you want

Just say it, you’re scared of the knowledge I have and ability to evaluate, it’s ok to be intimidated

I remember meeting Michael Jordan in college, so I get it… I’m here for you if you want to discuss

Like I said, your full of shit. Your knowledge level is zero, and that's being kind. Like I said you clearly don't know shit. No doubt your doctors appointment was to get your head examined. And that explains it. Keep up the stupidity, it's entertaining
