Mike Singer predicts Bear Bachmeir all Irish
- Thread starter NCDomer1
- Start date
Yet 0-2 against FSU in last 12 months, with losses to a 7 loss A+M team, as well as blowout losses to Tenn and UGA
No cherry-picking
oh and 4-15 vs top 10 teams since 2010. 😂
Let's compare that to a real great coach:
During his 11 seasons, Lou Holtz coached in 24 games featuring Top 10 matchups. His record in these games was 16-7-1 (68.8%). Additionally, he coached in 3 games featuring #1 vs #2, and amazingly won all of them: 1993 #2 vs #1 Florida St (W 31-24); 1989 #1 vs #2 Michigan (W 24-19); and 1988 #1 vs #2 USC (W 27-10).
Now compare Lou Holtz to Frank Leahy, who captured 4 titles at Notre Dame with a .864 winning percentage.
Comparing head coaches in different coaching eras is ludicrous.
If Mississippi State beats LSU....that will be fantabulous. I will enjoy the Cajun fireworks like its Fourth of July.
No it's not. Unlike you, I prefer to make comparisons with those that were successful. You on the other hand compare Kelly's tenure to the unsuccessful coaches to prop him up to some faux standard. Sorry, but the standard is Rockne, Leahy, Ara, Holtz, and I'd even throw Devine in there. Kelly doesn't make the cut.
And now Knight will be visiting ND next weekend for the OSU game. Interesting timing. I wonder if this means ND is pressuring Knight to commit now.
I prefer pro style QB's who are pass first, accurate guys. And I do not see that here.
Outstanding athlete like I said.
Eh, I’m on his side for this one. In the recent past, we’ve settled for the easier get than the more talented prospect IMO. I mean Brian Kelly flat out admitted he wouldn’t have even tried to go after Sneed. If we’re truly going to play with the elites of college football, we need elite talent to work with. I’m not saying we haven’t landed a ton of quality players, because we absolutely have, but we need to start getting more top tier guys though. Hanging onto the ones we do get verbals from would be a nice start
Ex:
Kelley
Bowen
About ND needing to get more tier 1 guys? There’s nothing wrong with that IMO.
I didn’t read the whole thread though so maybe I missed something
No. About the current QB situation. What he was saying about that situation was wrong
Gotcha, I didn’t read that part if he said something there.
I do LOVE the fact that we’re back to trying to get Tier 1 guys again under Freeman. Recruiting had gotten a little too lazy over the past few years. Arrows are pointing up and if we can get a big win or two, Watch out!
I'm surprised he isn't back here with an updated ranking system showing that Knight is no good.
As was Tulsa in 2010, USF in 2011, Pitt in 2013, ASU/NW/Ville in 2014, two-thirds of the schedule in 2016, Miami in 2017, and Cincy in 2021.
All games that ND was favored
So give it a rest
His retort is going to be 10 years 100 million guaranteed, like that somehow magically translates to Kelly being a great coach. lol
Many schools have overpaid for head coaches, we don't need to look far with Notre Dame and Weis.
Marshall as well. When you lose to Marshall and Stanford at home in the same season, don't throw stones.
I don't know, losing to two thirds of the schedule in year 7 in a coaches tenure is hard to beat, but hey 10 years 100 million right, isn't that your answer to any criticism? Let me ask, how much of that 100 million are you getting?
