Of all the things to complain about this week, this was not the one. Gino is a good hire
ND is making some very questionable hires
- Thread starter Zorich 88
- Start date
Yet when this process started 17 days ago, Ludwig was not even an afterthought. It was Johnson, Moorhead, Brady, Leftwich…
Ludwig came in the second tier and had just signed a new contract with Utah. He was one of the best after the first tier
You are completely wrong. He was top of the board. Leftwich and Johnson were internet rumors
It was Brady Lydwig Moorhead Klein
Speaking for myself, I just wanted a kick-ass OC, that's it. I don't really give a shit who effed up what. At the end of the day, we didn't get our man, and instead we got this nobody. And that's why I'm so peeved.
And this was it, this was the only time I was invested in something like that. Just don't let us down, MF! And instead we got Gerald Parker....
Regardless, this is a very bad look for ND. They should have learned, but it appears they repeat these mistakes over and over again.
Gerad Parker
2020 West Virginia Mountaineers football team
| 2020 West Virginia Mountaineers football | |
|---|---|
| Record | 6–4 (4–4 Big 12) |
| Head coach | Neal Brown (2nd season) |
| Offensive coordinator | Gerad Parker (1st season) |
| Co-offensive coordinator | Chad Scott (2nd s |
Why was he replaced after only 1 season? He was demoted once Harrell showed up
If he was any good why did the bring in Harrell
Look, I hope this guy is great. I am not saying he sucks. I am simply saying the jury is out on this guy.
No one in the country was trying to hire him as their OC
Yes, I’m trying to make up for the deficiencies of others, such as yourself.
Swarbrick just stated that ND’s coaching compensation ranks in the top 10 nationally, destroying another one of your dumb, unsubstantiated arguments.
I don’t “know it all” but I know exponentially more than you !
What mistake ?
Swarbrick was clear, ND was ready, willing and able to pay the buy-out, as I stated they were.
Golson5 and the other morons got it wrong !
Not true and Swarbrick confirmed that it wasn’t true.
You got it dead wrong and you have egg all over your face.
You know nothing about ND and you know nothing about ND football.
Just because you are not familiar with them means they are disreputable. Cover 3 (owned by Paramount) is the best college football podcast around.
My God you are clueless!
Patty = Eristic + Disputatious + narcissistic + curmudgeon.
You need serious help!
He also admitted that there was an obstacle with the buyout. What was the obstacle? Were they trying to negotiate a lower buyout? Were they not wiling to pay the buyout initially and then changed their mind, were they waiting on approval to pay the buyout?
The mistake was, they publicized this by bringing Ludwig in and parading him around as though he was the guy. You didn't see this type of fanfare when Alabama was interviewing for their OC position. Tommy Rees didn't attend Bama basketball game. sure there were reports of him interviewing, but no crazy hype like we saw with Ludwig. That's ND's fault.
Same to you buddy, why don't you get the F out? Yeah? Why don't you beat it.....
Bottom line, he does NOT have a great track record as an OC.
This is 100% a questionable hire. Could prove to be a home run but we will see.
Also, he was way down on the list the job and no team in America had him as their top choice.
Youre wrong here.
Notre Dame ****ed up and got a copy of the old contract with 400k buyout
ND offered the job and it was accepted based on old contract
ND admin reached out to Utah and was notified that the rela buyout was over 2mil
ND said they weren't paying it
This is when the news broke saying Ludwig wasn't come
Supposedly, Notre Dame then went back the next day AFTER THE NEWS BROKE, and agreed to pay the new buyout and at that time we're notified Ludwig was staying.
Two things can be right at the same time.
The admin screwed up, then tried to fix it, only for it to blow up.
The root cause was the failure of the admin to accurately vet the availability, contract, and buyout. PERIOD.
Ultimately its the guy Freeman trusts. It's perceived a lesser higher by fans, but could be a home run.
Prove it.
I cannot find ANY sources that confirm that. There are more incorrect notes about leftwich than anything regarding Brady. He was A guy driskell wanted them to be interested in but there is nothing out there substantiated regarding any actual interest from ND.
Morehead was confirmed as contacted but re-upped and is sticking as head coach. Rumors are yurcich was going to be contacted of Ludwig interview didn't go well.
Those four are the only ones that there are any substantiated reports of being contacted.
I disagree with the first part. I dont thi k he has any track record. If you dig a little he was doing what he was told at WV
I agree with your second part, it is a questionable hire
We're in a wait and see state right now. Anyone who thinks they know, they dont
Even Driskell said conversations with many candidates happened. Even if they weren't serious. Leftwich included
From the guy still sporting a Brian Kelly avatar. What a joke.
I agree with everything you said except,
he did not do well in the OC role at WV. That’s why that brought in someone else.
Leftwich conversation took place and had nothing to do with him being a candidate for oc. Freeman has to build his network.
Driskell also need to sell content and subscriptions. He never once said that a conversation with Brady took place. He just gave his opinion on Brady and noted that conversations with multiple candidates took place.
He was very clear about communications with leftwich, Klein, and Ludwig. Note again. Never mentioned anything about the staff talking to Brady.
Never said they didn't. And if he was building his network with Leftwich, why in the world wouldnt he with Brady
He wasn't the fourth choice. Lol. He was the second interview and in the first tier. You do realize you have to schedule interviews right? He was the FIRST OFFER.
Leftwich and Johnson were NOT Candidates.
Maybe he will, but again there is zero info that I can find online anywhere that states they talked. At all.
The only mentions are from IB, as a candidate they wanted mf to look at.
Z, can you list the last ND hire that was NOT questionable? The least questionable I can think of would be BK, but UC was not a powerhouse program.
HH on his 2nd tour I guess is the only one I can think of over the last 30 years...
