New Offensive Coordinator
- Thread starter Shakin' Down the Thunder
- Start date
Yes but he becomes an OC by calling the other teams D while ND has the ball. ND once again revolutionizes football!
Zero issues with the game plan? How can there not be? 14 points against Stanford and there's no issues with the game plan?
Even if you're right, Freeman is not going anywhere for at least 2 years. Everyone else on the staff is on notice, as far as I'm concerned. If I'm a talented OC and I see a million dollar a year offer and the type of talent Freeman is bringing in. With the exception of just a few schools. I'd take that job. ND has brought in many good assistants before and they can do it again. The rookie HFC excuse ain't gonna fly.
Player issues as much as coach issues.
Pyne missed big passes that cost ND points.
The penalty that took points off the board.
The fumble at the end.
All player issues
You could bring him in as OC. And his brother is an Analyst at Auburn. So he's OC and brother is QB coach. But..... What happens to Stuckey? He's a very good coach.
"Nobody good will work for freeman while he’s in training"
Outside of Rees (who Jack S kept prior to promoting Freeman) -- did not Freeman hire pretty much his whole staff? Did I miss something here?
This spelled properly
freeman has to make changes asap and poor play can not continue and elite play must start next year
Yep. Angeli is not a great QB. Literally any 2023 5 star QB could sign and start vs Navy on August 26.
If we do hire a home run offensive coordinator that is not afraid to develop and play freshman, and Buchner can start next season and stay healthy, it's possible Freeman can have a rebound year. We ease into the schedule next season before Ohio State and we have a bye week before USC. We should be 3-0 (playing an FCS team, Navy, and Central Michigan) easily headed into the Ohio State week. While I don't have a lot of faith in Freeman, I do think an elite OC could really juice up the offense and recruiting.

I know this is outta left field. What about Jason Garrett as an OC?
Yep. He's a beast. While at SMU for 2 years, his offense was ranked top 15 both years. Then he took the job at TCU in 2021 and they've been very good.
He'd be a good one to get in the pipeline for HC someday if he ends up being a legit HC somewhere. I have no idea, but I bet he's an ace recruiter too. Just the name alone would excite a lot of QB's. It wouldn't hurt to have him on our side during the USC games either.
"Angeli may be worse. Our qb situation is awful"
Yes, our QB situation is awful -- but last weekend would have been a very good time to allow Angeli to get some live game reps in a game where ND was in control. That is where ND has failed for many years -- especially when Phil J was behind Book. Kelly kept Book in way too long in games where ND was in total control.
You say Angeli may be worse -- how will we/coaches find out unless he is under fire.
while I’d prefer to replace Marcus, agree on Longo or Lincoln Riley’s little brother. thers the guy at wake but he’s actually got like 75th ranked running game (no thanks). Texas tech guy lame. Hartline never called a play in his life no thanks. According to google and beer poster above Riley’s brother had top 15 offense at smu back to back years and is top 5 right now at tcu, He’s good.
Always nice to hear from rearend. I want to hire Bill Belichik to take over the program. 😜😜
I figured you had someone in mind since you were spot on the BVG hire, fricking hilarious
read an interesting article about how phil longo and al golden go back 25 years and coached together at BC, he would be a special hire
