He probably just decided to stay at his alma mater after getting a raise. Some coaches do that.
Possible new OC
- Thread starter 96domer
- Start date
No inside info but sounds like this is an agent telling his client to get on a plane and listen, worst case you come back and get a major raise.
About 20 minutes and 10 posts late with that one ..
As I said earlier, I asked for info bc I had a busy day at work. Sorry for the lateness.
No worries. I put it in one of my replies about Klein.
You can track yourself here...
If Klein was a Zoom call and Ludwig is in person, I’d assume the staff is all in on Ludwig. Unless of course it’s just some rich ass on his way back from a ski trip.
Lol I don't even know who that is?
All I know is they have interviews set through the weekend and have since they talked to Klein.
I think it's insanely unlikely freeman was offering the first guy through the door
TR said that before fans paid hundreds of billions on sports. Today the critic matters if you like NIL, revenue, tv deals, keeping your job, etc.
I’m a big TR fan though. Touché on the reference and generally I agree with you on that. I love the man in the arena quote. Posted in my office.
I went back and read these posts. Show me where Ludwig was mentioned in a private jet.

Andy Ludwig IMO is a walk off grad slam hire if it happens.
how is andy ludwig as a recruiter? why is nobody covering the recruiter-aspect of this job search? how more obvious does it need to get that we desperately need recruiters at ND?
edit/update: after doing some research on Ludwig, he looks like he has about as much charisma as a box of sand and has a reputation for being an average recruiter at best. Hard pass!

Bc he can recruit enough. We have our QBs until 2024. All he needs to do is keep CJ happy. Stuckey, McCullough, Parker are great recruiters. Harry gets the job done. Explain to me what else we need? Why does our OC need to be an elite recruiter? Dumb post.
Before you ask... A plane left salt lake city for south bend today. Draw your own conclusions. Again it's the FIRST interview. No other details but you can use flight aware to see incoming planes to south bend ..
it's the single greatest thing holding back the program right now: the talent. So of course it's going to be the biggest area of concern
Alright, then! It's going to be the Utah guy. He's definitely an experienced hand who's been to many rodeos. It's not exactly what I was imagining, but close enough. Let's give it a whirl....
I think he would go well with SH, right?

If you surmise that this OC search is a done deal you could be correct.
Seriously doubt you spend time at a hockey game with a potential employer if he's not offering or you're not taking the job.
I'm excited about this move. Like Ludwig a lot. A bonus is that I doubt he becomes a HFC anytime soon, so I anticipate he'll bring continuity to the offense.
Another thing I like is that he's worked under Rocky Long, Kyle Whittingham, Mike Belloti, Paul Chryst and Jeff Tedford. All of whom are good coaches in their own right. He's brining experience and knowledge that Rees couldn't at this point. At Freeman's juncture of his career having Golden and Ludwig will be huge.

He is perfect for you guys. Smash mouth high discipline offense. The difference would be having much more talent at ND.
I like Utah, and consider them a pretty kick=ass team all around. But I want a good passing offense. I don't give a shit about no infantile logic, which says that because ND always recruits good OL, that on that primitive basis we should favor a run-first style. That's effin' childlike. I want a badass state of the art offense, and OL also have to pass-block and they can use their elite-recruit abilities to serve that role too.
So maybe someone like Ludwig will be great, and the offense will flourish, and we'll run the ball more than pass, or at least the run game will be the fulcrum of the offense or something like that, and everything will be grand.....
But I do not sympathize much with that sort of crude philosophical conclusion. But to be fair there is absolutely no proof that MF actually holds with such a simpletonish way of thinking. And maybe he just likes Ludwig, who is it must be said a pretty solid-looking career OC. And on that score we'd definitely be getting a super-experienced and quite accomplished longtime OC whom MF would be able to entrust the offense to completely....

Some other boards are now starting to report a particular flight headed to South Bend from Denver.
