I stole this strait from Driskell. This was his comment and he referenced this exact pass. I felt he made a good point.
Swarbrick and Kelly both stated, emphatically, that it was NOT about money !
Book’s arm was so weak that he was drafted by the NFL and made the Saints roster !
I believe everything that people say in press conferences....hahaha
Yep, it’s called the company line. Swarbrick and ND took the high road and set the agenda
If we don’t get Moore we are not winning a title. Period. Get him and our odds jump a lot considering 2023 class and 2024 class will look similar. Quarterback is the most important position in all of college athletics. No Moore, we push good quarterbacking out at least 1-2 more years for the Freeman era. Great teams score points today. Great defense is something we are used to.
Nobody knows if he can't. He's only thrown 35 passes. He did have a 40 throw for a td against VT
What was Rees’s role when Jurkovec transferred? I met some people connected to Phil but they wouldn’t speak of it. Just said it was bs. Sounds like there was some bs towards Phil. Possibly a 1st round draft pick run off campus? Had nothing to do with playing time I heard on a podcast too.
Chad Pennington couldn't throw more than 35 yards but was very accurate and made a very good career for himself. Being able to throw 60 yards isn't an indicator of NFL success...
He hasn't shown he cannot either. Again I have zero doubt he can push the ball down the field as well as book did.
Show me 1 coach who said I left for the money. You sure are gullible
You cannot believe that they wouldn't want him. Get real. You just made the argument that money talks. No matter how much he loves ND, Ohio State is his alma matter. He will always love Ohio State deeper down in his gut.
I dont agree. And it only talks for some people. MF is a religious family man. I think he gets Notre Dame unlike any coach since Holtz. He loves this place and I don't see him leaving anytime soon. And if MF is so good of a HC that OSU wants to pay him, we will pay him
BK took us to the playoffs twice. Jack said don't let the door hit you. LSU is just as good of a program as Ohio State and they easily out paid ND. As much as we all hate BK, Jack and ND did not want to lose him. ND could out pay both LSU and Ohio State all day, but they don't choose to. Now, I am not unhappy that BK left. Don't get me wrong. I think we needed to part ways. BK was getting old. But that's not the point. The point is ND set a precedent that they are a place not willing to put up the cash to keep people they want.
tOSU is so particular about hiring alums that they hired Ryan Day who went to New Hampshire.
They wanted him but didn't really want him. They didnt need him. If MF takes us to new heights that BK couldn't reach, we'd pay up
"they are a place not willing to put up the cash to keep people they want"? That makes no sense. They pay for what they want....not for what they don't want.
Okie dokie. You are believing Kelly? With all the fake behaviors he had when going to LSU?
believe me, he wanted more money and a guarantee for 5 more years. He only got the LSU offer after 3 others turned it down
Look, I don't like Kelly either, but there is 0 chance ND wanted Marcus Freeman more than Brian Kelly. If they did they would've fired BK and hired MF. To say otherwise is denial.
Kelly's contract went through 2024. Notre Dame would have done everything necessary to ink an extension well before Kelly bolted if it served ND's best interests....but, both sides knew that no extension was coming...he would have simply lingered as a lame duck until he finished his final, 15th season, if ND were forced to keep him around because he wins 9 or 10 games a year. He traded 2 years for 10 years...and did ND a favor because recruiting was preserved, in spite of Kelly. Lets not forget that Kelly had a roving eye years before LSU came around...and ND forgave him even on the cusp of a title game against Bama. Burning that goodwill coupon should have triggered a coaching search....jmo.
Did Kelly even give ND an opportunity to counter the LSU offer? I thought not.
Only a guess....but Kelly and Swarbrick had played enough poker together over the years...I think both knew how the hand would end.....no need to draw extra cards.
At the time, I agree with you. If you asked JS right now who he'd rather have, I'd be willing to bet a good amount of money he'd say MF
