That’s obvious and that’s obvious.

I know, and I was so hoping that a little bit of that brightness would rub off on you, but alas, it hasn’t .
Name calling, the weapon of choice of the uneducated and ignorant of logic and reasoning.
While I agree in theory; in reality this has been shown to not be the case.
You were the moron who started all of this !
On more than a few occasions I stated why I use larger font and bold type, but you either lack reading comprehension skills or you’re just stupid or both.
And now you want to chime in after you derailed this thread, acting as if you’re an innocent observer.
That’s the move that a low life dirt bag would make, but that’s not surprising.
Sorry to disappoint you but unlike fair weather fans of Notre Dame football, I’m a true fan and I’m here to stay.
10-2 wasn’t good enough for the other guy, but now it’s good enough because the playoffs expanded? The Freeman fan boys lofty standards are more flexible than a yoga instructor.
With NIL and the transfer portal in full swing, and now an expanded playoff that will produce upsets, it's going to become more difficult for teams to go undefeated. All of which the previous guy didn't have to deal with.
Let's be realistic if they had a 12 team playoff this past season, it's highly unlikely Michigan wins the NC, not with a 1-loss Georgia team in the playoff.
Don't tell me you wouldn't be happy with 10-2 or 11-1 and a national championship.
I think you’re correct, but I also think that the landscape has changed.
And because it’s changed, I think the W-L bar has been lowered
Kelly revived the program, and to his credit, a ten win season became our benchmark for success. Once this became an annual expectation, making the playoffs became the new benchmark under Kelly. I feel the ten win season became our benchmark once again under Freeman, given the team he inherited and his relative inexperience. He now owns this team and he has gained experience, and now making the playoffs is his benchmark for success as well. As Patrirish suggests, The new playoff structure has lowered the bar for making the playoffs, and ND and Freeman benefit from this.
It's all about the narrative with some.
Brian Kelly was severely criticized by some because he did not win a title. That same standard should continue.

This thread title is funny. The guy has basically been at every practice and participates.
Expecting Marcus Freeman to win a title at Notre Dame as an affirmation of his head coaching ability is an unfair standard.
The standard at Notre Dame is to win a NC. BK failed at that unfortunately. The expectation and standard has not changed.
and it will, but let's see how many of the Kelly fanboys are going to give Freeman 12 years to do it.
Nobody gets 12 years anymore. Michigan just won one. It’s time we give coaches a shorter leash from here on out.
5 years. Anything less only for a show of incompetence. Freeman should be in a position to challenge the top tier of college football inside five years.
In this case because the school hired his OC due to the way Kelly left, I could see him getting 6 based on the guys in position now...namely golden, denbock, and mickens...
If that group stays for three years there is no reason to not be competing effectively with the top tier of teams...something Kelly never did
Bullshit. The SEC cheats their collective asses off to win, always has, and plays by a completely different set of rules regarding ethical standards, academics, and academic expectations once you arrive on campus. And then people wonder why Notre Dame loses to Alabama and Georgia.
They have better players; those schools are playing the game within the ugly game of todays college football.
Not so much that he didn't win a NC, but he got blown out every NC game he was in.
You're being an excuse maker. Michigan, OSU and Clemson have won Titles. We can win at the highest level. We just needed someone who recruits at a higher level. And now we have a staff to get it done in recruiting and on the field
That's complete revisionist history.
The ND fanbase liked and rooted for BK until he flirted with Philly after the Natty blowout. Even then most of the fanbase forgave him and moved on. After a few lackluster seasons and 1 unforgivable 4-8 season where BK didnt know his S&C coach was MIA the majority of the fanbase lost trust & faith he was the right man for the job. To BK's credit he put together some great regular seasons but wound up facing 2 monster's in Clemson & Bama in the semi's. Still the fanbase was content with BK being head coach but then he accepted the LSU job while he was in a ND's recruits house & 99% of the fanbase will never forgive him for the way he left.
Yeah they have the best teams. They are the best conference
Are you going to cower to them and go and hide. Or are you going to accept the challenge and bust the door down
I know what MF is working towards
Agree 100 %
His Philly flirtation and abandonment of Manti soured me on him, but you have to give the devil his due regarding his record for the last five years
