They know they are not going to get the same playing time. Coogan is okay but nothing special. Did a great job stepping inWhat is going on here.
They both will have degrees and one year of eligibility remaining. Why not go somewhere you're more likely to play ? This doesn't hurt ND one iota. The room is loaded. No one should be surprised.Coogan and Spindler… two starters on our offensive line. I feel like this is NIL poaching. Maybe they are upset they didn’t start the the season opener? Either way, both are replaceable but Spindler stings a little more.
This seems short sighted. Neither will be membered as fondly by ND faithful. And unless they play for a championship team at their new destination, they'll be viewed as mercenaries and quickly forgotten.Coogan and Spindler… two starters on our offensive line.

Exactly. Craig if healthy is the superior player. If you only have one year of eligibility remaining and really want to play it's the smart move.They know they are not going to get the same playing time. Coogan is okay but nothing special. Did a great job stepping in
"What's our scholarship situation? Do we need to get numbers down?"I wonder if they're being processed. What's our scholarship situation? Do we need to get numbers down?
Processing is basically okay now. Players get paid, and they can totally leave any time they want, and can find another school, even if it's not as good as ND. It's just an ethical thing anyway, schools could always process players any time they wanted. But now, it's just like, what's so bad about it?
I’m a big fan of a senior led team for multiple reasons.Ouch ? How so ?
He got beat out this year. Had Schrauth not gotten injured his playing may have been minimal. I just think there are more talented, younger players in the room. Still hoping Jagusah gets moved inside and I'm told they are very high on Peter Jones. Both Spindler and Coogan turned out to be important pieces this year and that was great. It's in their best interests to move on if they want play regularly.I’m a big fan of a senior led team for multiple reasons.
I thought spindler would have competed for the starting job at guard. We are going to continue to be a run heavy offense next season I believe. Plus the depth aspect. We need 8 starter caliber depth to run a 16 game season.
Maybe I’m underestimating the talent on the bench
Thoughts. ? Maybe I’m not seeing the whole picture here. Scholly numbers ?

The backups will likely be Lambert, Ashber, Otting, and Terek. Lambert if he's as talented as people say will probably be the first lineman to go in at guard or tackle. All these guys have already spent at least year in the program and should be game ready. I think they'll be fine.I’m a big fan of a senior led team for multiple reasons.

Right, they're going to raise it to 105, with no walk-ons, or that's the plan, even though there's no real good explanation for it, and apparently it's an unexpected development, that nobody really wanted or was agitating for, and has to do with revenue sharing and being title IX compliant, and it's for financial/legal reasons and is somehow a corollary of that or whatnot."What's our scholarship situation? Do we need to get numbers down?"
Prior to Spindler and Coogan, and after the departures of Thomas and Colzie, Notre Dame is at 101 scholarships, 16 over the current NCAA max with the likelihood, but not certainly, the 85-scholarship limit gets raised ahead of next season.
Portal transfers want to play.3 lineman leaving is not good I think for depth reasons we should add a portal guy injuries happen.
