The Freeman on the job training seems to be faltering!

Umm.. what has been the result when ND hires a guy with no college HC experience? Odds are clearly against it being successful.
wait till he gets ‘his’ players!
I know the program isn’t what it was 30 years ago, but it still requires previous experience. Can’t figure out why you make rash decisions and hire guys with no experience just because the current players love him. Freeman may be a good coach someday, but I don’t think it’ll be in South Bend.
Since Holtz, appointing coaches with no experience has backfired. A successful coordinator doesn't necessarily become a good head coach.
We discussed this last season at length regarding Freeman. But ND decided to roll the dice again instead of getting a proven coach.
Today doesn't bode well. I'll still be rooting for ND and Freeman. I think Freeman deserves 3 years, unless things really go south.

Gets his players?
Unless this is sarcasm
This team were 11-2 last season with plenty quality players left behind
I believe it was said at the end of Weis tenure that ND is no place for On the Job Training
Faust, Davie, Weiss, Freeman. That’s hiring 4 guys who had no college HC experience and 2 with no HC experience at all. Who does that?
I stated that hiring MF was a mistake as soon as it was announced.
Where are all of those posters who said he was a good hire ?
ND was a 20 point favorite today !
It looks bad now but it's early though I didn't know they were a 20 point favorite...ouch
I think I put it at 1/3 odds of success, which was generous given history...pushing it up for the Freeman personality factor and hoping for some magic.
The 2/3 odds are winning out I guess.
Let's see what the rest of the season holds. It remains to be seen if this is a bust versus work in progress with potential. But clearly it's not a home run hire, only 2 games in.
The media and the players! Remember how fired up they were when MF was introduced????
Agree, this is on Jack, who knows nothing about coaching. He should have hired an expert
