With the current season at 3-3 the Norte Dame football prorgam needs to understand and do the following:
1. The previous regime did a terrible job recruiting elite quarterbacks, receivers, and corners…so fix it
2. The current staff needs to recruit and develop at a high level and do not make excuses on missing out on talent
3. The defensive and offensive schemes need to be more dynamic and sound
4. Play the young players so they gain experience…so next year there are no excuses for their lack of development
5. Figure out the transfer portal and NIL so it can supplement the program needs

So while this season is lost there are many things that can be done…develop young players, recruit life your life depends on it, coaching evaluation and re-recruit your best players so they do not look to transfer to more successful programs. This will allow 2023 and beyond to be better. The reality is if Marcus Freeman cannot recruit top 5 classes consistently, develop players, navigate the current landscape, hire the best coaches, and create a winning culture. He will need to be replaced. Its about results and every year Norte Dame should be a 10+ win team period. If year 3 of Marcus Freeman ends with these things not happening…change must come. Every coach needs time to do the job…but at Norte Dame with the resources and current environment of college football you cannot wait 5 years anymore.

The previous regime recruited the winningest QB in Notre Dame’s history.

That’s a cold hard fact !
