This was one of the weakest schedules ever

[Zorich 88]

Not one opponent is anywhere near the top 25 besides Navy. VT is no where near what they used to be. Yet, over paid, underachieving BK has three wins and job security. Last year the talent of Fuller on offense and J. Smith on defense carried this team. Now, when BK has to coach and does not have the luxury of falling back on Fuller deep or J. Smith playmaking skills on defense, we get these results. 4-8 this season and no better than .500 next season.

Largely agree. Fuller also made Kizer look great and Sanford a QB coaching whiz. As great as Jaylon was, he sure as hell couldn't make BVG look good.

Until Kelly is gone this program is going nowhere.

you're clearly delusional; and I mean that! (in a good way!!!!!!)

Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen. Competition for the most negative thread on ND football and BK has begun in earnest. Every hour. Everyday. A new contender emerges with "fresh" comments on why BK should be fired. This should go down to the wire with slightly different outlooks on the same subject line.

 

[Maplerock]

I expected more ignorant comments on this thread. They will pick up this afternoon, these guys have been out protesting the new president all night.

gotta disagree on '17; 7-8 W's likely and 10 not out of the question depending on the 'returnees'. But in the end, it will not change the ultimate eventuality.
'17 will be yr 8 and 'meh' and Jack may be appeased.
'18 Jack being Jack, will remain comatose and the bottom falls out in '18

Kelly will have coached 8-9 years without a post season W of note.
No ND coach has entered yr 6 as such.
Ty got fired for 6-5.
Weis admitted 9-3 would get you fired.

So anyone thinking things are not radically different at ND as a result of the Kelly tenure is ?able.

This football program will go nowhere until the Admin actually cares and makes a commitment to Winning.

Just curious---in your mind, what would the ND administration have to do to show a commitment to winning?

Well people on here have said that ND makes all the football players take calculus, a foreign language, and who knows what else. I would make all that stuff optional. Those things are probably too mentally taxing on most of the players, considering the amount of physical and mental energy playing football takes.

There are so few people who are large top notch athletes and whom are also gifted intellectually in many different areas. How many football players have gone on to win Nobel or Pulitzer prizes, compose some famous symphony, or direct an Oscar winning film ???

If I was ND, I would construct a Football Major, that had courses in all things related to Football. Things like offensive/defensive/special teams styles, strategies and formations, sports psychology and motivation, fundamentals and drills, video analysis, the history of football, the business of football etc.

The idea is that people who would take this program, whether ND players or not, would be interested in coaching football or something related to football as a career. There could be a co-op program with local high school football teams in South Bend.


Another thing is ND should be getting neutral referees for their games if such a thing exists.

I hope that you are not serious about ND constructing a football major. That's not going to happen, nor should it.

Yes I am dead serious, but you are right that it won't happen. ND is a bunch of soft sissy snobbish White cucks, and as a result will continue to be mediocre at football. ND needs Trump to make their football program great again.

If, as you say, "ND is a bunch of soft sissy snobbish White cucks," why do you pull for ND? That makes no sense at all.

I am actually very concerned that you might be serious.

ND could hire some professors from UNC. They know how to set up majors to keep athletes eligible.

Point well taken.
