Coaching matters. These HS kids still need to get the skills they have developed at the next level.
That will be decided 3-4 years from now.
I rather have the opportunity than have him leave me at alter! Anyway you spin it BK's chair is on 🔥!!
Obviously I was talking about right now
Of all the places for him to end up. Michigan is the worst passing team in the P4. Dead last. So bad that you could say it cost them their season. And instead of becoming the next Jayden Daniels, which was definitely the plan for him, why he picked LSU, he can be the next JJ McCarthy, with no Harbaugh. I guess he's a guaranteed true frosh starter, by default. And I could easily imagine that scumbag from Barstool sports tying to hold out on him and screw him on the deal.
Is that why he got into coaching or was it to win a NC and be considered one of the great coaches in CFB?? If he got into it for 💰 only then it fits his loser mentality perfectly! He was a prick in 83' when he started at Assumption and has only gotten worse over the last 40 years.
Spoken like a true hater, I have to chuckle at that one. I have this vague memory of reading some blog right around the time BK was hired, and it was some ND geek alum, opining about whoever the new coach might be, and naturally BK was mentioned. And they liked him, they considered him an eligible candidate. But maybe a little too 'community college' was the phrasing I think they used. As if he might not be patrician enough somehow, for a place like ND. Which is LOL funny.
Real question: did you know him or play for him at Assumption?
I wouldn't play for him if he was coaching at the only school still playing CFB!
This isn’t Barstool money. Michigan released a statement and the first names that were mentioned were Larry Ellison & his wife. Billionaire money is a different level. Michigan appears to be competing with the likes of Oregon on NIL spend.
It's not just Michigan it's pretty much every modern power and historic power in the sport serious about competing for national titles
I get it.
Do you think we have a chance to win it this year? Final 4? Playoff win? What are your expectations for the rest of this season?
I think the best indicator of where a team stands in the hierarchy of college football is the F+ rankings. F+ sees Notre Dame as a back end top 10 team and considerably far away from the top five or so teams in the country which isn't too far away from how F+ has viewed Notre Dame going back to the inception of the F+ system.
On3 reported this evening that Bryce’s offer was $1.5M from LSU (are they not a big program?) It’s being reported Michigan offered $10.5-$12M. Pretty substantial gap.
What do you think happens when one player signs a major NIL deal? He sets the market for the next number one consensus prospect that comes along. Conversations will start at 10 million going forward.
Sounds like a salary cap should be coming for NIL then, unless this is Major League Baseball.
Notre Dame has one of the highest endowment in all of college football. Notre Dame football is a billion dollar enterprise making hundreds of millions of dollars in sales per year in and of itself
Then why aren’t football programs and Universities funding their own NIL collectives if it’s so easy?
