4thand1 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I agree that Taylor wants to move up. However, if ND paid him more, he could wait till it's an opportunity he can't pass up instead of just the next available opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC at a P5 school is a good step up and I believe he has passed up other opportunities in the past. ND fans are somewhat lucky because most programs have way more turnover than ND does, esp at the top. Exception being Clemson's cordinators.

Highly doubtful it was about more money since he turned down Kelly at LSU and stayed at ND until this promotion came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to Ohio State message boards they seem to like this hire. They think they'll run for at least 250 yards because of Washington's hire. They weren't sold on him and his development. Couple that with that their defense has been shit, Washington was basically let go, and all the drama with Pope and their locker room. Call me concerned.....

We didn’t hire home away from OSU, he was let go. That’s a red flag but we’ll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd1989 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I’m just really interested in who he brings in. Al can recruit! In terms of the D at OSU isn’t that more of the DC and they let him go? Then didn’t they bring in Todd Bowles who wants his own staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his 2022 recruiting profile: Includes: Sonny Styles (5*) and CJ Hicks (5*). Lowest rated recruit was Koji Antwi 4* WR and 146 nationally ranked recruit.

NDhoosier Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Al Washington can recruit and he has coached a couple studs at both OSU and Michigan (LBs coach). Lance Taylor was a solid coach, but his recruiting was a little lacking according to some insiders/experts. I think it is clear Freeman prioritizes recruiting in his coaches. Hopefully it pays off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily Elston has coached these guys up. Lets give the great recruiter a shot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithInIrishForever Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Most think Washington's at least a good hire. Coached DL at Boston College including Harold Landry. Coached successful LB's including Werner at OSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
