Simple answer, Coaching and development.

Way to many ?'s coming into next season.... This team is going to be a mix of: 1)Rookies, problem with that on Defense is that you need 2-3 year's to fully grasp BVG's non-working Defense. 2)Soph, Juniors that are finally going to get to play and we don't know what were getting. 3)Vets that it is time to see if they are Busts or late bloomers. Happens way to much at ND IMO.... On Offense: 1) Why do our 4* and 5* OL play like kitty cats, there is no mean whats so ever in them. Did you watch the game last night, on both teams there OL and DL played mean,nasty. They were laying people out all night of both sides of the ball. I don't see that in our guy's... not even Jaylon, yes he made all the play's and is a badass but he didnt play mean. 2)why does it take so long for our guy's to look like men. They take at least 3 years to look the part. I watch other teams and there guy's look huge. 3)Development, BK has been recruiting studs and with the exception of 1-2 guys on each side of the ball we don't see them play like 4* and 5* guys till its time for them to go or at all. One of the things I've noticed over the years at ND practice is the lack of reps the young guy's get. How are they supposed to get better and ready if they just sit around all the damn time. Coaches: Yes we struck Oil with Sanford and Denson, but the rest... Eh BK continues to bring in deadbeats or not top of the line coaches. Were F'ing ND, your telling me you can't bring in top coaches. Why doesn't he steal those great coaches from other school's like everyone else does..... Example, Bob Shoop. Your telling me as the Coach of ND you rather have BVG who has proven over and over that he hasn't been worth anything since his run at Georgia 20 years ago over a guy that has established himself as one of the Top DC in Football. Gilmore and Todd Lyght proved nothing this season. IMO our DB's regressed this season. This may seam like a vent but it's just my opinion on our program heading into next season.

IMO there is a 0% chance he comes back to ND Would make no sense since he has an insurance policy and with today's surgery and rehab he still a 1st round draft choice...

I get what you mean, but, how does any of that equal how OSU's 1st,2nd and even 3rd team DL smashed our 4 and 5* OL faces in

Dude, that was beautiful i've seen it now 3 times, twice with my kids I yelled at the screen when they killed you know who....

I agree that it is a major mistake that he is leaving, scouts are not high on him at the next level "Right Now" Needs to work on his route running and hands.... What he excels at in college he will not get away with in the NFL But, as a ND player, i wish him the best of luck

Offended, Good. I hope our players and coaches see this. Maybe next time ND plays a Bigtime program on a major stage they won't sh*t the bed

Embarrassed, That's how i feel. It was me against about 200 people, that's my football inner circle. I told them this was a different team, different coaches, we had the athletes to play with the big boy's, recruiting and my/our scouting doesn't lie. That if we lost, we were going down fighting til the last play to block that game winning FG. I was told that i am as blind as every ND fan on the planet, that we suck and always will suck. That our record was a mirage in the desert. ND doesn't win big games, they get spanked in them. That BK is not a good coach, BVG shouldn't be allowed to be a DC except on a pee wee league field. That Hiestands scheme is as soft as his player's. What sucked the most is that i had absolutely no ammo to fire back with by the end of the game. If BK doesn't make major changes this is who we will be. Longo,BVG,Hiestand,Lyght all need to go

The Win 100% But c'mon, BVG needs to go. If i'm a top recruit and know a little something about the way ND's defense runs i'd be scared to death, it might take me 2 years to get on the field. And this is something i have been asked by Players. How could a player like Morgan, who is a freak and showed you something as a freshmen not be able to get on the field over a former walk-on that is slow and can't tackle....

Everyone believes he is all Irish, but heard he loved getting a Clemson offer

Absolutely, Kelly needs to go out and get a proven top notch DC. It's like having a Ferrari with a Yugo engine in it

No, that was a great win,a great win, just like the weekend before when we beat Stanford 20-13 in OT. I'm talking about a win that meant something. We beat Ohio State in this Bowl game and it's going to mean something because nobody thinks we have a chance in this game, nobody. Hell, even some picked us to beat Bama in the NC in 2012 but every top guy has us losing this game to the Mighty Urban Meyer. We win this game and i promise you it win be like getting a shot of HGH, Recruiting and everything else that goes with College football at ND will feel it.

LoL.... Please refresh my "short" memory And don't give me LSU

This is the crap i was venting about a couple of weeks ago.... Aside from Sanford and Autry i have never liked his hires as far as coaches.... Martin,Diaco,Lyght,Gilmore,Heistand,yes Heistand,love his recruiting but not a fan of his coaching. Why can't he land proven badass coaches....We are ND, were back to being a damn good football team. Why would you not want to come here and coach these badass recruits Kelly is getting.... Kelly, please go out and get yourself proven coaches, not ones that have been fired or have a bad track record.

Then f'ing do it ND, win a game that means something for once to shut up all the haters...
