I think they do this with every position and it goes without saying. ND needs to go into the portal at QB any chance they get. CMF repeatedly laments the difficulty getting undergrad transfers in at ND so they need to throw around NIL and whatever they can to get the best players who either have their degree or are freshman who haven't been admitted into a "school/college" yet. Unless you have Brady Quinn I'm going into the portal for a signal caller every year. Hopefully Angeli is that dude but remains to be seen. Looked really poised and under control today.

We should brainstorm some backups just in case it doesn't stick.

Well said. Expanding on what Baldy said, He's grown the endowment while both expanding curriculum and furthering its achievement and research. He gets an A grade on the academic achievement front and a B+ on the football program A- on non revenue sports. when he took over Notre Dame didn't even have the top ranked schools within the state of Indiana: business premed law etc.. now they're regularly ranked ahead of IU and regarded as a top 15 university in the country. Now they need leadership who'll focus on getting the football program back to prominence and maintaining great progress on its academics.

Back to Purgatory we all go as a fan base. offense needs lots of work still. I had a feeling we would endure several of these types of seasons when he was hired. He does a much better job getting ND ready for the big games and lays an egg against inferior teams. A different way to get to 10-2 or 9-3. I think this is better for recruiting because they can see that our coach is capable of beating the big boys.

Jack Swarbrick said everything when they didn't get Ludwig last year. Ludwig cost too much to bring to SB. And then he told everyone where to go to donate money to the athletic fund. im not saying Ludwig was the home run hire but it's becoming clear Parker ain't that guy and the overall philosophy as a fan has to aggravate you as you spend your time and money on this program. It's smug and arrogant and his attitude reaks of entitlement. im glad he's leaving while also acknowledging he's fighting higher powers on this but someone has to be the catalyst for investment. I tried posting article link unsuccessfully but google Swarbrick Ludwig 247

It certainly looked against Louisville that the lineman were not strong enough. This can be poor S&C, too much banging in practice, and/or not proper rest. Brian Kelly for many of his flaws had that regimen down to a science where ND wasn't having guys blow up all the time. He would talk about knowing when and how to rest guys so they're ready for kick off. It's no secret CMF practices are more intense than Brian Kelly's. This team needs rest and hopefully have enough juice not to get the brakes beat off next Saturday before the bye.

Should be able to pin a post to someone's profile, so anytime you think about discussing or arguing with them you can be like oh this is the guy who thinks Tyler Buchner is a serviceable quarterback and then just hit backspace and delete the post and move on about your day..

Meh. I got a 2 year old, crazy ass wife and 4 dogs and a stressful business to run. I was standing the whole game pacing and sweaty palms. This one hit different.

You do realize coaching is way more than just calling plays right? Recruiting player development etc etc

Don't GAF who the hire is/what color the skin is so long as he has experience as a standalone coordinator and is a good QB coach. An article I read made a good case for former Colts HC: Caldwell and OC: Pep Hamilton. That would solve the minority hire but if they could talk Joe Brady back to college for a few years I think it would be worth it. Meritocracy first and only. No AA please. Our citizen facing aspect of the federal govt is all AA and look at those clowns..

But did he?

I think it's a good start what they did with Minchey. He'll likely get upgraded to a 4* but they need one in every class, no questions asked and they'll hit on a kid even if he's not highly rated.

I don't need Chick Fil A bags with cash, I just want a student life that's welcoming to every highschooler. ND makes Fball players live on campus for 3 years, take real classes etc. Let's see if they can improve their prospects by playing by the rules first before they explore bending NIL rules etc Sports management bachelors program would be a good start.

Not gonna lie.. pretty envious that USC can rebuild it's program with 19 transfers in one year.. That same feat would take 5-6 recruiting cycles for ND to replenish those numbers properly.
