what's the feeling right now?

10-2 Baby! Thank god Swarbrick didn't listen to the mob...

Anything less than 10-2 with that talent and that weak schedule would be EPIC FAIL.

 

Four top 10 recruiting classes folks. If the excuses counted this year, they sure as hell don't carry any weight next year.

I see no reason than going less than 9-3. If ND loses their two toss up games (Pitt and UCONN) and doesn't upset USC, I think ND should coast into a nine win season with the mixture of experience and talent on this squad.

Be ready for a disappointing year and a bad recruiting class next year IMO. Either we face it now or after SC kicks our ass in South Bend next year.

The bummer thing on 2010 recruiting is that we seem to have a lot of strong connections with the higher potentials in the HS junior class.

That is the most disapointing part about this whole mess.

Yeah, it's REEEAALLL disappointing that we're bringing in talent. Do you guys ever stop to listen to yourselves??? Yeah, sign me up, I want a team that brings in crappy talent. Man, I sure want to root for that team. Yeah, I hate the coach, so I hope he can't bring in talent; because I really want this team to suck so that the next coach that comes in goes through the exact same process: trying to win with crappy talent.

 

Geez. And, I got jumped for saying our fans were worse and more fickle than Alabama's or UT's...

 

And by 4 Top 10 recruiting classes, I assume it is meant:

 

Aldridge's class

Jimmy's Class

Crist's Class

Wood's Class

 

Because, Kuntz's class doesn't count. That's Ty's class.

 

I can't wait for the 2010 class. They're gonna be bad as hell.

You have clearly misinterpreted what I said and made a point for me. All this talent, and we lose to Syracuse? Get shutout by BC? I want as much talent as we can get but most schools get some decommitments when a coach is fired. What I'm saying is that based on what I've seen so far, CW will be fired next year because he can't develop this talent, and frankly can't coach at the college level.

 

Simple. If CW gets fired this year we may lose on some that have already committed such as Shaq Evans. But if he gets fired next year we may lose some committments at key positions like a five star LT.

Yes, I'm talking about those classes.

 

Top 10 recruiting classes in the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes.

 

If you can't win with that, you'll never win. Bottom line.

Okay, who is the other person who voted for 6-6. I'll admit to being one of them.

BTW, this coaching confusion is going to cause me to catch Sir John in posts.

7-5 we have a tougher schedule next year than this. Michigan will be better, BC and Pitt will be better. Nevada is tougher than everyone thinks.

i would rather have a great coach who is able to coach up average talent to become successful than an average coach who cant coach great talent and the team is a failure.

 

it doesnt matter how successful the talent coming in was at high school, in order to be successful at college against the elite teams you cant just count on that high school level talent.. you have to be coached and learn and improve to become elite at the college level.

Weis can bring in the great talent from high school, but what has he been able to do with it while its here??

 

3-9 last season, 6-6 this season ..next season im expecting atleast another 3 win improvement to 9-3.

8-4 would be a failure.

Weis will be 7-5 or 8-4 at best. Can't wait for all the "wait till next year, we are still a young team" crap to start again. God please have pity on old Notre Dame.

I said it last year, and I'll say it this year, if Latina and Mendoza are at ND.... 6-6
