It seems like Notre Dame football is at a major crossroads, with significant changes happening after an impressive 14-2 season. Despite the success, it's clear that the program's staff turnover is creating some big challenges for head coach Marcus Freeman. But it also looks like Freeman is working diligently to navigate these changes by bringing in some strong new hires.
Chris Ash replaces Al Golden
The decision to replace Al Golden with Chris Ash seems strategic, especially considering Ash's background with defensive backs and his leadership beside Luke Fickell. Golden's style was clearly popular, so it'll be interesting to see if Ash’s fiery approach can maintain that same level of success. His expertise should complement the strong defensive talent already present, but the transition could still have its bumps.
Ja’Juan Seider is a big get
With the talented trio of Jerimiyah Love, Jadarian Price, and Aneyas Williams at running back, having someone with Seider’s track record will certainly keep that position as a strength. His experience with developing 1,000-yard rushers at Penn State is a major win for the Irish.
A new GM (Mike Martin)
The search for a new General Manager is definitely an intriguing one. The evolving nature of college football’s rules around recruiting, the transfer portal, and NIL demands a savvy, experienced leader. Mike Martin seems like an excellent choice to help navigate this new era, and building out a robust scouting department could help the Irish gain an edge on the competition, especially with such a complex landscape.
Building for Long-Term Success
All in all, Marcus Freeman is making moves to stay ahead of the curve, and while there are inevitable challenges, these hires could help position Notre Dame for continued success. It's exciting to see how these changes will unfold and if they'll pay off in the long run. What do you think of these moves? Does the future of Notre Dame football look bright to you?

@Mike as usual the thread titles are yours. 3rd straight week of a new member finding this thread. All credit to you,
Now on to Football. Another chance to put a big number up and get all 4 qbs in if ND plays up to their Standard.
i ALWAYS expect bad news on the injury front.
The Fighting Chuck Martin's. I love that dude. @Mike Chuck Martin was on Brian Kelly's original staff. Coached safeties and eventually crossed over to be the offensive coordinator on the team that got throttled by Alabama in 2012. He took over for Kelly at Grand Valley State and led the Lakers to several National Titles at that Level. Came to ND and helped make the team tougher but in the end wasn't known for scheme. Made the news for saying a big program stole his kicker early in the year.
I won't be around to take presser notes. But if @Baldy could do his X genius. I'd be a grateful teammate. @tneun89 and @InLikeFlynn what are the keys to victory? @NYGoldenDomer How do we get back up these rankings?
