It is obvious that the program was stale and in serious decline. The resurgence under Red in such a short time is simply remarkable and beyond anything im sure most of us expected. Jim took time to become a good game coach as have many great coaches. Im sure Red will have his ups and downs as well. At this point he has exceeded all expectations and i believe his in game coaching will as well.
Jim inherited an incredible program from Roy and it took him years to become a "master". Red will take time as well.
What is a co-expert?
Very true. But in my experience basketball is the toughest sport to game coach. It's just so fast and so many things happening at once. And when you're on that sideline, in charge, it changes things. I was amazed at how much harder it was to see and react as head coach than it was as an assistant seeing and whispering ideas or watching a game at home on my couch. It's hard to explain. I was a mediocre basketball coach usually blessed with better talent so I can only think of a few times I got in the way thankfully because that is a lonely feeling. I never felt that way coaching football or baseball (my real sport). Those sports are much easier to look ahead and prepare alternatives because they are much slower. I've got every confidence that AA will be fine on game day. He just has to be ready and decisive during the few key moments he'll run into every game. I can't wait to see him on the sideline. He was one of my favorite Orangemen and look forward to seeing him in the spotlight again, its been too long.
Yup. ND is a lock to lose 20 games this season. I think he got the men’s and women’s programs at ND confused.
Two things I take very interesting that article...And he has an interesting take on Joe Girard 3.

That first name is interesting!
Who is critical of Coach Sanders? They won 1 game last year.
you haven’t paid enough attention if you didn’t see people having issues with his roster overhaul and the way he went about it. Did he deserve it? I don’t think so but it still happened.
Put this on a tee for someone.
Zero wins as of now. None of this means anything. I’m waiting to see the results.
