Coaching coaching coaching. ND was pretty damn good last year and all of a sudden they’ve dropped off. Maybe it was the hasty, feel good head coach pick in elevating 36 year old defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman and not getting an experienced coach who understands the rigors of bringing together all the elements of a successful program.

I remember seeing the video of all the ND players cheering Freeman‘s selection. He’s a players’ coach and a damn good recruiter but the jury is out on his game planning/game day coaching. Perhaps shades of the Scott Schaeffer pick on our part. I’m all for continuity but it can be risky. You don’t win these games with charisma and chest bumps. I mean why should they have such a fall off when they’re restocking with 4 and 5 star recruits generally.

Why are we do much improved? Coaching, coaching coaching.

Hope they’re flat as a pancake when we play them. They’ve got an awful lot of talent but right now it’s inexplicably dormant.
