People here in the game thread will be calling for his head after Notre Dame’s first first down.

I am calling for his head after seeing what the Notre Dame offense did to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl. ND put up 35, which is basically similar to the 45 that Utah put up on Barnes.

I don't need to wait for the Spring game. I have seen enough already.

And for good measure, please Fire Fickell (although he did lose to Bama by fewer points than the Buckeyes).

I think one of the first things that Knowles should do is make every position on defense an open competition(except Denzel Burke's spot, IMO). I haven't seen a defensive player play with much hunger, and the 2nd half of the Rose Bowl was nice, but the 1st half was a nightmare. And any team that played with any type of physicality exposed the defense. If that means we have more grumbling upperclassmen, than so be it. I rather have a competent defense, than playing guys for the sake of their feelings.

Thing is, that player also needs to be one of your best players. And our veterans aren't the most talented, the younger kids are...
