So this ain’t good?

It’s great in my book!

I would just like to point out that, so far this season, I have thrown as many TD passes as ND QBs have.

Well sure, everything looks bad if you remember it.
Sorry - Simpsons quote and I don't see it in the first 3 results on Youtube.

Oh right - the Chili Cookoff / Space Coyote episode. Classic.

Saban wasn't in East Lansing either. Give the kid some time. You never know... He may be next in Columbus

Gosh, if they'd just lower their academic standards and quit requiring football players to have 1500 SAT scores.

Is that bad?

Kelly should have stayed. His last 4 years he was 44-6. Maybe he wore out his welcome but going 44-6 over a 4 year span is damn good and now ND looks vastly overrated and Kelly already looks stressed beating up tables at LSU.

You say that as if his face didn't turn every shade of purple at ND too. He's an angry man no matter where he coaches

He should've passed on being the HC, but not sure how any coach would do that with their finances and resources. But ND is one of the hardest programs in the country to make successful. He was better off replacing Fickell at UC and then earning his way up to a position at a program with more local talent. But Freeman hasn't helped himself with questionable hiring and even more questionable in game management. If Knowles were to leave I'd bring him in as DC, but no way would I want him replacing Day any time soon

Yeah, not too many (if any) coordinators would pass on a $6.68M a year job as HC at ND; and it is reportedly a 6 year contract* too. As you alluded to, the secret to success for any college football head coaching position is being able to hire great assistants.

Sources informed Football Scoop and Irish Illustrated that Freeman signed a six-year contract worth $42 million on Dec. 1, 2021.

And if you add up their ages, you get 1/4 of yours…or something
