Then Swarbrick allayed my fears, (by lying of course) that there would be a national search, and he already had interested candidates....He knew he was picking Marcus Freman from the beginning....Any program with ND's storied history, and cachet, should be filling head coach vacancies only thru a national search, with highly qualified candidates identified either by search firms, via intermediaries, direct apps, or identified by AD himself..Interviews should have been conducted and most highly qualified candidate selected, whether it be luke Fickell, Marcus Freeman, or Nick Saban, I can dream.....Why you would hand the keys to someone without this process boggles my mind, its pure laziness..
Now, as someone said, we have to await to see if we have Faust 2.0...And the bowl performance was unnerving..
I still dont understand, why in interest of continuity, Freeman didnt keep defensive coaches alone, and coach the D himself...Especially since he had nothing to do with offense, and delegated totally to Rees..
