Fallacies that must... absolutely MUST be corrected:
1. You can NOT hire a head coach who has no prior head coaching experience... ESPECIALLY at a place like Notre Dame. Its ridiculous to think being an assistant coach at Notre Dame is the same as being a head coach at Notre Dame. That is just STUPID!!!!
2. You cannot give an untried, untested new head coach, with no prior head coaching experience, a long-term contract without first proving himself for say, 2 or 3 years. Such an untried new head coach should NEVER be hired in the first place. To do otherwise is just STUPID!!!
3. You cannot hire a head coach because the "players like him." Freeman was and is popular with players, but that never, never, never translates into quality play. Players didn't necessarily "like:" Frank Leahy because he was so tough on them... BUT they played well enough for him to win four national championships. A coach's "likability" can NEVER be a factor in hiring a head coach. To think so is just STUPID!!!
4. The so-called "portal" MUST come to an end. You cannot build a quality organization by bringing in last minute people who then take precedence over players who have been there and been loyal to your program for years. Build your program with people who actually have been there, understand your environment, and actually WANT to be there. Riley Leonard should NEVER have been made the starter over Angeli... NEVER!!! Its terrible for group morale. To think otherwise is just STUPID!!!
5. Notre Dame MUST initiate a policy that new recruits sign a legally binding contract to stay the length of time stipulated in the contract. NO PORTAL BULLSHIT. It doesn't work and think it does is just STUPID!!!
6. When a player demonstrates a lack of ability... for instance, can't throw a pass down field over twenty yards... then that player MUST be yanked out of a game ASAP. To leave an unqualified player in a game is just STUPID!!!!
STOP THE STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
