Was concerned at the pick but hoped he would grow into the position.

Year 3 and he has not. Unfortunate.

He will not be let go. however, barring a wheels off collapse...

Astounding that in over 40 years ND has only had 2 coaching picks that made real sense, Holtz and Kelly. (O'Leary made sense as well but the poor vetting was their fault.)

Unlike Swarbrick when Kelly left, Bevacqua had better be ready at any moment to get the best HC (that fits) available. In December 2026, he better have the best most successful HC he can get his hands on, that works for ND, lined up and ready to go. Money no object.

The malpractice in hiring coaches has been astounding.

    • Brian Kelly wasn’t nice and where did that get us? - NDWisconsin - 9:19am 9/9/24
      • 5 ten win plus seasons. He wasn’t the guy but neither is Marcus. [NT] - LanceManion - 9:52am 9/9/24
        • Also a 4-8 one and losing just about every big game. [NT] - Frank L - 10:04am 9/9/24
    • Many of the fans have been 'too nice' in continuously supporting MF no matter what he does - bobdrake - 8:54am 9/9/24
    • Was concerned at the pick but hoped he would grow into the position. - TakethetrainKnute - 8:30am 9/9/24
      • Agree. ND seems to get it wrong in coaching hires a lot more than they get it right. - LanceManion - 8:43am 9/9/24
      • The malpractice you speak of is specific to hiring guys without prior HC experience.. - Chrisb - 8:42am 9/9/24

          • Sadly, I think this is the case as well [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 9:28am 9/9/24
        • Agree. Started with Faust...where ND exhibited the hubris to believe it could create a Rockne-type - TakethetrainKnute - 8:51am 9/9/24
          • It actually started with Terry Brennan, with whom they tried to do the same thing. He'd only coached - MAS - 9:05am 9/9/24
            • We've had plenty of disappointments with experienced coaches too. I get it though. I hear ya. [NT] - ELP - 9:08am 9/9/24
              • No we have not...that is a flat out lie. ty and Kelly have the worst two win % among - Chrisb - 9:16am 9/9/24
                • Stop being a childish wise ass.That's the only response you're getting. [NT] - ELP - 9:28am 9/9/24
                  • ELP...I apologize for what I said, it was over the line to say you lied, let's start over.. - Chrisb - 11:36am 9/9/24
