I suspect he was told that he wasn't going to be #1 which is what he wanted. It's not the coaching staff fault he didn't want to stay for the #2 spot. The coaches aren't going to be second guessing themselves because Carr, by virtually all accounts, was the best QB on the team.
He got his ND degree and that is the important thing.

- No. I have attended 80% of all home games for the last 35 years because I don't like ND. Come on! [NT]

- Then why wish for bad things to happen to Carr to justify your position on Angeli? - Hensou - 9:24am 4/21/25
- IMO Carr is over-rated. Carr is injury prone. The guy threw 4 picks in a high school playoff game. I - irishslovak - 8:28pm 4/21/25
- He throws 4 INTs in a HS game so he's a bust? Why did Freeman recruit him? [NT]
- Hensou - 9:50am 4/22/25

- Why? The premise it's the staff's fault for not giving him the job is redonkuless - Quest4twelve - 11:24am 4/20/25
- He was more than "serviceable" - he excelled almost every time he played - MarkHarman - 12:37pm 4/20/25
- Truthfully I wanted Angeli to start against Miami but against a good pash rush - THEISMANCARR - 12:56pm 4/21/25
