Freeman's version of: "Get used to it"

Sounds Kellyesque. Almost like absolving the coaches and blaming the players.

Playcalls don't matter when fundamentals slip. Missed Tackles, blown assignments reflect coaching

He was more nuanced today but when he says it's a lack of execution, sounds like blaming players

Is he channeling his inner Brian Kelly?

Scheme is great but D is out of position, gets no penetration and can’t tackle - still coaching

Yes yes yes. Players who could learn last year's D suddenly can't learn this year's?

Yep, sure is. Can't blame the kids if the coaches let them get away with not executing properly.

Privately, it's, "Get your shiite together or I take over the D and hit the bricks." Pathetic.

I'm betting it's not. Freeman seems to like Tressel ball.

I don't get this remark. If he liked "Tressel ball" Love would have had more carries vs. Miami

Also, 2023 was ND's highest PPG in history, and we just scored 40 points (7 from ST, but still)

Again, talking about defense. And the Miami game sure didn't look like

At some point somebody on D has to make a play. There were opportunities.

You are right but coaches have to drill the fundamentals and put the players in position to make

I'm thinking MF gets heavily involved in the defense. Meetings, scheming, maybe even calling defense

Speaking of tackling, I think Shuler got screwed and was attempting to make the same type tackle he
