That's fair. He had Pyne/Buchner then Hartman.

Was a little more pass forward with Hartman, but Freeman chose Leonard too. Maybe because of no WR's. But either way, I'd say the offense tends conservative on the whole.

I'd also say when you're defense is giving up points in bunches it's going to by necessity lead to a more aggressive passing attack unless the Ocoord is a complete dolt.

    • If the call is right, but the players can't execute the call, the call is not right. [NT] - DiscoRick - 10:29pm 9/15/25

    • Sounds Kellyesque. Almost like absolving the coaches and blaming the players. [NT] - NDQuebec - 1:58pm 9/15/25
      • Playcalls don't matter when fundamentals slip. Missed Tackles, blown assignments reflect coaching - Turkish - 3:57pm 9/15/25
        • He was more nuanced today but when he says it's a lack of execution, sounds like blaming players [NT] - NDQuebec - 5:44pm 9/15/25
          • Understand the feeling. I hear play calls are not problem when fundamentals poor - Turkish - 8:26pm 9/15/25

    • Is he channeling his inner Brian Kelly? [NT] - ndphysics - 12:31pm 9/15/25
    • Scheme is great but D is out of position, gets no penetration and can’t tackle - still coaching [NT] - LanceManion - 12:03pm 9/15/25
      • Yes yes yes. Players who could learn last year's D suddenly can't learn this year's? [NT] - jrdjr84 - 2:03pm 9/15/25
      • Yep, sure is. Can't blame the kids if the coaches let them get away with not executing properly. [NT] - DiscoRick - 1:58pm 9/15/25
    • Privately, it's, "Get your shiite together or I take over the D and hit the bricks." Pathetic. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 11:54am 9/15/25
      • I'm betting it's not. Freeman seems to like Tressel ball. [NT] - DiscoRick - 1:56pm 9/15/25
        • I don't get this remark. If he liked "Tressel ball" Love would have had more carries vs. Miami - Turkish - 3:59pm 9/15/25
          • Talking about the D. And Freeman seems to have approved of this hire and scheme. - DiscoRick - 5:28pm 9/15/25
            • Even D only, pretty aggressive under both MF and Golden - Turkish - 8:30pm 9/15/25
              • I agree Golden was aggressive. Not so sure Freeman is. Don't think Tressel would win one in 2025. - DiscoRick - 9:56pm 9/15/25
          • Also, 2023 was ND's highest PPG in history, and we just scored 40 points (7 from ST, but still) - Turkish - 4:04pm 9/15/25
            • Again, talking about defense. And the Miami game sure didn't look like - DiscoRick - 5:31pm 9/15/25
              • Offense has only been really “run forward” last year - Turkish - 8:31pm 9/15/25
                • That's fair. He had Pyne/Buchner then Hartman. - DiscoRick - 10:01pm 9/15/25
      • At some point somebody on D has to make a play. There were opportunities. - ELP - 12:39pm 9/15/25
        • You are right but coaches have to drill the fundamentals and put the players in position to make - NDQuebec - 2:10pm 9/15/25
          • I'm thinking MF gets heavily involved in the defense. Meetings, scheming, maybe even calling defense - ELP - 4:12pm 9/15/25
          • Speaking of tackling, I think Shuler got screwed and was attempting to make the same type tackle he - THEISMANCARR - 2:37pm 9/15/25
