Game 1 HE decides to take his AA out the game instead of the opposition doing it🤔🤔

Game 2 no adjustments on the DL, poor clock management and after a TO for the play of the game you come with a weak 4 man front??🤔🤔

Then of course TWICE having those inexcusable blunders against Ohio St by not having enough men on the field.

Trend of absent mindedness in big games is disturbing

Freeman is first ND HC to ever have two 0-2 starts. - AlbanyIRISH - 12:46am 9/16/25 (46) [View All]
- And there have been some pretty bad coaches at Notre Dame before [NT] - OklahomaIrishman - 11:30pm 9/16/25
- Freeman also decided to hire a guy who's past defenses allowed 38, 29, 31, 37 & 29ppg - Rocketman84 - 4:21am 9/16/25
  - Wondering if MF's mentor, Jim Tressel urged him to hire Ash?? [NT] - NEPA Irish - 12:05pm 9/16/25
    - oh great he can’t think on his own! [NT] - whatsamataU - 11:33pm 9/16/25
    - The word is Meyer sold him on Ash. - AlbanyIRISH - 3:43pm 9/16/25
      - There is certainly no question that Meyer is an Ashman... [IMAGE] - TakethetrainKnute - 3:56pm 9/16/25
        It all becomes clear, MF asked for UM's recommendation over the phone and thought - Clem - 4:19pm 9/16/25
        Needs to take that phone number and burn it. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:26pm 9/16/25
    - I'd worry...about his vested interest... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 3:31pm 9/16/25
    - Then he needs a new mentor. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 12:40pm 9/16/25
  - On the bright side, this is the best way to force the offense to catch up w/ the times: score often [NT] - oldirish - 11:13am 9/16/25
    - Good point!!! It's about the only thing that could do it. [NT] - DiscoRick - 3:58pm 9/16/25
  - And clearly expects his results to be much better than they've been everywhere else. - Clem - 10:57am 9/16/25
- The asinine scheduling isn't helping him. - clements2 - 3:01am 9/16/25
  - That's price you pay when you want to remain an Independent [NT] - NEPA Irish - 12:07pm 9/16/25
  - If you are truly good, you win both games without any real struggle. Neither team is great. [NT] - oldirish - 11:15am 9/16/25
    - That's an outdated way of thinking - clements2 - 6:19pm 9/16/25
      - It's the only way of thinking. Otherwise you are a loser sitting home at 0-2. - oldirish - 12:21am 9/17/25
  - Don’t disagree, but win one of 2 then win out & we’re in the playoffs [NT] - LanceManion - 3:07am 9/16/25
    - No other team does this shit. - clements2 - 3:12am 9/16/25
      - Two buzz saws because we aren’t very good? - WoodstockIrish - 11:29am 9/16/25
      - It’s completely idiotic but front-loaded schedules may be the cost of independence - LanceManion - 3:18am 9/16/25
        Yep, or get a better conference affiliation. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:00pm 9/16/25
        
        Texas A&M is a far cry from a Top SEC team [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 11:33am 9/16/25
        Top modified ACC not SEC - point taken & my fault [NT] - LanceManion - 4:02pm 9/16/25
        
        I don't buy that. - clements2 - 3:28am 9/16/25
        Most teams want big out of conference games early. USC is trying to do it too. - ndphysics - 9:36am 9/16/25
        Or we need to schedule a week zero patsy like most teams do. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:01pm 9/16/25
        
        Last year was relatively easy schedule then we lost to NIU [NT] - LanceManion - 4:02am 9/16/25
        they opened at A&M - clements2 - 4:43am 9/16/25
        Front load that schedule with SEC juggernauts. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:12pm 9/16/25
        
        And A&M lost 5 games last year, so what? [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 11:34am 9/16/25
- He seems to recognize & address mistakes but the mistakes w/b avoided by an experienced coach [NT] - LanceManion - 2:57am 9/16/25
  - Agreed, his inexperience is showing. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:03pm 9/16/25
  - In MF's tenure there is a lot of niavete. A lot of self inflicted unforced errors. A lot of lack of - oldirish - 11:17am 9/16/25
- I think you can win with Freeman, but he needs the right coordinators. - DiscoRick - 2:06am 9/16/25
  - There isn't a coach out there that doesn't need elite coordinators. Saban had former HCs as analyst - Turkish - 7:00pm 9/16/25
  - Freeman needs to be managed, not because he is reckless but because he lacks experience - LanceManion - 3:00am 9/16/25
    - Agreed, and he's the polar opposite of reckless. Very conservative. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:04pm 9/16/25
    - ^^^^^^^ [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 11:06am 9/16/25
    - The hire of Chris ASS is about as reckless as it gets... inexcusable [NT] - Rocketman84 - 4:23am 9/16/25
      - 100% failure of a hire, but he naively relied on Urban Meyer’s endorsement - LanceManion - 4:30am 9/16/25
        He's learning on the job. Needs experience coords and good ones, not re'treads. And an AD's help. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:09pm 9/16/25
- He also has record for most Top 25 wins his first 3 years [NT] - Turkish - 1:26am 9/16/25
  - ...and losses to NIU and Marshall. - clements2 - 3:22am 9/16/25
