      - I totally agree w this [NT] - Jerseymick - 10:57am 2/8/23
- Ludwig [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 9:32pm 2/7/23

  - Even if hired Leftwich would be a one and done as he looks for next NFL job. [NT] - DakIrish - 9:55pm 2/7/23
    - Pure conjecture. [NT] - Hensou - 10:01pm 2/7/23
    - Absolutely, be wary of people seeking ND out - cubsfanin16 - 9:58pm 2/7/23
      - The only opinion that matters is Freeman’s. [NT] - Hensou - 10:02pm 2/7/23
  - I'm not at all sold on him either based off what he has done so far. I think Candle is a good - tky21 - 9:38pm 2/7/23
    - Which candidate has been more successful than Leftwich? - Hensou - 10:07pm 2/7/23
      - More successful? Leftwich had one good year and then some bad ones as well with TB. No CFB - tky21 - 7:07am 2/8/23

OC is not going to be a major change. - koreasam - 4:59pm 2/7/23 (7) [View All]
- Maybe not. We've not seen what TR would do with better talent (esp. at QB position). But talent - tky21 - 9:45pm 2/7/23
- Disagree. What you describe as Big boy football is rather archaic and surely won't get you a NC - NDQuebec - 6:15pm 2/7/23
  - As you say "Big Boy" football will get you to 10-2 but to go further you need some difference makers - THEISMANCARR - 11:45am 2/8/23
  - Fuller was an equalizer...he struck fear in people...the safetys - beefy78 - 6:41pm 2/7/23
    - Delete. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 11:48am 2/8/23

  - Leftwich may be the only one who was proactive. [NT] - Hensou - 6:42pm 2/7/23
    - Not so. I’ve sent in my resume. The ball is in Freeman’s court now. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:49pm 2/7/23

- Re: I think it'a cool that Byron Leftwich reached out to ND. - Rocketman84 - 1:25pm 2/7/23
  - Not if he can't recruit, but I guess NIL has taken some of the wind out of that sail... [NT] - Jerseymick - 4:21pm 2/7/23
- If he reached out it means nobody was knocking down his door to hire him. [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 11:34am 2/7/23
  - Exactly, a fired NFL coordinator, no thanks [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 12:28pm 2/7/23

  - Which ND OC candidates are getting their door knocked down? [NT] - Hensou - 11:45am 2/7/23
    - That’s a great question. [NT] - whatsamataU - 2:46pm 2/7/23
- I agree. No candidate is perfect. But a Super Bowl winning player and coach being interested is cool - Karamello - 10:05am 2/7/23
- No, it was a call from DonMiller that got him interested. [NT] - Irishize - 9:32am 2/7/23
  - Create stability. ND is not a destination stop for Leftwich IMHO. Short timers need not apply. [NT] - ELP - 7:24pm 2/7/23
    - Bingo. He would bolt back to NFL if the chance arose, losing recruits with no staff continuity. [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 7:32pm 2/7/23

- WIP radio sports talk Philly reports that Johnson will interview with ND after the Super Bowl [NT] - irishslovak - 4:34pm 2/7/23
- He has done a great job developing Jalen Hurts. Hartman doesn't fit the bill as his type of QB - irishslovak - 11:20pm 2/6/23
  - What do you mean he doesnt? Not seen Hartman run? He's not built like Hurts but he's athletic [NT] - Karamello - 3:14pm 2/7/23

  - Hope they don't resort to Dirty Deeds [NT] - MarkHarman - 7:33pm 2/7/23
  - He's TNT. [NT] - PaND - 9:30am 2/7/23
- Wake's OC Ruggiero should be pursued heavily, with ND talent would be great. - NocalIrish - 10:13pm 2/6/23
  - Slow RPO is what Hartman sought to escape. Bleh. Step backward. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 12:39am 2/7/23

- They need some one with strong teaching skills. [NT] - whatsamataU - 8:20am 2/7/23
- Be a great hire. From Tommy Rees to 10yr NFL, Super Bowl winning QB and OC Leftwich. [NT] - Karamello - 12:18am 2/7/23
- Would be a crap hire. But would help equity. diversion, and inclusion so we got that going for us. [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 10:19pm 2/6/23
  - Yeah, Super Bowl winning OC and long-time QB under an elite coaching tree is a DEI reach - Turkish - 4:34pm 2/7/23
    - Super Bowl winning OC big deal. Charlie Weiss did that too. Don't mean shit. [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 9:58pm 2/7/23
      - So was Charlie Weis a DEI reach? - Turkish - 9:46am 2/8/23
  - Get it right. It's diversity, equity and inclusion in that order. I must now report you [NT] - MarkHarman - 11:01pm 2/6/23
    - I've been arrested by the acronym police several times before. [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 6:24am 2/7/23

    - Would rather Chris Godwin as the best offensive player with - ndphysics - 8:35pm 2/6/23
- I’d be concerned about this given his lack of college experience. Different levels [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:57pm 2/6/23
  - Has a Super Bowl ring and NFL connections. He’d be a fine choice. - Hensou - 8:08pm 2/6/23
    - Charlie Weis? [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 10:15pm 2/6/23
    - A Tom Brady SuperBowl ring gets an asterisk. No recruiting track record to assess, and teaching kids - BaronVonZemo - 9:33pm 2/6/23
      - It does not "get an asterisk". Leftwich earned it. Ask Brady, who has major respect for the guy. - Hensou - 9:28am 2/7/23
        Ok. Can he recruit, can he teach college age kids? Maybe…but we have no track record to go by. - BaronVonZemo - 12:58pm 2/7/23
        OC's delegate much teaching to assistants. - Hensou - 1:29pm 2/7/23
    - Oh, he has NFL connections? So what? Having NFL connections doesn't mean your college players will - IrishChristopher - 8:27pm 2/6/23
      - I agree and share the same concerns. [NT] - oldirish - 9:20pm 2/6/23
      - Yes the NFL experience really hurts him. - Hensou - 8:37pm 2/6/23
    - The list of coaches who have rings off Tom Brady play is Looooonnnng - Chrisb - 8:21pm 2/6/23
      - Including one with a decided schematic advantage. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 9:34pm 2/6/23
      - Doesn’t devalue him one bit. [NT] - Hensou - 8:27pm 2/6/23
        Doesn't value him one bit either...what good offense has he led not QB by Tom Brady? [NT] - Chrisb - 8:29pm 2/6/23
        Had the #3 offense (#1 passing) in 2019 with Winston (5100yds). Evans and Godwin both had 1000yd [NT] - Karamello - 10:07am 2/7/23

  - Denbrock was terrible. Why go there again? [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:06pm 2/6/23
    - He's a good recruiter. I didnt think he was bad at ND 465yds/gam & he's done well at Cinci and LSU. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:49pm 2/6/23
  - Whoever it is has to recruit well. [NT] - DiscoRick - 6:33pm 2/6/23

Unless the new OC is a home run hire, we're gonna regret Rees left - MarkHarman - 9:40pm 2/3/23 (28) [View All]

  - This is either a joke or the biggest set of excuses I've ever read. Did he not play a role in dev? [NT] - oldirish - 8:01am 2/4/23
