Why have players regressed? What assistants no longer want to be at ND? Is there an issue between MF and his staff? IMHO, this is beyond Xs and Os and game plans. Something deeper than what the fans can see. That's all we ever hear is this player or that player has to earn the staff's trust. Well, do they players trust their coaches? We see this in HS all the time. Good players aren't playing because of whatever BS nitpick excuse these glorified Pop Warner HS coaches have. Is this going on at ND? I don't know the answer to any of this. I'm just putting it out there.
