Marcus Freeman says he'll spend more time with Notre Dame's defense 'if that's what's necessary'

Pull the Band-Aid off already the guy stinks
He’s not up to this, if he were he’d have fixed it during the bye week.
At one point in late in the first half, we were giving up 10 yards a play.
What actually is the goal of a Chris Ash defense? To tired the opponent out from running 100 yards unabated?
Why was this guy hired? Why not hire someone who knows Golden’s system & would be a smooth transition to an already well-oiled machine?
The coordinator position are very big & important decisions, going forward, imho, more people have to be involved in the hiring, vetting process.
This guy was a scout, not even coaching. What was he scouting? Were any of his suggestions while “scouting” implemented?
Is “scouting” just a holding tank for the unemployed coaches?
This is the second time this has happened (OC Parker the other). A guy who’s on TV a lot said “We only get so many ‘guaranteed opportunities” well how ‘bout we stop pissing them away with retreads/insufficient coaching hires.
The ND faithful care about this alot. Their support of the program should be rewarded with competent care of the program. Aka “Max out”
Every decision should be does this get us closer to a National Championship? Is this decision making us better? You can start using those questions as to who’s going to take over running the defense the rest of the way.
Just my 2 cents as always I could be wrong
Go Irish
PS if we are passing the hat to bring Golden back, I’ll give.
Preach!!!!

What's necessary is you have some clue what your DCoord. is doing with a top ranked defense.

I too had hope that MF had turned a corner after last year's playoff run. But these two losses are
similar to Kelly era losses, with the difference that ND's talent is on par, if not better, than Miami and A&M.
Brian Kelly would regularly get blown out in these losses. Marcus Freeman has never lost by >13 pts
He has only lost 4 games by more than one score in 3 years.
Not entirely accurate. Both Georgia regular season games under Kelly were one score games. One was
1 point. But I never thought ND had better talent than those GA teams.
I never said he only lost by >13 points. MF has never been blown out. BK was almost annually
And nearly always got blown out on the biggest stage. All of his playoff games and the 2012 NC game.

MF would probably be a decent guy to work for, but he’s unaware as a politician

He's the HC. "As I deem necessary"...or something along those lines would be more fitting.

Right. That's the problem in a nutshell.

Doubt it. He just won’t say more publicly. He had to do it mid year w/ OC Jarad Parker as well and
while they said nothing else, the word is that he did it … and that was his close friend.
I do think it was phrased to offer (a little) cover for Ash…

I agree, Freeman has been through this before.

Yes Marcus, that seems to be what's necessary. Probably was necessary since Fall camp.

Now I know why earlier this year, Forbes noted that UND was
voted the best employer to work for - its apparent that incompetence & lack of accountability get rewarded
I am curious, what would happen to a faculty member that didn’t do a good job
Of teaching, research or mentoring students?
I assume it would be dealt within some established protocols. Same rules apply here.
Fix it or find another job. We are failing our student athletes
Tenured?

That would matter wouldn’t it.

But faculty members don't get paid millions of dollars per year.
With that exoribitant amount of money comes the expectation that you won't completely shit the bed doing your job. $50/hr. You still expect competence, but not quite the millionaire level.
Yet, I'd bet they get less freedom doing their jobs and less leeway for mistakes.
What a dichotomous world we live in.....professors w/advanced degrees in math, science, economics..
being paid a fraction of what is paid to these knucklehead (phys. ed. majors) coaches, to teach our next generation how to make our world a much better place. Unbelievable....!
I guess it's better than ancient Rome.
