Is Marcus freeman the guy we thought he was? Or have we been played…
I’m starting to get cooler Kelly vibes with freeman. More swag, less big game ability the past 2 years. He got his money bag, doesn’t seem to be the same sense of urgency.

He isn’t game day x and o s coach. He needs great coordinators. And we don’t have them
He is a motivator but his style of play is outdated.
And the in game part is not very good. He is an excellent face of the program and a great leader of the players but his coaching acumen in not very good nor does he look like he does much in the sideline. No yelling at officials not politicking and looks lost most of the time

You guys are being ridiculous.
We are AP #4.
We have an OC consider by several
Rankings to be #1.BYU owes us one more play.
I’m sticking with our players and coaches because I am not a bandwagon fan.

Denbrock is living off of Jayden Daniels and reputation
I'm watching podcasts of people with good football minds who are pointing out his multiple shortcomings.

I'm getting tired of the "molder of men" speeches from Freeman
He needs to jettison Denbrock and hire a modern OC.
But Freeman hasn't exactly had stellar results when it comes to Coordinator selection.

"Mr. Nice Guy" needs to be a bit less nice
People have to be held accountable for these nationally televised shit-the-bed performances -- including him.
Simply put, if Freeman doesn't see a problem, then he is the problem.

He could be but he's not. Not yet. He needs to show an unwillingness to accept mediocrity.
Especially to assistants. I can understand the kids. But these assistants need to be sent the message get the job done or gtfo.

Relax. We got out-played in a raucous environment.
By a very good team.
Bear played a great game. He was throwing darts. We did not pressure him much. Lots of holding not called but that is the rule when ND is in town.
Aside from the last couple drives, CJ was a bubble off. Credit BYU D schemes dropping seven often and rotating fresh fronts.
The targeting early, the fumble spike, the non PI and the time left on the clock…the football gods were not with us that night.
I did hate the predictable runs into an eight man brick wall after the interception. I was wrong about Denbrock. He had nothing new. He is what we thought he is.
Ash, no pressure, no sacks. No stunts. No shit.
That said, Vegas still has ND as favs (or close) to win it.
Go Irish. Beat Miami.

He doesnt need replaced, he needs an AD to step up and demand changes.
The gameplan was garbage. You are the more talented team impose your will. Dont try to contain them. And keep everything in front of you. Make them adjust to what youre doing. Disrupt them.

Very true. I've been trying to place my finger on what's different. That's it, we seemed to have
moved away from the mentality of imposing our will and playing like you are the more cocky and talented team that you are. The way you win is by taking it to someone. Not bending without breaking.

IMHO, looking in from the outside, MF needs to stop being everybody's pal.
That goes for his staff and players. Stop with the ESPN interviews and player podcasts and put the fear of Heaven in these guys. Is he even involved in meetings with his coordinators or does he just let them run their little fifedoms. Is MF angry at that pitiful display from last saturday and if he is, at who? I'm not even sure these coordinators know who they have and how to best utilize them. MF had six warm up games leading to BYU and just like OSU, Canes and A&M, it was a major flame out. And I'm saying it loud and clear right now, sleep on Navy at your own peril. Don't care what their record is.
