Would have been better off staying at TAMU
He would easily have been RC Slocum's heir-apparent, and would have fit in better with their culture.
Instead, he tried to change ND's culture, and the rest is history...
His critical mistakes:
1) Hiring Jim Colletto as the OC. Colletto tried to turn a power-option team into a run 'n shoot team.
2) Sticking with Kevin Rogers for all of that time. Rogers was all too predictable, and didn't even bother making adjustments in that 2001 Fiesta Bowl, where the Oregon State defenders were already calling out the play we were about to run before we even snapped the ball.
3) Not giving Urban Meyer a fair shake. I will say this, that Meyer is a sleazeball, but had he been given a chance to strut his stuff at ND, I think that there's a chance he could have turned out differently.
4) Firing Joe Moore. That single-handedly demoralized the offensive linemen, and when some of the GA's protested, he simply told them "he's too old. Get over it!" While the offensive line wasn't awful during that time, it wasn't anywhere near the standard set during the Holtz era.
He wasn't without merit, though. He did build a solid defense that carried his teams throughout the years, and even gave Lionel Tyrone Wilingham a year of glory...
#1 for sure especially when you consider that he came from.a Power I background at O$U
Rogers was supposed to scheme an offense that complemented DT QBs but it go rather vanilla during his tenure.
Urban Meyer definitely should've gotten a bigger role while he was at ND and I think that played apart in him never coming back to join the staff as a coach.
Loved Moore but he was getting a bit long in the tooth and was actually fired due to his age by Davie.
He was ND's coach before Tyrone Whittingham and Charlie Weiss

And also Brian Kelley, I believe.

That was a heavy drinking as well as drug consumption for many ND fans.

Rated as the best overall kicker
Strong, accurate leg.
Over 4 seconds of a hang time on his kickoffs, which is top notch for a high schooler.

Currently #2, but I think he's better than Ryan Jung and outperformed him in camp.

Who will be the punter this year? Schmidt or Scaife?
(no message)
Schmidt will definitely get first crack and should be fine he was an "elite" punter recruit

ND should always have an excellent kicker and punter, Makes a huge difference in close games.

Agreed, especially since you can find All Pro potential on the soccer field๐
