Its playoffs or bust almost EVERY year. 48% of ranked teams will be in the playoffs. As Norte Dame not being in a conference. They play for nothing but National Championship. So its a bad year if they don't make the playoffs
The Quarterback situation has been the issue for MF since he has started. This year looks better in the Quarterback room. The offense all together has been average but like you said with the OC hire things should look better. Let’s see how the first game and first Half in college station goes.
Bama doesn't win every year, Georgia doesn't win every year, etc. But, they have an idea of what it takes to win along with the will and desire. Summarily, winning comes along with time and effort. And, YOU know what it takes to win. But, one thing that you might not consider is this. You've had losses in the MF Era. Consider the consistent things you've assessed after those losses that made you lose and make sure you have them covered. You REALLY don't want to look back and say these same things consistently caused us to lose. Finally, the ND Community needs to collectively do what it takes to win. And, respect everyone in your Community and outside of your Community in the process. 🍀🏈🍀
I’m going to Kyle with Texas A&M alum for week 1, gonna suck to sit in that section but I’ll find out first hand just how hostile they are. If I don’t make it, at least there was one less Aggie there
@@Skifoot381I think nd fans will show up. I’m going as well. Was at Louisville last year heard nothing but bad things about them and they were the most pleasant people haha.
As many of us around here have been saying for the last 12 months, there is no mistaking the parallels between 'Money Ball' and the new tech in ND's recruitment under Marcus Freeman. It is clear that, while he is not the only reason that it is what it is, he is _why_ it is... He is a great recruiter and clearly a sensei in recruit-fu. What he is not/has not been is the game-day coach that, say, BK or Kiffin are. Its doubtful too many people here would trade MF for either of those two guys, but he MUST get the most out of the two true game day guys he has as coordinators this year while we still have them. He is so fast on his feet in so many ways, and if he is going to peer into his naval and meditate on what he needs to fix about himself next, it has to be that. He has the tools; the quality he has in staff and talent is the envy of 97% of the power conferences. You are clearly one of the smart guys in CFB. Fix it coach. Let's GO IRISH!

I see CJ Carr 2nd string at the start of the season
I love Carr. If the Deuce recruit holds out I hope both stick around

So you think Marcus should be counting the number of players on the field? Lack of knowledge of the coaching roles
What’s ironic is that I truly believe that college gameday doesn’t show up if this game is in South Bend.
Went to the last ND/A&M game at Kyle Field. It's a good game day environment to be sure, but not NEARLY as formidable as it is being made out to be.

We are going to GT game in ATL feel same way.
Good luck brother! We will honor your sacrifice!

As an old man and a lifelong ND fan, the Irish are in the middle of a gunfight with nothing but rocks in their pockets.

All those coaches who won or made it to national championship game all had multiple years of college head coaching on their resumes too
And they didn't start practicing at one of the top programs in the country, with all that pressure and attention either...
Most of the fan base already feels good about the MF era,we don't consider his 1st 2 season a disaster.
True. What I know is that MF is breaking his back to improve this program. I didn’t feel that way under the previous few coaches.
Good morning ☀️
I do. Love enthusiasm. Love recruiting. Not thrilled with actual game prep and coaching.
Go Irish 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
