- The Irish offense struggled throughout the day and Sam Hartman was 12-25 with 146 yards & 2 interceptions as Notre Dame lost to Clemson 31-23. Matt & Pete give their thoughts on the loss and where this leaves Marcus Freeman’s team heading into the final two games of the season.
With the end of the regular season already in sight and a New Year’s Six bowl likely out of reach the discussion shifts to what offseason changes might come down the line for Notre Dame.
Demote Parker to TE coach and get a new OC.
They should have Al Golden break down ND’s offensive tape & tell them what they’re doing wrong & how to fix it.
Why is this such a novel idea? Make it happen!
The defining theme of Marcus Freeman’s tenure so far is the fact that his offenses are terrible. ND’s offense has not been this bad in a long time. Maybe since 2007. There is no quick fix. If I am Freeman, I am making wholesale changes to the staff. If it affects the recruiting class, so be it. Because, if the offense is this bad again next year, Freeman could get fired.
Pete having to bring up BK anytime he can is pathetic.
If Parkers offense is this bad with a veteran QB , what can we expect next year if ND does not bring in a transfer ? They have to get a proven OC. They will have 3 young QBs next year that need proven coaching.
AND .............A NEW OFF CORD !
Easier said than done. I wouldn’t take the risk of coaching at ND. Hard to win with your hands tied behind your back…
The whole staff should have lost their job after the Ohio St game.
I love that the worst buckeye team in 10 years is still playing for everything in November 😂
The fact that Swarbrick is a domer is really disconcerting because football is ND’s brand and money should be NO OBJECT and because football put ND on the map!!!
Um. I was high on Stuck like everyone else, but at this point, to me, since we are talking about jobs.... Stuck is not cutting it. Even if he has finally hit on a couple 24 and 25 recruits, which I am not sure he has, the past few years are inexcusable. AND why are HIS receivers still unable to get open? They only thing they are doing well at this point in the season is blocking. I like receivers to block well, but in both of the past two seasons they didn't start out blocking well, and they didn't progressively get better, it was all up and down.
The simple answer is second rate coaching staff.
Nothing needs too be said!
It’s just confounding how different this team is at home vs on the road. Freeman needs to take a long, hard look at the team’s routine for road game preparation. Something is very clearly wrong there, on top of the offensive coordinator, lack of receivers, injuries, etc.
I think we all also overestimated Hartman. It’s obviously hard to be a good quarterback when you don’t have any real go-to receivers, but Hartman was just not good against Louisville and Clemson. Not just a net 0, like a non-factor, but he was a reason we lost. He missed a LOT of throws today, and probably should’ve had 4 interceptions instead of 2. It looks more and more like he’s a system quarterback, and the Notre Dame system (if there is one) doesn’t mesh with Hartman. Especially since Parker runs possibly the most predictable offense I’ve seen.
The future of the program and this staff depends on their work in the portal this year to get receivers. Brian Kelly was not a good receiver recruiter. He left Freeman in a terrible spot in terms of receivers. Cam Williams is the first receiver recruit ranked in the top-50 overall nationally since Charlie Weis. And we’re seeing something with Ohio State this year-you can get by with an above-average quarterback if you have studs at receiver. We can get by next year with Angeli or Minchey or a transfer (or Carr, who knows) if we get at least ONE GREAT receiver in the portal. But they need to execute on that.
Lastly, I’m very hopeful for Bevacqua. From what I’ve heard from people at NBC, it would be shocking if Bevacqua doesn’t put in more/better effort than Swarbrick into taking the football team to the top tier once again.
Actually one more thing: is the Matt Balis departure much bigger than we thought?
PROMISES PROMISES ! ................WITH BEVE. Expect a J.S CLONE .
Hmm.. maybe ND just isn’t that good.
@@tl7975 And that starts with ...................The LAME AD !
ND just isn’t elite anymore. Coach, AD,Facilities, NIL, Portal, Academics, etc. Pick your excuse. This TV bozo won’t make a difference.
Why go to the portal, what exactly is Geno's job?
How does a top flight program, (ND), not field a powerhouse every year? Should their recruiting staff be scrutinized? Maybe it's the coaching staff?
Freeman is too nice and needs to drum it into his head that he’s the head coach and has to start acting like it. Fire fire fire where you need to and get the hell the people you need to succeed!!
Don’t let swarbrick touch ANY of Marcus’ off season moves. That guy has handicapped this program more than anyone else, with results seen directly on the field this season. GTFO NOW JACK!
how is moving on from Hartman now not part of the conversation???
you trust ron powlus (a walking doofus) to be able to handle contract negotiations again?
WHAT THE HELL................DOES POWLUS ..............DO ?
He carries Swarbrick’s coffee cup. Do you think Swarbrick wants his assistant to be smarter than he is? Good bye Jack!
Lol too funny Powlus lol
Pete, you’re going to love Orlando at Christmas time…again.
Parker never should have been promoted to OC clearly. It is very painful to watch our passing game especially because we have zero deep threats as we have been seen week after week. With 3 losses now I would start Angeli for the two remaining games to determine if we need to grab one from the portal. Painful to watch!!
I hope he hires Jamarcus Sheppard!
I was at the game. This wasn’t 15 guys open on different routes. This is two misses and yes they are critical misses but the rest of the day it was hitch route city and Clemson jumped these throws all day.
Drum it into Hartman’s head that his job is to hit the open receiver whoever it is, whether he thinks the guy will catch it or not. If the receiver drops it that’s the receiver’s problem.
Dabo looked animated, Freeman looked kinda Ho Hum
A real lack of urgency and emotion at that game
Unimaginative offensive scheme vs. tough, tough defense plus 10 turnover points = loss every time
This all starts at the top take that how ever you want. BKs last 50 games we went 44-6
MF is now 16-8 in 24 games.
Y’all saying anything to protect Hartman 😂😂😂
I look at all the comments on here but nobody is getting to the real problem. The problem is the inability of the wide receivers to create separation in the secondary. THEY CAN't GET OPEN!. Notre Dame needs to recruit NFL caliber wide receivers who have the ability to create separation in the secondary.
Time for stuck to go elsewhere
I feel like ND saw Clemson's injury report and lost their edge (Over confidence?) coming into the game.
Also, pair poor receiver play with TERRIBLE PASS PRO. Blake Fisher has been abysmal. Need some dogs on that line and we don’t have them.
Good show guys I grew up in south bend it’s like history keeps repeating itself.
That’s what happens when Fans think ND is elite 🤔🤔🤔We are playing with a new QB , freshman WR, freshman players and a OC that was not the choice. I don’t understand ND fan base 😡
If they replace Parker, it should be because he resigned (of his on free will) as OC and went back to TE's. If he does not do that, they need to just show him the door. He isn't self aware enough to stay if he does not resign.
If ND does not replace Parker, Freeman's job is on the line for 24. No one wants that, but it's reality
No it’s not. Freeman has a blank check. You fire him and he goes to Ohio state or some other big program and dominates he can recruit with the best of them it will set ND back years
Clemson fan here y’all sound just like us bad Wr play/ coaching issues same things we complain about about lol
Please take Stuck. Pkease
Lou H would have scored points with these players.
Pete I disagree with what you said about Angeli. I think he needs to at a minimum get a few series when it matters to see what he can do. He should get worked in in the first and second quarters.
This game shows the defense is much improved but the offense needs a new wide receiver coach and offensive coordinator and a new special team coach. Notre Dame should bring in Paul Chryst or Kliff Kingsbury OC and Emmet Jones as WR coach. Levar woods as special teams coach would mesh well with Freeman being an ex LB. Marcus Freeman needs an ex head coach for the offense and Defense so Freeman can focus on player development and building a national championship team. I believe Freeman has a better shot than Kelly but needs to adjust his staff in the offseason.
If Golden leaves for a head coach job
Freeman should look at
Jim Leonhard
Will Muschamp
Mike Tressel
For DC.
Nd was never going to the play offs. They need to join a conference
Well, Im seeing what ND is and it's not good.
What I can't figure out is why ND fans don't question the Hartman decision more? He hasn't brought it in big games. ND could have gotten the same wins with Buchner. Maybe this is just a little karma coming back round onto Marcus for grabbing for the brass ring that never existed. Hartman had a propensity to throw picks but everyone glossed that over
ND hasn’t won a national title since the Reagan administration. So none of this should be a shocker.
Before '21, UGA went 8 years longer than Notre Dame.
1993 was really NDs last natty.
The sport is and always has been cyclical. Either you are young and ignorant to that fact, or you just chose to be ignorant of that fact to come here as a troll and hate on ND.
@@zanymonster Now I feel better since ND’s program is very similar to Georgia’s. Both programs clearly headed in the same direction.
@@mglaid1989I see, your just a dejected fan. I guess your pessimism made it look like something else.
