I think it's a helluva gamble, honestly. ND doesn't seem like a head coach training ground to me.

HCSF wasn’t proven or seasoned but he became head football coach at Nebraska.Kelly left because LSU will do anything to win and the talent is fertile as hell down there and did Fickell really turn them down? Yes, there are challenges at ND, but it is still a very prestigious school and I doubt there are 10 better jobs. There is money there galore and ND still has a ton of advantages. Freeman may be a good recruiter but that's only part of the puzzle. There's a lot that goes into being a head coach and he isn't proven. I stick with my point of ND could probably go get pretty much anyone they wanted and definitely a more seasoned hire.
Yes I know there are a bunch of bigoted ***** on here. Thing is don't make it too obvious that you are a bigot.
I mean you could have listed Ryan Day, Lincoln Riley, Dabo Swinney, TOM OSBORNE or the numerous other WHITE assistant coaches who became head coach of their teams. Yet the bigots single out the black ones.
Then you say Notre Dame should be PISSED! You are assuming Notre Dame fans are as RACIST as Nebraska fans and that's rather presumptuous of you......
They were staring at the same economics that we were and decided that Fickell and his buyout was too big of a gamble. Why would you give 4+ million per year guaranteed for 5-7 years and pay his 4 million+ buyout for a guy who 6-7 after taking over Tressel's team at OSU. They were LOADED. Kelly was at 2.5 million and they were looking at trying to find another MAC, AAC or MW head coach to fill their job more than likely. Frankly DeBoer might have been a good choice for them but he got offered more to coach the Huskies than Kelly was getting paid by ND. I think Notre Dame understands that not every school can buy their way in to the playoff.He's an outstanding DC. We have no idea if it's a "great hire" as a HC.

You better look again at his resume. He was a little thin on his time as a head coach, but his resume is outstanding.HCSF wasn’t proven or seasoned but he became head football coach at Nebraska.
There was an interesting thread on coaching hires in the big ten actually. It was on the Purdue paid board and looking solely at big ten. But you have a higher chance of hitting on a coordinator from the p5 level vs a head coach from g5 level and if the hire played LB or QB. It was an interesting discussion.He's an outstanding DC. We have no idea if it's a "great hire" as a HC.

Look at where we are at. Frost also wasn't the choice I would have gone with. I also hate that NU constantly has to only pursue people who have a tie to NU in some way. It should be the best person for the job and in fact I think we should get away from that. People act like you have to be from NU to know the pressure when in fact their is a lot of pressure at most major football programs. Fan bases are passionate and the money backing donors want results. NU isn't different and needs to quit acting like it is.HCSF wasn’t proven or seasoned but he became head football coach at Nebraska.
Did he SAY THAT??I'm sure he has his own mouth right?? This is the problem when bigots defend other bigots. Why do people like to try to get in the minds of people who can speak for themselves and justify foolery??I think his comparison has more to do with they were both defensive guys promoted to H.C. and one already failed...the guys you mentioned were all offensive guys and have succeeded, he is projecting Freeman to fail so why would he compare Freeman to guys who didn't fail? That would be silly. You are literally trying to hard to inject race into this and look silly doing so. We have a word for people focused only on one's skin color like yourself.

I know can I explain myself pretty well and never leave any doubt about why I said something. I don't need another man jacking my dick, like you dudes do each other daily on here, when I can jack it myself! You literally fell out your chair to jack his dick even tho he didn't ask you too!
He doesn't give a damn if he a DC or OC and probably didn't even know that til you mentioned it.
You remind of these fruitcakes in the media who constantly have to explain what dumbass Biden meant! Every RACIST thing he said about blacks was EXPLAINED by people just like YOU on CNN and MSNBC for years! FUK OUTTA HERE!
Kelly is an asshole.I find it interesting that Kelly can’t lure any of his assistants to come with him to Lsu
The point is that Notre Dame itself is only directly paying Kelly $2.5 million per year. ND has let Kelly receive part of their Under Armour contract and money from other media sources.That's a good point. However, Kelly's total annual compensation at ND was way over 2.5 million.
That's the number for public consumption but there is little doubt that LSU is paying him a lot more or were willing to guarantee more or Kelly wouldn't have left. Coach's public salaries are never the complete package.LOL at anyone thinking ND was paying BK $2.5MM.....
Oh I wonder what him and Jimmy Lake have in COMMON. Hmmm...oh maybe they have the same skin color right bigot??
I mean you could have listed Ryan Day, Lincoln Riley, Dabo Swinney, TOM OSBORNE or the numerous other WHITE assistant coaches who became head coach of their teams. Yet the bigots single out the black ones.
Yea right....we know what you meant! Your explanation didn't even make any sense because Lake didn't have big shoes to fill as Meyers and Stole were bigger shoes and Swinney didn't have any shoes to fill at all as his predecessor was fired mid season.if the first thing that pops into your mind is skin color, you need to ask yourself if you're the racist.
Day, Riley, Swinney and Osbourne aren't young DC's that took over for teams that were on the periphery of playoff success with a near-legendary head coach. Lake was given a pair of shoes that were too big to fill, whereas all the guys you listed had heisman winners and national championship appearances, so my insinuation is that he's not going to pan out.
its almost a little impressive how poorly you interpreted what was said.
you being too dumb to understand what was meant isn't my problem.Yea right....we know what you meant! Your explanation didn't even make any sense because Lake didn't have big shoes to fill as Meyers and Stole were bigger shoes and Swinney didn't have any shoes to fill at all as his predecessor was fired mid season.
Come again..
There have ONLY been 2 coaches (Day, Riley) who have took her their OWN team and mad the playoffs in the last 5 years so that's not a real good sample size is it?you being too dumb to understand what was meant isn't my problem.
each coach you listed filled the shoes just fine, were maybe even too big for the shoes.
can you tell me of another Defensive Coordinator that took over a team that had made it to the CFB playoff in the last 5 years?
Notre Dame is cheap, they paid Kelly a $2.5 million salary but allowed Kelly to receive compensation from other sources like shoe companies. So Kelly got a cut of Notre Dames deal with Under Armour. Interesting strategy.
Notre Dame thinks they will win just because they are Notre Dame, they won't have to pay Freeman as much as this is his first HC job. Not sure if Morgan gets a cut of the new shoe contract in two years or if it's just Marcus.
Fickel did not turn ND down. ND is his drea job he would take it in a heart beat. He doesn't want to be a sleez ball like kelly and Riley he wants to wait till his team is done with playoff (which is the right thing to do) ND doesn't wants to sign someone now before the signing day. So this is the best option under given situation.If they can get who they want? Why did Kelly leave and why did fickell turn them down? There are at least 10 better jobs than ND based of amenities and pay. If Purdue and Nebraska were willing to pay 8 mil for a coach, which Purdue might need to to keep Brohm long term, and have invest the money to compete recruiting wise, they'd be just as good of jobs. The advantages ND had 30 years ago aren't advantages today. Please note I am not saying Purdue is as good of a job as ND. It's a long ways from it. If they win 8-9 next year and continue to invest, maybe get the 100 mil stadium project going, it would be able to compete with ND on high level recruits.
Freeman will up recruiting significantly for ND though.
This is not true.. Kelly was making closes to 7 mil / year.. ND compensates the coach differently listed salary is only part of the package..Notre Dame was paying Kelly 2.5 million. Fickell is making 3.4 million at Cinci with a whole bunch less pressure....
Really? He has won at least 11 games 3 out of the last 4 years @ cincinnati... Looks like he catches lightning in the bottle on annual basis.IMO Fickell is VASTLY over rated. He caught lightening in a bottle this year. I doubt he'll ever do it again.
How about Kirb smart @ georgiaI think his comparison has more to do with they were both defensive guys promoted to H.C. and one already failed...the guys you mentioned were all offensive guys and have succeeded, he is projecting Freeman to fail so why would he compare Freeman to guys who didn't fail? That would be silly. You are literally trying to hard to inject race into this and look silly doing so. We have a word for people focused only on one's skin color like yourself.
Sometimes people turn down their dream jobs because they are in good situations. See Jeff Brohm for detailsFickel did not turn ND down. ND is his drea job he would take it in a heart beat. He doesn't want to be a sleez ball like kelly and Riley he wants to wait till his team is done with playoff (which is the right thing to do) ND doesn't wants to sign someone now before the signing day. So this is the best option under given situation.
Anybody listing Kelly's total salary at Notre Dame is guessing. His listed salary was just north of 2.5 million but he's allowed to take compensation from outside sources with approval from his bosses. Kelly reportedly with outside income will be making over 15 million per year at LSU.This is not true.. Kelly was making closes to 7 mil / year.. ND compensates the coach differently listed salary is only part of the package..
lol, at this point I can't tell if you're just a mental midget or enjoy making conflict out of nothing. let me literally draw a picture for you.There have ONLY been 2 coaches (Day, Riley) who have took her their OWN team and mad the playoffs in the last 5 years so that's not a real good sample size is it?
