Yep

i suspect the academic standards are a wee bit more relaxed….

It's cute that people think the academic standards at good schools aren't WAY more relaxed for athletes. There's a reason why those wealthy people were paying bag men to pay off non-revenue sports coaches to get their kids into good schools.

They at least make the pretense ….I would not think USC is a paragon of intellectualism either.  I spend a lot of time out there. It shows how stupid the parents are. Cal Berkeley or Stanford for prestige. Not USC

Who saw that coming?

Kelly had one of the fat cat jobs in the country. I know recruiting is more difficult at  ND vs  LSU.   Schedule  will probably be harder at LSU.  They'll play Alabama every year, but  Sabin will retire one day lol .  

I didn't think he'd leave ND .. 

I wonder if this will possibly have a baring Notre Dame entering the ACC as a full conference member.  ( or the Big 10 etc )

Ya… shouldn’t the NCAA put a anti-poaching action in place while the season is ongoing?

Nah. They basically got their nuts snipped in recent events. College football runs itself.

It really is. With the insane contracts being given out left and right in college, the NFL is about to turn into a farm league for P5 college coaches.

The NFL isn't gonna be happy about this but NFL coaching salaries are going to have to adjust accordingly. Rhule's contract isn't gonna look like poo in 3 years, I suspect.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
