bartshan-83 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Loved the guy too....but he will NEVER take ND to the next level. Scrap the whole f*ckin staff IMO Butch Davis or Urban Meyer maybe...my $$ is on Meyer. Usher in the next dominant era of ND football....return to glory.

zow2 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Goodbye Tyrone Hello Mr. Urban Meyer. That's an absolute lock that he will be head coach there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be only the second time ND has fired a coach mid-contract. The first was Bob Davie. Not a great string of coaches we have goin here after Lou...kinda like Buffalo QBs after Kelly.

Guest Guest_eyedog_* Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I agree it looks like they are after Meyer and had to cut bait with Ty now. That will then send Davis to the Gators. Good move by ND imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 !@#$ Notre Dame until they join a conference. When they are in a conference it may finally wake the NCAA, dickless wonders that they are, to institute a playoff system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I was really rooting for Ty to bring Notre Dame back into the spot light. A true class act... I wish him nothing but the best. Although Notre Dame hasn't produced a number 1 pick in years, I think they are a talented team. One of Ty's biggest mistakes was sticking with Holiday too long. That guy has the ability but not the brains to be QB. I blame a lot of this season on poor coaching. Some games they played great, others they came out flat. How long until the Notre Dame alumni start screaming about wanting Holtz back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest_eyedog_* Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 If ND wasn't so damn greedy they could join the Big -10, which actually has eleven teams and needs one more, but it's about the $$$$$$$$$ for them. And I thought those Catholic schools were against greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg de'Ville Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Sadly, Notre Dame's time as a college grid power has come and gone, a la Penn State (and now, Nebraska). They can't get the blue-chippers anymore. And not belonging to a football conference does not help, not in this day and age. It's too bad because for one day this fall--against Michigan--they put it together. But they stumbled badly against the likes of BYU and Purdue, and Fredo and company at SC have whipped the Irish like rented mules the last three years and Saturday night's debacle was the straw that broke Ty Willingham's back. That sorry effort showed the difference between a one-quarter team (like ND) and a four-quarter club (like SC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Kinda funny that Jerry Faust and Davie both got 5 years if I remember correctly. ND is acting awfully fast. They must think they have the inside track on Meyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30dive Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 The sad part of this is he inherited crap. He has worked his backside off to bring in his type football player and will never see the fruits of his labor. First time in ND history that thet the school has not let a coaches contract paly out. My bet is Butch Davis is named Wednesday, timing is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_eyedog_* Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 They were turned down ? I don't recall that. Please provide a link or info please. I know the Big East wanted ND, and the ACC was talking to them. ND has their own tv deal with NBC { read: independent, no need to share money with conference schools}. I highly doubt Big-10 will turn ND away if they wanted to join next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
