You mean...like....Alabama??!



Despite their recent run of success, the SEC was "whatever" this year. Nobody was snubbed, and nobody was a threat to win it all.

I agree, mainly for the way the playoff system is setup. Personally, I don’t think it’s set up for the absolute best/toughest teams to get in, but I do believe that the teams with the best records, will get in. So that means, if a team is a beneficiary of playing in a weaker conference, runs through that conference, then they get ushered to the front of the line. A part of me likes it bc I’ve always wanted to see how some teams would fair against certain competition. And I’m not saying that the SEC is the end all be all, bc I do believe that the likes of Ohio State and ND (examples) can always pose a tough test. I just don’t feel that there are many good conferences like the SEC. Those boys play a tough schedule
 
Idk how his coaching would translate to the NFL but I’m a big Freeman fan, hope they pull off the upset of the ages Monday. No offense, Pocket. lol

None taken. It’s always Ohio vs. The World, I am used to it. ;)

I don't think a ND win would be an upset for the ages by any means, though...

I think y’all are the most expensive team this season, and have been dominant since the Michigan loss. My lifelong best friend lives right by the stadium and is the most die hard Buckeye fan I’ve ever seen, so I keep up lol. I think it would be a huge upset.
 
ND gonna give him a pay raise after the natty.
They gonna keep him till 2029.

A ND win wouldn’t be an upset for the ages in the same way a NY/LA team can never play the underdog role.

Yeah, I’d have to say if that were to happen I would still like the Saints to have a conversation with Freeman.

Once again, I know about the failures of guys like Saban and Urban Meyer. I know the challenges Freeman could potentially have assembling a NFL staff but if ND can pull off the upset I think it’d be safe to say that the man at the very least can coach these college athletes (some who are now millionaires at least).

And for those that say we need a young offensive minded coach with an athletic QB that can run and pass keep in mind the NFL is cyclical. Some young defensive coach will build a roster to shut down the Mahomes, Daniels, Allens, It just hasn’t happened yet because a team would have to truly commit all its capital to defense and running the ball. The 49ers were close but imho were only a couple of really good secondary players away from winning that SB against the Chiefs.

Sean Peyton used to talk about how Parcels would talk about building a team that changed the way the rest of the division defends or attacks you. The concept is still the same it’s just we are in this crazy shift away from “defense wins championships” because of the ridiculous rules that the NFL has installed thats made it difficult (not impossible) to stop teams from scoring.

lol, I literally laughed out loud but you know that you are 1000% accurate.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Is it true that Brian Kelly actually stated that Marcus Freeman would never win a national championship at ND?

I think he was talking about the challenge of winning at ND, talent and academic standards.

The NFL game in my opinion is actually closer to the college game now than when Arizona hired Kingsburry and especially since the Urban Meyer and Saban experiments.

I think what many are forgetting is that there’s now money in college football and the transfer portal. Not NFL money but today’s college coaches are getting a taste of what NFL coaches have to deal with. I’ve always thought that the toughest transition at least now for a college coach to coach in the NFL is the difficulty in building a complete NFL caliber coaching staff. It’s not as easy as just bringing all your position coaches and coordinators with you. In addition the limited roster size, all college coaches are blessed with having a roster that is easily 2-3 deep at each position on game day especially in the power conferences.

I’m sure Saban has at some point discussed the challenges of going from college to NFL coaching but if my memory serves correctly his biggest issue with the Dolphins was getting the egos of multi millionaires to buy into his system even though he comes from the Belecheat tree lol. Like I said though in my opinion I think that college coaches now, including Freeman and yes Deion Sanders are more equipped especially as former players at coaching and managing those egos.

Oh ok, that makes sense. I guess that would make it that much more intriguing to me if ND were to upset Ohio State. You’d have to say that it would either have been an excellent coaching display or luck or a combination of both 😂
