Notre Dame Glory Days Over ?

since NBC gave them that crazy tv contract, they haven't done shit. No school should have it's own contract like that anyway. The so called "glory days" are over, however Weiss recruited good talent to South Bend, he just couldn't coach worth a shit. I think they could return to 8 and 9 wins a season, just not as consistent as they used to be

 

As for the tv deal with NBC it is no longer relevant. Everyone in the top 25 has virtually every game televised. Weiss has recruited some good offensive talent but not on defense. I heard a report recently but I have not confirmed it that Notre Dame has not had a defensive player make an NFL roster is something like 5 years. That says a lot if it's true. I do agree that the Irish could be a top 25 team again but not a consistent contender for a championship unless they get an elite coach like Urban Meyer and drop their academic standards a bit.

 

That's blatantly false, where did you hear this report?

ND could easily be a top 5 program. They have the money, the support and the tradition. They just need a better coach. Get old boy from TCU or BSU, someone who has shown they can get it done.

 

USA Today

 

any chance of you finding a link, or did you just make it up?

 

We've already faced two of them on one team.

I'd have a hard time believing anyone at USA today could forget Justin Tuck.

 

Have you ever considered that Wise One is just a moron who is making shit up to cover his tracks?

 

I think joining a conference would be a good step for Notre Dame. It would help the Big Ten also.
