South Bend is Cedar Rapids without Notre Dame.
After hearing these ridiculous new salary levels for coaches, I got to thinking.
Shouldn't it be 50% head coach, 50% players? As in whatever a head coach is getting in salary, that similar amount is allocated as a percentage to all scholarship athletes.
The Freeman thing is not relevant to ND head job because Freeman would take that over LSU DC. But it might matter if ND gets Fickell or Campbell because Freeman could decide to go to LSU over taking the HC job at Cincy or ISU.
Agree. Was hoping it wouldn't come up because BK felt he might get the head coaching gig and not want to meddle with that.
Yes. They are not doing an interim. They don’t need a search firm. That’s about it.
Yes. They're on Eastern time. That's where all the Swarbrick quotes about possibly not hiring an interim came from.
Why? BK is looking out for himself.
I would be curious if there’s a connection to LSU since he almost took that job at last year.
Not sure how that would work. For one, the hours aren't the same. too, not all players on scholly play where as obviously the head coach as long as he's at that school, is the head coach. So you can have a back up OL who never plays get part of what the head coach makes?IDK....
coaching salaries are insane anymore, that is undeniable and everything else. But no for me on the 50-50
Brian Kelly wants freeman for DC and wants to make him highest paid assistant.
If ND wants Freeman...it puts pressure on them to move soon!
in response to the poll, Charles Huff looks like an interesting name. He’s served under James Franklin, P.J. Fleck, and Nick Saban, with a brief stint as an NFL assistant. He had a good showing in his first season as HC of Marshall. I like the fact that he’d in theory have a functional staff to bring with him a la Campbell.
Correct.
I'd be very surprised if he doesn't take the reigns at WI if/when Chryst goes and he's not waiting for that moment. Dude has it made and seems content.
Side note is I've seen him at Bucky basketball games; sits in normal upper deck seats like an average ticketholder.
I doubt it changes anything for ND.... sure, if they want him - but they already knew that going in. And so does Freeman. If they want him, he knows. If they don't, he already knows. ND already knows he's going to have other opportunities and offers. Like if they hire Fickel Cincinnati would probably try to bring him back.
It kinda matters but at the same point... not entirely. Both ND and Freeman already knew where they stood with each other before this broke

Ive spent a few weeks out there for work and I’m personally not a fan. Campus is super nice but the general area didn’t seem that great.
Freeman is already likely too expensive for JP, and being the highest paid DC isn’t much of an increased barrier. Either he’d be interested in ISU/Cincy, or he wouldn’t. The offer from LSU for what’s not THAT much more from ND isn’t changing that
