What have I said to you for months?
00:05
What have I said to you for months about this guy?
00:08
I know he gets credit, he gets them up for big games, he's good at that.
00:11
He is now lost at home, since he's been the head coach, to Marshall, an awful Stanford
00:18
team, and Northern Illinois.
00:20
At home, at Notre Dame Stadium, he's been the coach two years and two weeks, and he's
00:25
lost all three of those teams at home.
00:27
He doesn't get that team ready for the games where they should win by 50.
00:31
He never has them ready for those games, ever.
00:34
They're always a sweat.
00:35
How is that even possible?
00:38
I don't know, but that's what's going to get him chopped after this season.
00:44
That's the problem.
00:45
See, you can have the big win at Texas A&M, but you negate it and then some when you lose
00:51
at home to Northern Illinois.
00:55
And he's out there today at his weekly press conference doing the whole, well, you know,
00:59
we listen to the hype.
01:00
You know, the players listen to the hype.
01:02
Oh yeah, well, it's your job to make sure they don't listen to the hype.
01:06
It's your job to make sure that they treat Northern Illinois the same way that they treated
01:11
Texas A&M the week before that.
01:14
That's why it's going to end poorly for Marcus Freeman and South Bend.
01:17
I actually heard someone on national television say on Sunday when they lost, and this is
01:28
a guy with credibility that's been doing, not only doing college football for 30 years,
01:35
but has been playing college football.
01:37
This guy is a monster.
01:40
And he said, they can only get better from here.
01:44
The Fighting Irish.
01:45
I literally, I literally spit out my drink and I went, getting better.
01:53
I go, wait, so they're going to build off of this and like, get better from it.
01:58
It's going to make them better.
01:59
I actually, I still haven't gotten over hearing it.
02:03
I've had to call a shrink.
02:04
I had to call a shaman.
02:06
I had to, you know, say, light a candle.
02:09
Listen, here's a newsflash for you.
02:11
Where I come from, I don't come from that side of the river that, well, they'll get
02:14
better from here.
02:15
They'll learn from this.
02:16
They'll just adjust.
02:17
I'm not from that side of the river.
02:19
I'm from this side of the river that says, well, if they lost to them, they ain't done
02:23
losing.
02:24
They're not done losing.
02:25
Do you remember when they beat A&M, they literally, the national media said, oh, now they're just
02:31
going to run the tables.
02:32
They're the five seed in the playoff automatic.
02:35
Like are you effing kidding me?
02:38
Now, look, because of this new system, they're not done per se, because now in this new system,
02:46
one loss, even as bad a loss as that one, if you win the rest of your games, you're
02:51
probably still going to get in there.
02:54
What are they?
02:55
I agree with you.
02:56
Oh, I don't think they're going to run the table, but they're going to sell you that
02:58
same thing that it's still all, you know, it's like the Aaron Boone line.
03:02
It's still all right in front of them.
03:04
It's still right in front of them.
03:05
They win all their games.
03:07
They're going to be there.
03:08
What they fall to 15th or 16th in the, uh, in the dopey a people 18th, they fell to,
03:13
but that's still like if they win all their games, it's manageable and everybody will
03:17
forget that they lost in early September, the Northern Illinois, uh, which, but you
03:21
shouldn't because it says something, believe that there's a lot of those games on the schedule.
03:26
So a lot of those games on the schedule this year for Notre Dame, a lot of games like that.
03:31
Here's another one.
03:32
Okay.
03:33
They're playing at the Coliseum against USC to end their season in Los Angeles and you're
03:40
going to lose to them.
03:42
Like is there good enough to beat Notre Dame right now today?
03:45
And they got a quarterback and obviously Notre Dame doesn't.
