The 2022-23 season will be Mike Brey's last at Notre Dame. Maybe it was his $2.8 million buyout. Looking back at Coach Brey's tenure, what player or players do you think he did his best job coaching with? Most of it was wrong. Ed,Greensboro: Tom, same old story last night in Raleigh.How much damage is this season's death march doing to the program? Tom Noie: Joe: Yes, particularly the associate head coach, who was really good last season, but seems to have fallen in line with Mike Brey this season in just deciding to ride it out. Don't think he's going to do that anytime soon - OK, never - but I'll play along. When it goes as sideways as this has gone, everybody's looking with the side eye at something that could be better for them. I know he's Spo's top assistant and likely wants to stay in NBA but think he could be convinced to come back? I said Wesley because you can't teach his athleticism and instinct for the game on O or D.But, I also said Paul A. was a close 2nd because his post play created space for the jump shooters. EM, South Bend: Endorsing comment by Joe from South Side! Soon, Swarbrick (trending Friday morning on Twitter) will turn attention to the hiring of a mens basketball coach. They believe what they want to believe and nothing - and nobody - is going to convince them any differently. And then there's the overall structure of the roster. Matt Painter would be nervous if Ray were his boss. Tom Noie: Ray: Still silly, and still wondering if you're at the bar at 9:36 a.m. California time. As mentioned earlier, Jack Swarbrick, should he choose to speak with the media, would hit all the high points on what he wants from the next men's basketball coach, but does he? New Orleans selects Notre Dame EDGE Isaiah Foskey 40th overall, 23 sacks since 2021 (only Will Anderson Jr has more) pic.twitter.com/3OcuTFw8Bk, PFF College (@PFF_College) April 28, 2023. I get that the losing the last few years is going to drive fans away (I was looking for Wake Forest tickets and its incredible that the cheapest ticket is $35), but what do you think the new coach has to do to re-energize the fan base? I know what to do. Now? There also will be a moment for Swarbrick to again shoot his hiring shot. He chose to stay in the NBA, where he believes he has a future as a head coach. Why not play Lubin and Starling and heck, Dom Campbell and Tony Sanders and Matt Zona more moving forward? Thanks Tom and hang in there! Swarbrick: Desire to Hold on to Jarrett 'Couldn't Be Stronger' Tom Noie: Don't agree. Notre Dame won seven games away from home last year, and was 6-4 on the road in league play. Who is that? I need a sarcasm font. [8] Young, energetic, and a catholic school product who learned from Skip Prosser. A lot of critics seem to forget these players have to not only want to over-winter in South Bend, but get into Notre Dame first, and then do enough to stay in Notre Dame. Chris, DC: Tom,Do you think ND can keep Starling, Lubin and Campbell? No, for the most part, the players and the coaches get it. According to Swarbrick, all fiction. tsmithfield to Incognito on. And certainly strong ties to South Bend. From the outside, I see 3 big ones. Tom Noie: Matt: Late March at the earliest if everything falls into place. Tom Noie: It's also been a long, slow, frustrating build for Jeff Capel, who was said to be on really think ice before this season, his fifth. Of the three - Markus Burton and Parker Friedrichsen - Dunlap might've been most ready to play given his size (6-foot-7). Tom Noie: Please, only in your dream. Notre Dame Basketball does not equal Notre Dame football. Two? Tom Noie: Terry: Let me turn the question on you. Open mike 02/05/2023. Maybe Monty Williams or Chris Quinn or Sean Sweeney, the three possible candidates with NBA ties are looking for a career change, but that's a big jump. Do they meet the next coach and think immediately, yeah, I can play for this guy. Consensus three-star safety Kennedy Urlacher (Kennedy High School; Az.) Speaks to the "road dawg" mentality of good Irish teams of seasons past. But I think the one thing last thing that hasn't been tried is starting Lubin and giving him more minutes. Not exactly the way to build interest/equity with your fan base, is it? Dan - Chicago: Is Markus Burton the starting pg next year? Guest: Do you think it might be time to give VanLuben more court time? It might not get that drastic for Notre Dame, but the new coach isn't exactly walking into a situation where he has a roster ready-made to even compete, let alone win. A lot of that came from Mike Brey, like this is what we signed up for. Notre Dame football botches offensive coordinator hire Why, then, did Dane Goodwin and Nate Laszewski and Cormac Ryan decide to come back if they knew the pieces wouldn't fit or that they were a player or two short? Nobody is expecting final fours. Like Coach isn't doing this or doing that, let's just do it ourselves. And who's the quarterback? Here's the breakdown - with everyone who COULD return regardless of how remote the chances plus the three incoming recruits, Notre Dame was at 10 players for 2023-24. No athleticism. He was soooooo anxious to go and start his clock that he missed out on a potential gold-mine of an opportunity at Notre Dame. Fans today are different. Notre Dame men's basketball is about players/prospects choosing Notre Dame for more than just basketball. Doing alright at Utah State, a sneaky very good mid major program. Contrary to the narrative the SEC put out about being completely and universally blindsided by the Big Tens initial decision to play only conference games, Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez had already reached out to Swarbrick, as had their counterparts at USC and Stanford in anticipation of the Pac-12 quickly making the same decision. It's Notre Dame football. Tom Noie: At some point, it becomes about the care factor. Let that group get loose. The answer seems evident. Matt from St. Louis: Think any of the current super seniors continue to play after this year? Notre Dame football will again look and run and feel like Notre Dame football. That initiative became reality with the 2014 announcement of the Campus Crossroads Project that added new structures to three sides of Notre Dames home football facilitycreating new homes for student activities and recreation, career services, digital media, as well as academic disciplines anthropology, psychology, music and sacred music. Everyone, and I agree, says he would be great on TV. Then he returns. He says he wants to coach, but I don't see it. As mentioned earlier, Jack Swarbrick, should he choose to speak with the media, would hit all the high points on what he wants from the next men's basketball coach, but does he? Nope. Pat H. Springfield Illinois: Forgot to ask my question: When can we expect Mike Bret to be inducted into the Ring of Honor? Does Mick Cronin? The portal the way it's currently constructed works against Notre Dame. Especially when someone (even the athletic director) says its not about money. There seemed no plan the last couple of years, just kind of roll the ball out. Jarrett Pattersons career at Notre Dame: 1,688 Pass Block Snaps ZERO Sacks Allowed pic.twitter.com/7jIPQr4Gbs, PFF College (@PFF_College) January 17, 2023. Notre Dame? I'd like to say Jerian Grant simply because of some ups and downs with Jerian and where those highs ended up. If everything in that story is true then I guess that answers the question why there are no fans at the games. The transfer portal will be curtailed by university brass. Notre Dame will be playing at Dudy Noble Field in Starkville, Miss. joe from the south side: Tom,I think Parker F. walks as well. I'd say keep the faith with the hope that it gets better, but I'm not sure it will. Hubb at least took care of the ball but why did Brey think Wertz could run this offense when he's arguably the worst of the 7 guys? John Brian Swarbrick, Jr..[1] is the director of athletics at the University of Notre Dame. Swarbrick, on Tuesday, said he was "not surprised" by Kelly's decision to depart Notre Dame after 12 seasons as coach. [2][3] His appointment was announced in July 2008, replacing Kevin White, who resigned in June 2008 to take the same position at Duke University. In three years, head coach Link Jarrett took the program back to the College World Series for the first time in 20 while injecting national championship DNA into every (hot) corner before heading home to Florida State. Is he just out of the question bc of a couple bad years? Did Notre Dame not go 24-11 and win a school record 15 Atlantic Coast Conference games? With Ludwig staying where he is, Irish fans were infuriated, . Now you see that 1st hand. I'd be shocked in 23-24 if they are as bad as this seasons team. Lubin played more Tuesday and was really good. That's media relations 101. The Notre Dame women's program is one of the sport's bluebloods - Connecticut, Tennessee, Stanford, etc. Can this program sidestep them? At worst, a certain four-letter word with show tacked to the end would suffice. Lengthen the rotation? When you have an opportunity to make an impact and make a competitive leap, youre always inclined to try to do that. This is going to be a loooooooooong haul. He'd be perfect for the job, given nothing else than his life experiences. Not only because hes skilled in communicating, but he has a great directness about him. He also did it with little backing from the administration in terms of arena renovation and practice facility. You make close to $4 million a year. Notre Dame talks so much about being elite, but it's really not, not the way it could and should and has to be in men's basketball. It. 45 years old. They both appear to be active inside when given a few minutes.
