I don't think anyone on this bored wants to see Meyer at Catholic U.creepycoug said:
Yes. Meyer is a money coach. I cannot recall a single coach other than Meyer and Saban who has done it at even two. The vast majority of even really good coaches either fail at their next gig, or they make a respectable showing but never quite reach the heights of their previous gig. Think Spurrier and Holtz, each at South Carolina. Butch Davis at North Carolina. Saban and Meyer are far and away the exception to the rule.Gladstone said:Meyer has done it at two schools (UF and OSU), notwithstanding his undefeated run in year 2 at Utah. I wonder where in the pantheon of white FS coaches he'd rank if he got another tier 1 school a national championship. He famously called ND his dream job, if he went there and resurrected them into a 'ship would he rank in the top 3 all-time? How many coaches have won titles at three separate power five schools? None?
If Meyer ever made himself available again, he could break the bank. The guy just wins wherever he goes. I hope and pray he never coaches at Notre Dame. If he does, it will mean that he negotiated the serious academis requirement to his suiting. You can't make everyone take calculus and have a good football team. Even Stanford doesn't do that. -
Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer both got it.
In America - not to get too weird - there is a "seemingly" massive distinction between being poor white trash and a "ghetto" black kid.
The truth is, fast strategy people have a lot of the same priorities and ideas - even though in the US we don't share the same culture across 'race' lines.
However, the smart coaches that saw beyond that shit were like, 'wait, I completely relate to these kids'. If you watch Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer at their height it was the same thing.
They instinctively knew the shit that would hit home, once they translated it from one cultural context to another.
That's the reason Dabo hits. Because he has that instinct. He knows. He's a FS fucker and he gets the core aspects to those kids.
Tom Osborne, Pete, DJ, etc - they have a hard time, so it's easy for them to get a bunch of criminals, because to them, all FS kids seem the same. 'I don't know, I guess they all are drug dealing gun-runners. Fine, I want to win. Beating women is a cultural difference, I guess!'
But, Coaches like Johnson really got it. 'We are the underdogs that NOGAF about. No one did our homework for us or petitioned our fucking teachers when we got an 88.5 so we could stretch that to an A' - that's all white people shit.
They get that.
If Pete could grasp that, we would be the best program in the history of the Pac-12.
The only other choice is to be so fucking competitive you don't GAF (Saban) about anything other than winning, or just a good coach at USC which is the easiest job in the history of college football (Carroll). -
All true. What Jimmy realized is exactly the way you said it: poor white trash in bumblefuck texas involves some degree of alienation from the power structure. Also, even if there are differences between that and the experience of blick inner city youth, and there no doubt is, when you are on the same side of the tracks opposite an arrogant and smug elitist like Tad Foote, who has no use for either of you, you fucking bond. That is why the players loved him so much. He didn't try to be one of them ... he had the hair spray and all that shit ... they knew he wasn't ghetto, but they knew and believed that he identified with them to one degree or another, and for a poor black kid in Coral Cables in the 1980s, that was more than enough.Dennis_DeYoung said:Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer both got it.

Also, Jimmy was a fucking competitive maniac, and they liked that about him too. He legitimately hated Notre Dame and Lou Holtz for the same reasons: it's the man and I like to win, especially against the man. He recalled to his team how offended America and Brent Musberger were at the '85 blood letting, but also reminded them that ND's record book is full of more lopsided wins against helpless opponents and their hypocrisy knows no bounds. The last thing he told them before leaving Miami, which he reports to this day as the hardest thing he ever did, was to kick ND's ass to avenge the bullshit '88 game. And he meant it.

No. He is the opposite of bumbling. I thought he was going to bust a valve at Cincy. Dood is fucking intense.Gladstone said:
Brian Kelly is a shit coach and many other things, but I've never seen him described as a bumbling 'aww shucks' guy. In fact I think that's the polar opposite of what he is.backthepack said:
Notre Dame is fucked because they have a bumbling mid-west aww shucks guy in charge.YellowSnow said:So here's a question @RaceBannon , the Mount Rushmore of Progroms as per DFI is Alabama, Ohio State, USC and Notre Dame, correct?. When does Notre Dame get removed? In era this where it's pretty damn near impossible to win a natty without enough Fast Strategy players is Notre Dame pretty much dead? I know they've had guys like the Bus who were Fast Strategy in days of yore and I'll admit I don't pay attention to their recruiting other than to say they aren't winning.

I've actually been somewhat surprised that he his stint at ND hasn't gone a little better than it has. I suppose they had the 2013 BCS, and there's no shame in losing to Bamers, but still. ND has a lot of built-in advantages for the right coach to exploit.
Excellent points. Lou Holtz got ND to agree to the Prop 48 which directly lead to players like Zorich and Tony Rice (indirectly leading to the MNC). Players who never in a million years would have qualified for ND football scholarship admissions. ND famously dropped their support for Prop 48 and forced Lou out in the 90s (Lou himself says BC '93 broke his heart so much that it took him years to recover).creepycoug said:

Like any other tier 1 school, ND is always a coach away. There were tons of narratives in the mid 2000s that population shifts in the midwest had made Big Ten prestige untenable. Enter Urban at OSU. Oops. I also am surprised Kelly hasn't had much success:
8-5
8-5
12-1
9-4
8-5
10-3
4-8
10-3
3 ten win seasons in 8 years. 5-3 against SC. 2-1 against scUM. You can argue at least one of the 10-3 seasons as disappointing considering they started hot, flew into the top 5, and then got blown out late in the year. -

Da GOAT and I don't care if Saban wins 9 more.
It's HAF to win nattys at 2 diff schools like those 2 have.
But to do it at 3 different schools???? -

You guys could certainly win a Natty at some time. But you don't have the infrastructure nor the sizzle to make a 2000's SC run. Not without Pilfering the likes of a Meyer or Saban anyway. -

Southern poor whites and blacks are both country like Jimmy and Barry were. It works

I disagree. I'm not even being a Doog. If we continue on this recruiting trajectory upward and it snowballs like Clemson's has, we will be really hard to beat.salemcoog said:

Pete is a master at making teams difficult to beat. And that's with b-rate talent. If somehow we get talent throughout our whole roster we are going to be a bitch to deal with.
But, I'm not sure Pete has it in him.
