All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I don't think Tom Clements would be a good fit for Notre Dame at this time. I think Tom should stick where he is and develop more of a track record as an offensive coordinator, a position that gains him a lot more responsibility than QB coach, before he takes a mammoth opportunity, but even more mammoth-like pressure at someplace such as Notre Dame being a head coach.
IMO, Notre Dame is really starting to give themselves a black eye. They used to be, and still are in some respects, the premiere college football university, but recent years has their records in mediocrity, their recruiting is down, and other colleges such as Florida, USC, Texas, FSU, Miami, etc. are seen as about the same in terms of prestige, etc. If you were a player or a coach, what would stop you from going to one of those other universities that have lower standards for academics, the same or more money, and the same, or more likely, less pressure? Notre Dame needs to lighten up on the chokehold they have on their coaches that they hire, and understand that if they take a Ty Willingham, Tom Clements, or a Bob Davie, they are taking someone that is not a premiere coach, they are more of 'up and comers' or 'projects' and need more time to make it happen (Davie had time, Willingham had a much shorter leash). If they want to find someone who will win right away, then they need to go out and hire a big gun like Spurrier (although he's gone now) and expect some impact in 2-3 years.
