The Lions' Pride

Good luck to him. Now on to our future recruits.

I wish him well. I'm sure we will do fine in our DB recruiting after all we already have Ross Douglas on board.

At least we didn't lose him to a conference opponent.

JMO...we're all going to need to get used to our HC screaming from the sidelines too.

That sucks but was expected.

Maybe you haven't noticed the schedule we have this year. Navy (in Ireland), Purdue, at Mich St., Michigan, Miami (Soldier Field), Stanford, BYU, at Oklahoma, Pitt, at BC, Wake Forest, at USC. Not quite the cake walk so many people imply. BK working at adding SEC schools to schedule in the near future. Plus, at ND, you get to play all over the place. Playing around the country every year, even other countries. You have all these "experts" saying that ND has easy schedules, then out of the other side of their mouths they say that ND shouldn't have schedules like the one coming up (2012) because it's too tough. Which way is it? Schedules are made so far ahead, you don't know if a school will be good or not 5 years from now. All you can do is schedule.

Maybe you should learn how to read, as I was simply joking. Did you not see the "On a serious note...." in the 2nd sentence???

Oh, I can read. 100% of the time, a degree from ND means you can read. Wish the same could be said for other schools (Dexter Manley). Maybe you were joking, but I hear crap like that all the time. If you were joking, sorry for blowing up at you. Just that we (Irish fans) hear that crap all the time. Good luck this year and beat the piss out of Urban Liar and his mess.

HAHA !

What an absurd statement.

Tony Dungy, Lorenzo Romar. Two of the most respected coaches in their sport, NEVER yell or cuss. Larry Johnson, one of the most respected DL coaches in America. Doesn't yell/cuss at his kids. I've NEVER seen Nick Saban or Les Miles loose their cool on the side line. I have no doubt they give it to their kids, but they know better than to do it in on National TV. If you follow soccer, pay attention to Sir Alex Ferguson. He will NEVER attack one of his own players in public, and almost never says a bad word about them to the press. He keeps it all behind doors. He's considered the best man manager in the biggest sport of the world.

Coaching is about winning the respect of your players, not their fear. There are obviously many ways to win that respect. I don't think Chip Kelly's manner is a very good one, JMO though.
