Comments on: Jack’s Flexible on 7-4-1 http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2010/01/15/jacks-flexible-on-7-4-1/ The Worst Thing To Ever Happen To ND Football Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:42:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ska http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2010/01/15/jacks-flexible-on-7-4-1/comment-page-1/#comment-154466 Ska Sat, 16 Jan 2010 22:07:23 +0000 http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/?p=4661#comment-154466 The more I think about the rule violations with $C and the Kiffen (kitten) hire makes sense. Why would anyone with any smarts hire a 34 year old coach with baggage and no proof of being able to win? The answer is simple: $C does not expect to be playing major FB for a few years. Let Kitten mature a little bit and the lords at $C think the program will be back after a penalty is finished. SMU is still struggling, because it did not have a plan to come back as a FB power.

I don't think they'll get off, but I dont think they'll get anything like the death penalty. Problem though Ska, is that SMU is SMU and USC is USC.

Less than a month ago I thought the NCAA would do little or nothing to $C. The arrogant stupidity of its AD hiring a rule violator like Kiffin and Carroll's sudden departure makes it look like this may be a severe penalty. If $C gets a death penalty like SMU got in 1987, they will lose at least one season of football. The Kiffin hire has got to have removed any leniency the NCAA could have toward $C. I think most fans are fed up with the $C damn the rules attitude and stonewalling the investigation, and the NCAA is aware of that sentiment. $C fans believe they are a golden goose the NCAA won't touch. They maybe in for a very bitter reality come February 19-21. SMU cooperated with NCAA, $C has done the exact opposite.

I think the author of the piece may have meant contingency to mean a fall back plan, whereas Swarbrick took him to mean contingency in the legal sense of the word--i.e. our offer to you to be the next head coach at ND is contingent upon you retaining CW as OC. Also, what is it about 7-4-1 you don't like? The only problem I have with it is if the the neutral site game is a dud like it was this year playing a terrible Washington St. team in Texas.

It's good to work with other schools that care about academics as well. But per my post, I think each Wake should have an Oklahoma attached. Each Stanford, a Texas.

Duke, Wake, well why not start scheduling the Ivy league schools too. Why do we need Stanford, Duke or Wake and their kind? What about Alabama, Tennessee, Miami? He sounds like he is shying away from the elite programs. By the way Jack, what was so successful about the Washington State game in Texas? Low attendance, low ratings and low national interest!!
