If you read the article it was largely references comments made by Blue and Gold Illustrated in a podcast. It was more reporting what was said on a Notre Dame stronghold in BGI. Some of the comments echoed the expert some did not. I remarked that no coach plays an “inferior player” just to play them. This is essence supports the coaches decision. I wouldn’t be so quick to blast VanGorder. When was the last time Notre Dame played consistently good defense? Not during Weis or Willingham. Maybe a little during the Davie era and early in Holtz tenure. I thought Diaco had some good defenses particularly in the 12-1 season. I might argue when a defense struggles isn’t just scheme and usually isn’t just players but maybe a combination of both. I’m willing to see how it looks this year. In some games his defenses have been solid. However, they haven’t been consistently so.

This is type of anti Notre Dame trash I expect form the ESPN and Bleacher report losers.

What are you trying to do here? Besides stir up issues for the team.

If you ever played real football or any sport you would know that their are intangibles. If you went by whats on paper you would not need to get on the field and play the games.

The record speaks for itself:

Undefeated except for an out right referee mystery penalty in SemiHole Land
With Schmidt

Lose 4 in a row and give up 31 to 55 points against
teams we should have blown out.
Without Schmidt

An 18 year old comes back from a Devastating injury that would cripple or kill you
and you reward him like this.

The issues lie with and NFL Defensive scheme that resembles the Charlie Worse like NFL offense scheme we used to have and requires 24/7 study to execute.
Not a player who gave his all to make sure everyone around him was lined up right.

I usually do not waste my time on things like this, but your disloyalty and disrespect is appalling.

Publish this if you want. I will not be coming back to this site.
