I seriously doubt this happens but say you go 8-4....maybe even 7-5....fire him?
I specifically said I was ruling that out. I’m talking about the way the fanbase sees him. There’s a faction that didn’t want him because he lacked head coaching experience. It’s taken 2 games and you can already see them on social media. There’s not a lot of them but if he wins less than 9 he will hear it.

Expecting him to win on the road against OSU Is more than a little optimistic.

OSU missed big not working him up through their coaching ranks

It’s almost like he was a victim of his own small success. The defense was lights out. They kept them in the game. They came to battle with a QB who was a deer in headlights or at least protected as such with play calling. If the offense was even halfway productive, they have a real shot at that game. Haven’t seen the metrics but 2H time of possession felt really lopsided. The offense’s inability to move sticks and put up points gave them little chance and the defense wore down.

Stroud didn't play as well as I thought a leading Heisman candidate would.....
70% passing, 2 TD's, no turnovers. Only 223 yards though.

Most teams would give their left nut for that kind of production against the #5 team in the country.

Daniels has completed 17 passes for a whopping 85 yards. To his credit he has 76 yards on 12 carries, but their other rushers have 27 yards on 10 carries. Not good.

It's not like FSU had a good defense last year either.

Bwa ha ha ha! I told you. The Nore dame chumps can't even beat a division two team at home. Marshall is dominating them.

It’s easier to overcome a competitive loss on the road vs #2 in week 1 than at another point in the season. If ND beats Clemson and USC they’re a playoff team. If Pyne is the better QB ND is in trouble because he’s limited ability wise.
drew pyne looking any better yet?

Haha! He looked worse. How retarded are you? ND doesn’t have a competent QB on their roster apparently. Additionally, the over hyped OL coach’s OL looks horrible. They got pushed around by Marshall. The Irish have a ton of problems

who cares about that....all that matters is they are diminishing OSU's win.

Bastages.

pyne just has better pocket skills.

ND was left holding their dick when BK left.....and thought it would be good to hire a rookie.

What could go wrong? 0-2 to start the season.

Neither kid is a D1 QB right now. You’re attempting to argue that being shot in the stomach is better than being shot in the head. Ok. Neither is a good outcome.

Yeah you already said all of this. Have anything new to prop up the 5’11’’ QB with a pop gun arm and a 5.3 40 yard dash?
