I guess those uncanny calls didn't work for Notre Dame at least this
year. When the Irish were 1-7, they were ranked 119th in rushing
offense, 112th in passing, and 118th in scoring out of the 119 teams in
Division 1-A. Yup signs of an excellent offensive coordinator

actually, living proof that college football and the coaching thereof, is
completely different from pro football. Charlie is teaching kids now, not
working with experienced professionals. His team now has 60 guys who have
to go to school, and Notre Dame actually makes them take real
courses(compared to most). His Pats teams could devote 60 hours a week to
game planning, if need be.

Yes, I understand that Tom, the transition from Pros to College is quite
different and there has only been a handful of successful coaches, Pete
Carroll comes to mind.
It's easy for me to get caught up in a discussion on sports, as in my
younger days I was a sports enthusiast, reciting box scores in my sleep.
Just need to take a step back and take a deep breath, it's really not worth
me arguing about it as this is still fly-fishing forum (I think).
Since then, I only watch sports as a form of entertainment and can care-less
who wins or who loses, but somehow I still enjoy the upset. My hats off to
the New England Patriots if they can go undefeated this year, as records are
made to be broken. And once again, the forgotten 1972 Miami Dolphins
resurface this late in the season.
