bitching and moaning. I generally see optimism due to Freeman's recruiting and embrace of the university's complexities. But at the same time, some of us are very wary because he has no experience running a football program or with gameday strategy. History has not been kind to first time head coaches at Notre Dame since some guy named Rockne.

Agree. Freeman being a good, hard working guy isn't enough

to dismiss the long held belief that ND is a very tough job for a first time head coach to take on. We've all heard Ara talk about how much he needed his prior head coaching experience before getting to ND, given that the job is even more complex now I would argue his statement is even more accurate. That's not to say Freeman can't overcome it and recruiting the hell out of it is a great start.
