The man knows how to run a college football program. We are very lucky to have him.

 

[UConnDan97]

Definitely well deserved! We've got the right coach in place to take us where we want to go. We haven't been able to say that in a long time. Glad he's on board!

i love that he won it…but does he deserve it over Marcus Freeman at ND? I mean..ND is a top 4 team. Or…are we pretending ND isn’t an independent.

They are just going w/ the flow here …

Why do Independents get lumped in with the Pac12?

 

[jostar1]

Maybe they think he's still a PAC12 coach.

It's people from New England I think

 

[huskymedic]

Why do Independents get lumped in with the Pac12?

Because we’re only talking 5 coaches total?

WSU
OSU
UMass
UConn
Notre Dame

 

[NowInStorrs]

Is this just for coaches in the greater Boston area or is it for coaches in the whole country?

New England > Previous Head Coach winners

New England > Previous Head Coach winners

Why does Mike DeLong look like he's surprised to be caught coaching football?

WSU

Yeah, they are the leftovers.

Are you pretending ND didn't lose to NIU? UConn beat all the teams they were supposed to, ND didn't.

 

[CJasmer]

Why do Independents get lumped in with the Pac12?

Next year there are only be 2 independent FBS programs. I guess they could trade awards back and forth between the two schools. My guess adding the PAC12 provides at least / more teams to choose from.

 

[Vowelguy]

Congrats!
But not so much congrats that someone else tries to steal him.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Are you pretending ND didn't lose to NIU? UConn beat all the teams they were supposed to, ND didn't.

Silly argument. ND will likely be a top 4 playoff team. I don’t think they were picked to be there pre-season.

Or, …are some people pretending Freeman with a home loss to NIU and 3, maybe 4 wins against highly respected, quality opponents, truly deserves ND’s ranking?

 

[Waquoit]

They lost to NIU.
