do you realize how close they were to the playoffs last year? BK was on top of many lists for Coach of the Year, remember?

this years team is clearly not as talented; they lost a crap load of players to the NFL

AND im not suggesting they should be losing to Duke, but 8-9 wins was always the threshold for 2016

ND should really hope for a playoff run every 3-4 years or so and be content - i just dont see how they believe they have the potential to be Bama or Ohio State

Exactly, they were close. BK hasn't shown he's capable of getting over the hump. I know two point conversions/goal line plays aren't the easiest to call, but losing to Clemson and FSU on last second plays inside the 5 yard line is gut-wrenching.

Maybe I was misled, but I had expectations for 10 or 11 wins this season. We have a stud QB, a deep backfield, a d-line that should be stout, and some receivers with serious potential. Granted losing a few starters 2 weeks before the season didn't help, but that's no excuse to be 1-3.

Between Stanford marching down field with ease, OSU running free in the bowl game, BK's refusal to name a starter and rotate QB's against Texas, and refusing to get rid of VanGorder after last season or after giving up over 50 to UT, there needs to be a change. Maybe if they rebound and finish 10-3 this season and the defense improves I'll say keep him, but anything less and his seat better be on fire.
