I think that is a good move by Clausen but Notre Dame is Notre Dame and always will be. ND is one of if not the top jobs in the country.

Actually, I think that makes it more attractive. Expectations will be lower w/o the 2 best players.

I don't think any of the HC candidates are surprised by this.

It's Paul Johnson and Clausen will not fit into his system so he is going to the NFL.

I'm thinking Jake Locker might have something to say about that.

think with the NFL not having a salary cap next season has more than anything to do with it. Who knows what happens the yr after next. If I were borderline, I'd definitely go.

that is sort of it.. but moreso, its that rookie contracts are going to get capped after next year, and this will be the last year of the big bonuses and big guaranteed money for rookies..

Mallett


I maintain that this is the best QB in the SEC... next year i think he will prove it even more and be the number one over all coming out.

I think Sam Bradfords injury has to do alot with his plans to enter the draft.

not everyone agrees with this:
quote:

Just because you think Notre Dame is special doesn't mean recruits think it's special.


quote:

There's a reason it would take a major miracle for Bob Stoops to leave Oklahoma for Notre Dame. The reason is obvious: He has a better job at OU.

Urban Meyer? He has a better job at Florida.

Nick Saban? He has a better job at Alabama.

I could even make the argument that Gary Patterson has a better gig at TCU. If you're a Domer, you might not want to accept it, but it's true. Same goes for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford and, gulp, maybe even Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern.


quote:

With the exception of having its own TV network for home games, why is Notre Dame football any different from or, more precisely, any better than Florida, Bama, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, Boise State, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Iowa, Virginia Tech, LSU, Miami, USC, Tennessee, Stanford, Northwestern, Georgia, Nebraska or Wisconsin? Just because it's Notre Dame?
Sorry, that doesn't work anymore. The brand doesn't carry the same weight it once did.
