It's gotten mixed reviews for sure, his team did get better as the 2nd half of the season but I can't say that fans feel they haven't taken a downgrade in coaching replacing Link Jarrett. We'll have to wait and see how this upcoming season plays out.
The only thing I note in reports coming out of fall camp is that anybody who thought that CJ Carr was a lock to win the QB1 job, better think again. Kenny Minchey so far might be having the better camp although both of them struggled in the 1st day of camp.
Jon Gruden can sometimes be over the top.183K views ยท 3.7K reactions | Look at what box just came through the doors of the FFCA... it might be the box of all boxes. THE NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH, MAN! My dad used to coach running backs at Notre Dame, and I went to high school in South Bend! Thank you Coach Freeman and @ndfootball for this box!! | Jon Gruden
Apparently Kedren Young, soph RB, is out for 4-6 months for an undisclosed injury (at this time). He was having a great camp was looking like a great 3rd down and short yardage back.
Gruden certainly exhibited an encyclopedic knowledge for ND football players, only thing he blew was Brandon Aubrey kicker for the Cowboys who so far has been amazing, but although he's a ND grad he never put on a football uniform at ND. Soccer.`
I watched the entire Gruden post and likewise was impressed but puzzled by the Brandon Aubrey reference because I hadn't heard of him at ND. Nevertheless, he has an amazing memory for former ND players. What a haul!
Luke Talich is a kid I really like, comes from Casper Wyoming and wanted to be at ND bad enough that he turned down scholarships to be a PWO at ND, he's earned a scholarship since arriving.
