Notre Dame is going to be this kind of a team on offense, and be that kind of a team on defense. Tom Noie: Steve: A coach with a plan would be a good start. Steve McTigue: Tom, what do you think the Irish are looking for in a new head coach? Don’t you think they should secure that position fairly soon to avoid to many portal transfers, and to bring in new talent? It's a harder job than anyone wants to admit, which is why it's a lot closer to Boston College and Georgia Tech than anyone wants to admit. Notre Dame often can't touch the prospects that go to Duke or Carolina or Kansas or UCLA or even Virginia. I can't tell you that "none of the teams that do compete every year don't have some standards," but I will. The admission standard remains the standard. Now? Maybe one or two top 100 would be seriously interested in Notre Dame. Of those 10, maybe two, sometimes three would actually have a passing interest in the program. One former Irish assistant coach said years ago - a decade or so back - that even back then, in the mid-2000s, out of the top 100 high school seniors maybe 10 - maybe - would have the grades to get into Notre Dame for basketball. ![]() Tom Noie: Mike: Two questions in and and we've already reached the non-believer section. You can not tell me that none of the teams that do compete every year don't have some standards also. Maybe not get the one or two to make you a national champ every year but good enough to be in the top twenty and at least compete for the top half in the ACC. Just can not believe there are not three or four kids in the whole USA that are not smart enough to go to N.D. Roll through the 23 memories of Brey's 23 seasons for evidence. ![]() This isn't ending the way anyone imagined, but it was one hell of a ride. How many fans of a program that was dying a slow death would've taken nearly 500 wins? Three Sweet 16s? Two Elite Eights? A freaking ACC tournament championship after beating Duke and North Carolina? How many would've taken that? How about everybody. But rewind back to July 2000 when Mike Brey walked in the door of the Joyce Center. Should it have been better in the NCAA tournament? Absolutely. Tom Noie: Skill and leadership and, oh, by the way, a heck of a lot of memories and games and wins that nobody thought possible back in 2000. I thought his article Sunday highlighting the top 23 games under Coach Brey was particularly effective to remind us all of the skill & leadership Coach has given the players & fans over his 23 seasons. Definitely a boys clubħ) Customers can be super rude, which is compounded by the fact that they all are most likely carrying a gun or going to go shoot.ĩ) CEO is a penny pincher, don't expect anything but the bare minimum in terms of safety equipment or store supplies/maintenanceġ0) Can be easily fired if mistakes on federal paperwork are made (seen more people fired than I can countġ1) Most stores are understaffed, so expect to be doing the work of 2 employees.Guest: I congratulate Tom for his fair & balanced critique of ND b-ball over these past years. If you screw up or management doesn't like you, they will put you in the range for longer than the advertised "2 hrs per day"ĥ) Will only work you way up if management likes you. You just end up overpaying for the stores products because the product you want is right there in front of youĢ) Don't make commission unless you're full time and a shift leadģ) Lots of cleaning, company does not have an outside cleaning service so expect do be cleaning oftenĤ) You have to supervise idiots with guns, sometimes for up to 8 hours a day as a Range Safety officer. ![]() 1) No employee discount: can get things cheaper anywhere else.
