Stanford is the only good team on ND's schedule this year. They will probably be undefeated heading into South Bend and it's a guarantee that Stanford is going to win. Now, Notre Dame fans are desperate to find their coach Tressel, or in other words, a coach that's actually good and not hyped up by the media.

The question is, if the Stanford loss is close, does ND reward BK with a 10 year contract? Normally, a program would only award coaches on wins, but ND is the only program in history that awards coaches by how much they lose, rather than how much they win.

Thoughts?

The Ohio State president remarked after the 13-13 tie against Michigan in 1992 that "a tie is one of our greatest wins ever."

enigmaax;868576 wrote:True. I forgot that Cooper's extension actually came the year before, after he continued his winless streak both against Michigan (which is why the tie appeared to be so great) and in bowl games (one of those was to Air Force). But it was only a 4 year extension.

sleeper;868579 wrote:Exactly. A 4 year extension screams "While you're not up to par for The Ohio State University, we'd like to give you a chance to be successful both on and off the field". A 10 year contract screams "We don't know what we are doing, but the fans seem to think you're the real deal, we love having close losses, we are ND".

I think the Cardinal is not as good as hyped this year. First year with a new head coach is going to cause them headaches IMO. I see a 7-5 type season.

enigmaax;868778 wrote:Actually, you referenced OSU in your first paragraph when you mentioned the guy who is two months removed from being their coach. I was merely correcting the bolded part as there is at least one other example in history of a school who extended a loser's contract.

One is in complete shambles with one of the worst coaches riddled with scandals, the other is in complete shambles but just got rid of one of the worst coaches riddled with scandals.
