Joel Klatt makes the case Notre Dame is still a great college football job | UNDISPUTED 

Urban Meyer used to say Norte Dame was his dream job. If he leaves Ohio State(I don't think he will), he would make that school a championship contender instantly.

Skip Bayless talks about its not a great job because the fans are living in the past. 🤔🤔🤔 What other team do you know that has fans living in the past?

I love how this is always discussed when ND doesn't do well. I never heard this in 2012, first half of the 2014 season, and especially last year. Why do people have this habit? I'm sure when ND is a playoff contender again in 2-3 years again this won't be discussed just like it wasn't last year.

It's not like Notre Dame isn't sending guys to the NFL...they've had as many people drafted the last few years as just about anyone else in college football and they have the top QB in this years draft class currently at their school.

Cmon NotreDame get it together!

this show is great

It used to be that a lot of the players who played at ND came from a huge base of Catholic high schools who would give their right arm to play at ND just because it was Catholic and it had great football. They could get back to that possibly and then get a very good coach and possibly return to greatness. But they have to get back to getting those top kids.

Harrison Smith is widely considered the best Safety in the NFL. He is the highest paid safety. Zach Martin was a first round draft pick and is one of the best linemen on the best offensive line in the NFL. Ronnie Stanley was just selected 6th overall. Jaylon Smith was going to be a top 5 pick before a horrible injury. Golden Tate has had a great career so far. Will Fuller is the best rookie receiver in the NFL. If the draft happened today, Deshone Kizer may be selected number 1 overall. Notre Dame can draw great talent. THE ONLY REASON for the slide since the early 90's is four consecutive terrible coaching hires. Bob Davie unemployed, Ty Willingham unemployed, Charlie Weis unemployed, and soon to be Brian Kelly. The AD's at ND since the 90's are to blame. But its not too late the right the ship if they can land a great proven coach, or a hidden gem. The AD better take this next hire very, very seriously.

I actually agree with both sides. As a die hard ND fan, I feel it's BK's day to day preparation, game management, and play calling in certain situations that are the real issue. Lots of head scratching penalties, poor red zone execution, and that comes from your day to day preparation. He does know how to recruit, especially in the trenches, and since he's been there he has sent more players to the NFL then probably Willingham, Davie, and Weis combined. I think the jury is still out on BK, but the program is better off from a personnel perspective.

People are mistaking 'Notre Dame being stuck in the past' with the fact that the alumni and fanbase appreciate the fact that Notre Dame has such a rich and accomplished history. As do the Yankees, Canadiens, Cowboys, etc. Doesn't mean they are stuck; the tradition, the lore, the history is rich, beloved, and cherished. Years from now Alabama fans will reminisce in what's been happening now.

Even Duke is in a major area with the Raleigh-Durham and a ton of other large schools closeby. It's a more fun environment.

Show is really refreshing the football debate so much better than first take

The Stanford argument is hard to defend, but if you can recruit you can win anywhere.

Skip said he'd live in Palo Alto, but he didn't say East Palo Alto lol.

Actually USC has put the most people in the NFL Joe Klatt

Put away your scrap books, these kids nowadays don't care about winning one for the gripper.

This show is amazingly reasoned and intelligent from all sides when talking about this vs talking about basketball lol

They mention the weather in south bend. Michigan and Ohio aren't exactly warm lol it's all about coaching. A great coach can take average players and win. A Mediocre coach can lose with all the talent in the world. If the Irish had an elite coach. They'd be contenders

Regardless of this season, the fact that he didn't mention Oklahoma loses him a lot of credibility

Urban Meyer and Nick Saban could not get half the players they already get through admissions if either one of the them was coaching at ND

Stanford is a sexier school than Notre Dame even if it's high on academics, it's in the Bay area, not in northeastern Indiana

Steve Spurrier couldn't get the players at SC that he had at Florida, therefore he didn't have the same success. Nick Saban couldn't get the same players into Norte Dame that he can get into Alabama because of admission policies.

Joel klatt the GOAT

notre dame is great and always will be

lol i'm pretty sure ND is in the top 10 for number of players currently in the NFL. He has no clue what hes talking about.

If you,re winning it,s a great job.Notre Dame now is in the backseat to programs like Alabama, Florida St., and Ohio St. These programs are thriving because of coaching and recruiting now that parity is a big part of College football.1988 was the last National Title the Irish won under Lou Holtz.

Joel Klatt is one of the most intelligent college football personalities out there today. Also, people saying FSU is one of the best jobs out there? You are either a fan, have a bias, or are too young to know anything outside of recent college football history.

ND needs a better defense and more powerful running.

Harbaugh is up there with best coaches

The curse of Ty Willingham👉🏾🎯

still taking shots at sherman

skip is right about Moss. ND wins a national title and Randy wins the Heisman and they get another elite 5 years after

Notre Dame is a good job, but no longer a great job. Hypothetically, yes, you still can win a national championship at ND, but it's becoming harder with each year of mediocrity. The things that gave ND an advantage over everyone else for so long have either been neutralized, or in some cases, removed entirely. The reason I don't believe you can still classify Notre Dame in the same rarified air as Alabama, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, and Ohio State is because of location. In particular, the dismal recruiting grounds in the northernmost Midwest states. Notre Dame has to rely on national recruiting to be a championship contending program, because not only is their "seat of power" not very good to begin with, they'll also be battling Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State for the few blue chip prospects in their region. With those programs having more recent successes and a higher prestige in the eyes of high school kids nowadays, Notre Dame is left in the most unenviable position of all. There's also no guarantee you can get those prospects qualified and admitted either. While it may be true that great coaches like Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, and Jim Harbaugh could make ND a legitimate powerhouse again, those types of coaches most likely wouldn't want to go there in the first place. According to the HS recruiting services, the state of Alabama is the #4 state in producing talent. The state of California is #2; Ohio #7; Texas #3. Even when Alabama, USC, Texas, and Ohio State are down, they will be more likely to land those elite coaches capable of reversing their fortunes since they have all the money, exposure, prestige, and history that Notre Dame offers, but with the advantage of better recruiting resources to tap into right away without having to prove themselves on the field first.

There's a guy name Marcus Freeman who is about to shock the world

He makes some valid points. I think one reason they struggle today is because kids don't see it as a glitz and glamour school. Since social media has taken over society we have become prisoners of the moment. Nowadays it's all about glitz, glamour, and being popular. Most kids aren't playing football for a degree anyway because you don't need a degree for the NFL. I seriously think Notre Dame needs a change and it starts with Swarbrick and Kelly.

Notre Dame dame is good they just are having a bad year because all most all there players were freashmans now next year lots of players will be sophmores so they will know what there are doing and win there 13th championship GO IRISH

notre dame needs to join a conference, students wanna play for conference titles!!!!!!!

6 years removed and it’s clear now that Joel Klatt wasn’t invited back to Undisputed because Skip didn’t like his objectiveness, honesty and that mere fact that Joel owned him in every conversation.

3:13 skip Bayless thinks about Richard Sherman

HE REALLY DOES I MEAN IF HE WAS ANY WORSE HE WOULD OF BEEN FIRED

Joel Klatt what do you think we’re stupid? Stanford gets “creative” on their student athletes admission policies. They cheat you fool. At Norte Dame at least they all can speak in complete sentences. The heralded “genius” Richard Sherman. Guess what his major was? Communications. Otherwise known as the lowest tier in difficulty offered. He’s not the only one, trust me. Stanford has a double standard regarding admissions for it’s athletes.

Is Skip EVER RIGHT about anything?

ND is not a great job!! 1.Grades 2. weather 3. Not close to large amounts of players If FSU is open and ND is open FSU is a better job

Auburn is a top job and so is Bama then USC and texas

it's not like shaw and stanford have been that great even head to head with Note dame. Sure Stanford won last year, but it's gone back and forth as of late.

This dude Klatt is annoying to me

the only coach that I think could beat nick saban on a regular basis is Urban Meyer.

does klatt really think that these schools hold football players to the same academic standards as regular students. come on joel really?

Yeah but Pete carrol won a super bowl and sent more players in the nfl and national title. Saban was horrible in the nfl

they need Rudy

Michigan is not a great job, they have 1 national title that they share with Nebraska in 100 years. Championships with leather helmets 100 years ago don’t count.

Compared to Tulsa state girls school lol. Their academics always brought up. What do they require others do not. Give me specifics or shut up. What exact standards are higher. Need higher sat score what exactly. General statements do not impress me give me facts figures or shut up about academic standards. Name last rocket scientist or rhodes scholar fiotball player they had?

Not enough good looking women in South Bend

I hope Klatt was just taking the other side, because his arguments are ridiculous.

Notre Dame football is the single most overrated program in all of college sports.
