What do people think about Jimmy Clausen joining the ND football program?

Charlie Weis had his pick of the QB litter.....they all know that being under his pro style ND offense will virtually lock you in at a top 10 NFL draft pick if you put your nose to the grind stone and absorb what Charlie can teach you.  Thus Jimmy Clausen is probably going to be excellent considering the # of QB's ND could have signed up, he was Weis's pick.

Interesting ?, Eventhough he most likely would have got the starting nod in Houston from day one. I think the Saints are a better fit. Deuce will be a excellent teacher for Reggie and the O-line is MUCH better in New Orleans...although I still think David Carr is the better QB, sorry Drew. If only Carr wasn't sacked 100+ times a season he might be a pro bowler. But the Saints are dancing with Reggie.\n\n   The Doctor is IN

I hadn't heard he was considering it.\nInteresting.  I agree it'd be dumb. \nNot only is USC as close to a dynasty as there is in college football, but he already tried the NFL and didn't do so great.   He should just stick to what works.

He's a great player but too much trouble. I would have signed him but to an incentive-laden contract with lots of behavior clauses.\n\nIn the end I think that Dallas is the best fit but the drama will be too much for them. Expect ESPN to have T.O. 24/7 during training camp.

I'm sorry but the Big 12 is just too tough for Nebraska. I'm a CU fan and i'll admit it's too tough for both our teams. The Big 12 South is going to dominate. As for Lucky, I doubt it but we'll have to see. Check out Hugh Charles from CU.

Oh yeah, I'm in full agreement here. They have really built Young up but on the same note News2 out of Nashville reported how much he had to learn and how simple how Young had made learning sound. Hopefully, he is more serious than how it sounds. Of course, look what they did with PacMan Jones. Geez, I wondered why with that one. And, is it true McNair has gone to Baltimore?? Not sure how I feel about that. I know he had lost much of what he was. But, was it all him?? I really like him even though he seemed to be losing it. \n\nOkie dokie, I'll stop before I get carried away :) Just a Tennessean who loves her Titans and want them to have a fantastic year!!

i havent heard anything about jevan transferring. personally i think he should just stay around and redshirt next year and be the starter his sr. year.....although i highly doubt he'll do that with his talent, he'll want to showcase it elsewhere. if he does go we're sure gonna miss him. TEXAS FIGHT!!

Like many other bad teams, Mississippi State can play a close game once in a while, but Crooms has to go.  The team has looked dead the past couple of years and I would not be surprised if this pattern continues while he is the coach.  Why settle for such a situation when there are plenty of good coaches around.

He has been asked, twice, IIRC, but he refused both times.  Good move, I think.  Some guys are just built to coach NCAA 1A and not the NFL.  Look at Pete Carroll, or Steve Spurrier...

He possibly could win a National Title at Notre Dame.  How long it will take is another story.  He has to be a good recruiter.  His success as a coach will depend on well he recruits in the future.

What about Thomas Clayton... he's the best player on the team.  If K State will have any success at all this year it will be because of him.  Besides Meier's probably going to start at QB anyway.

Dude....tough call!  It seems like the Big Ten is moving more and more to the West Coast Offense, but the foundation of the conference is running the ball.  Perhaps not as much as in the SEC, but the coaches in the Big Ten need to run to win.\n\nThat leaves us with a lot of good players to consider:\n\nMichigan's Michael Hart\nOhio State's Antonio Pittman\nMinnesota's Amir Pinnix\nNorthwestern's Tyrell Sutton\nMichigan State's Javon Ringer\nWisconsin's Hill/Walker/Foster combo\nPenn State's Tony Hunt\nIndiana's Josiah Sears\nIllinois's Pierre Thomas\nIowa's Albert Young\nand \nPurdue's Kory Sheets.\n\nMy money is on Tyrell Sutton as the best back in the Big Ten, but the spread offensive never hurts.  Sutton averaged 5.9 yards per carry last season, and he will get more touches with Basanez gone.  My only concern is that the offense could get too one-dimensional there if CJ Bacher can't keep up the good progress made by Basanez.\n\nWho will lead the conference in rushing yards next year?  That's gonna be Albert Young.  He is built like the ideal RB.  Strong and quick.  He and Drew Tate are the perfect one-two punch on the Hawkeye offense.\n\nThe most valuable back to their team?  Kory Sheets.  Purdue QB Curtis Painter loves to run the option, and that will only add to Sheets's production.\n\nMy Honorable Mentions are extended to Hart, Pittman, Ringer and Pinnix who will all have HUGE seasons next year.\n\nKeep your eyes on Jehuu Caulcrick for MSU, though...he's fantastic, too.\n\nMan, there's just to many good backs to choose....GREAT QUESTION!!!!

No, ND'S is a long way from being a Big 10 team. They did dominate in NCAA Div 2, but they are going to have a much harder time of it as a NCAA Div 1 team. Notre Dame would be a much better candidate for the Big 10.

Yes. They are returning all of their starters, and have added to their secondary in free agency and the draft. They've got Grossman back and healthy for the season (cross your fingers), and now have Griese as a suitable backup. At the receiver spot, Bradley was starting to come on last year before he got hurt, and Berrian hsowed some potential towards the end of the season, and obviously they have Muhammed in the #1 spot. As far as the tight end situation, they don't have a stand-out player at the position, but Desmond Clark is at least serviceable, and Ron Turner's offenses typically dont rely heavily on tight ends. The problem that I do see is what most see as the strong suit- running back. I've got a bad feeling they're going to end up going with a RB-by-committee situation, which I think is a bad idea. Platoon situations don't give either back a chance to get into a real rhythm. Jones is already not happy with the situation, and I'm sure Benson won't be after long. I think they do have a chance to go to the bowl this year, but I think they may be one more year away.

WAr EAGLE BABY!!!!\n\n\nThey did great picking up recruits this year. Hawethorne, one of the country's top WR, was an awesome pickup and will help replace the WRs we lost last year.\n\nI think we will be awesome this year. Brandon Coxs has a year experience under center, Kenny Irons will be awesome, Defense is young - David Irons didnt go to the draft, and we have recruited great the last couple of years so we have talent on the bench. \n\nWAR EAGLE BABY.....!!!!!

Way overrated!!! You know why he didn't play at Florida State or Florida, cause he S-U-C-K-S!! People want to say that he was a good player on a crappy team, HELLO!? Tim Counch anybody, and they both won about the same number of SEC games = two!! Drew Brees played for a middle of the road Big Ten team in Purdue, but at least he won games. With college quaterbacks if you have a crappy won-lost record you will probably be C-R-A-P-P-Y, but that is not to miss the other side of that coin (Ken Doresy, Brock Berlin) the talent around a quarterback definitly affects the wins and losses...
