For the first time in over 40 years, I didn’t attend this game, I didn’t watch the stream, I didn’t look for updates on Edgy Tim. Until we decide what we are going to do with football, I will not be an active participant.Sad times in Niles. 28-0 at half. On our way to a mind-boggling fourth straight shutout.
Is it time for a younger coach with a fresher offensive mind? I wouldn't recommend the band aid rip MC did with Lenti, but I can't believe he still likes coaching 😀For the first time in over 40 years, I didn’t attend this game, I didn’t watch the stream, I didn’t look for updates on Edgy Tim.

In my humble opinion, Mike Hennessy might be the second most important person in the history of the school behind Fr. Smyth. He’s Frank Lenti minus the incredible success that Lenti had at MC. With that being said, if MC could rip the band aid with one of the most successful coaches in the history of Illinois high school football, there’s no reason ND couldn’t do the same. I’m not advocating for that but it could be done.Is it time for a younger coach with a fresher offensive mind?

I could not disagree more emphatically. All due respect to Coach Hennessy, but it is 5-10 years past time for him to hand the keys over. He has earned the respect he has been given, but someone has to step up and have the difficult conversation no one has been willing to have with him. It is way past time. Kids are not going there because of the football-that is a BIG problem.In my humble opinion, Mike Hennessy might be the second most important person in the history of the school behind Fr. Smyth.

You mentioned younger, you’d be hard pressed to hire someone older at this point. I’m not against someone older as long as they’d win. Brings me to the point of all of this. Who do you hire? The heir apparent is Dan DiFranza the DC who has been coaching at ND for 30 years? I love Dan, he’s a great guy but does he want it? Would we be better going with a completely new regime? I personally believe a completely new regime is the way to go.
If ND decides that a new regime is the way to go, who do we hire. I’d honestly love to hear opinions on who are the hot prospects . I believe ND can win big , I believe we are a sleeping giant with the right guy. Tell me Edgy nation who that guy is.
I’m not sure what you’re emphatically disagreeing with me on. I basically said it’s time to pull the band aid as Mc Caravan cautioned against.I could not disagree more emphatically.

That said, Dan DeFranza has way more than earned the nod. If you or anyone else who has any decision making juice at ND doesn’t think so…there’s another old school ESCC school who will gladly bring him aboard!
I was wondering about the history at Niles Notre Dame. Now I know a little. Where do the best players go? What about St. Pat's?

I think DePaul Prep is taking a lot of kids that used to go to ND. They are improving every year.
Ik they won’t do it, but they need to get rid of hennessey. It’s the same thing almost every year.Sad times in Niles. 28-0 at half. On our way to a mind-boggling fourth straight shutout.
Not sure if they’ll adjust the divisions again after this year or wait till next but it feels like ND should move down from the Orange. Not saying ND is bad but the schedule y’all have is not conducive to getting 5 wins. ND, Providence, IC should move down. Fenwick, Laurence, Rita should move up.
They just adjusted this year. It stays for two, no?The division definitely need to be redone. No reason that Iccp is in a tougher division than Marist.
Usually two years but they’ve gone back to back now on adjusting after 1They just adjusted this year. It stays for two, no?
The re-shuffle two years ago was with SF/IC entering and it was said it was going to be changed after 1 year.Usually two years but they’ve gone back to back now on adjusting after 1
