Did Ty rely more on timing routes and more complex assignments for his receivers or did the receivers just run to a spot in his offense? There was nothing complex about Notre Dame's offense, that was why it was so easily stopped by so many people. Also, it's not like Ty never played young guys - Stovall and McKnight were freshmen and sophomores (and in Rhema's case a junior too) under Ty, and they always got plenty of time. Samardzija, basically a white, slightly slower version of Stovall, never did. I'm not sure why but I know it wasn't smart. And Truffle - Ty probably is a decent coach. As much as I loathe the guy for what he did in recruiting for two years and continuing to allow the perception that his firing may have been racially motivated, he's not that bad. He just wasn't a fit for a place that demands as much from their coaches as ND does. He probably did get a raw deal (at the time, I didn't like the firing), though in hindsight it's pretty easy to see that ND is better for having dumped him.
