Urban Meyer (Utah) worked for Lou Holtz at Notre Dame and ND tried getting him before they hired Ty. It would explain the firing if Meyer agreed to leave Utah. Also - when was the last time ND actually fired a coach with time remaining on his contract? ND would not make this move without having a bird in their hand, so to speak.

>>ND tried getting him before they hired Ty<<

Huh? If this were true, he would have been there and not at Utah.

ND hired George O'Leary and then "asked" him to resign when the flap about his resume came up. The "reinterviewed" Willingham to deflect the criticism about not hiring a black coach. They decided to go ahead and hire him.

The really should have left Bob Davie alone. Until ND joins a conference or quits playing such a rough schedule (and I'm a HUGE fan of a tough schedule), 7 or 8 wins is about the best they can expect.
