I guess instead of hiring a good, young coach, who has completely turned around a program very similar to Notre Dame they should hire some retread like Dick Vermeil, or as some of you have mentioned Lou Holtz. Willingham is a good coach who will do very well at Notre Dame. I think in a few years, you'll be quite happy.

How many Superbowls has Vermeil won? And who brought UCLA back to prominence? Oh.

I'd be willing to bet that Willingham will just turn out to be average. He might go 8-3 or 7-4 for a couple of seasons but thats it. Nothing more... He might be a great "organizer" but he definitely does not have that winning record people are talking about.
