UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

tacitly acknowledging what he had been doing was inappropriate, yet after that period, he went back to his prior behavior, gathering the kids together on the field of play to 'help them be better people'...per his own beliefs...that's not right.

Maybe the coach should become a minister or priest, or start a non-profit half-way house for kids who have problems...but if he still wants to work in a government job, he needs to conform. As mentioned there are plenty of other resources for the kids...most especially, their parents and houses of worship...he can pray alone and set a good example, but not 'induce' those kids to follow his personal beliefs. I'm sure he's a good guy who cares for those kids, but he clearly doesn't understand the "Big Picture"...this is, btw, why another "Kennedy" had to go very public with his conviction that there would be NO INFLUENCE on his Presidency from the Roman Catholic Church....how quickly we forget.
