Dont know if you've been paying attention, but the ND athletic dept, is in fine footing..We may not like it, but I think the days of evaluating the ND AD , just based on the success/failure of the football program are over..Men's basketball coming off two elite 8s, women's basketball a perennial national title contender, success in many at other sports, top 10 in Sears cup standings 2 years in row..all go to his leadership, in eyes of the adm..And, while we are all dissatisfied with the football program, in the eyes of the admin , they went to a major bowl 2 of last 4 years including a national title game appearance..All this while coming in no. 1 in graduation rates..
To speculate on JS's job security is pure folly; he'll leave of his own volition only, when he's ready to move on..And as a lawyer, he's helping ND navigate thru the ever changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics..Posting he needs to go is coming from internet warriors on the various message boards only..
