A Bob Stoops type of coach (or Nick Saban or Urban Meyer) is going to demand to have near full control of a football program. While many schools are willing to do this, you can safely bet dollars to dimes, that the Notre Dame Board of Trustees will *never* give up that level of control to anyone.
Now, that being said, I would dance a jig if Bob Stoops came here, but alas, it's not going to happen.
