Im still perplexed as to why davie was ever hired in the first place? It took us so long to get back to respect under Brian (2012)
I just don't understand why davie? And not an established coach like Alvarez who had experience. @the time ND had to be an attractive top 5 job , It's my understanding they interviewed Barnett at Northwestern but he simply wasn't interested in notre dame.... After davie then the willingham and weis fiasco.
Apparently hesburgh pushed Leahy out and we paid the price for 15 years till Ara........was a similar process under way post Holtz ? Or was it simply an inept AD in wadsworth with no vision, once the train started down mediocrity it took another 15 years for Brian to fix things.
It's sad seeing what happened to kansas, Washington and now new Mexico football, all inept coaches hired post ND
