If he had character, he would have followed his heart and went to Notre Dame. He would have thrived; however, fame and fortune was too heady a wine for his ambition and greed.
He won 2 NCs at Florida but his players were always getting arrested and on the police blotter. No problem. It's OK, if you win.
He won another NC at OSU but slinked out of town under the cloud of looking the other way in regards to an abusive assistant coach.
As for his " dream school " Notre Dame, he regularly poached their recruits and assistant coaches.
If he were a man of character, he would have taken the ND job, and would now be a legend. But he sold his soul for evanescent fame and glory and lost his integrity in the process.
