assistant coach choices and Jones would have a two-year contract. For 25 years, I've chuckled when ND fans throw out these demands with our failed head coaches that the AD should dictate when changes with assistants should be made. If you have a head coach who allows an AD to dictate who are your assistants and who should be let go, you have a weak head coach. The next time a head coach has a bad year and you think about saying, "Freeman/Fickell/Campbell needs to have conditions placed on his return, namely that he must replace _____________," just stifle yourself. That's idiotic, and you may as well hand over the keys to the program to your administrators.
That is all.
