'A good man' is the perfect description
Gerry Faust was the head coach for my first three years at ND. Any number of students in that era have anecdotal stories of very positive interactions with him. He was universally generous and he treated us students extremely well. His love for Notre Dame was genuine and he showed it in so many ways.
He did have some big wins - most notably the win @ #1 Pitt, but also a win @ #7 LSU, He was also 1-4 against Air Force.
RIP Gerry. You were a good man.
