…level…and he got ND to an undefeated regular season and NC by his third year. He was a good hire to help rectify the damage of the three stooges who preceded him

His third year also revealed him (big game collapse) and phony (interviewing with NFL while preparing for NC). He should have been gone after 5 or 6 tops. (Certainly after 2016.)

Swarbrick f’d that up. He decided to ride him into the dirt.
