He has no playing or coaching history in the NFL, he's not an X&O coach, his personal & personnel strengths don't appear relevant in the NFL context and he hasn't yet coached a season at ND in which he did not lose to at least one team he should not have lost to. Beyond John Mara's man crush, I'm baffled.
