Excellent bait for the trolls. I see several already. My compliments.
BaronVonZemo 64229 postsAnd for the record, I see Swarbrick as a mixed bag with my biggest disappointment being 1) his CYA at the Declan Sullivan tragedy, 2)his negligence of the hoops team, and 3)failing to fire Kelly in 2016.
His greatest achievements were Crossroads, maintaining independence, and better turf that didn’t look like an embarrassment by October every Fall. -

It's all about the money for Jack. Toss in the fake grass turf for good measure.

I thought he put too much time in on the "minor" sports but the turf was necessary because our field
grass was never right.

Nonsense
Somehow they make grass work at Mich St, Northwestern, Browns stadium, Soldier Field and even Green Bay.
It can be done. It's about desire.

Quite honestly, in photos without glasses you can just tell there is 'something' off with the guy.

Top of my head
Artificial turf. Hockey East. Pathetic 2024 schedule. 12 team playoff with ND's max ceiling at #5. Death of ND basketball - just incredible the decline of a program that is top ten in all time wins. End of sellout streak. Partnership with ticket resale vampire. Adoration of Brian Kelly, who effed him over and he never saw it coming. Ludwig embarrassment. Adoration of Tommy Rees. 'Game Day Experience'. Scheduling of FCS school. Adoration of self / cameras. So slow to pay going rate for assistant coaches.
I am so happy he is leaving.

He never missed a photo op
He was totally unprepared for Kelly leaving even though Kelly had tried to leave more than twice before.
Beyond that, it is hard to explain.

He was no Moose Krause. He brought a very “corporate” approach to ND.
He had a somewhat “stuffed shirt” personality.
Very good with the $$$ and the legal aspects. Made sound judgments without a lot of emotion.
Put significant emphasis on sports other than football.

Sure: Ol’ Swarbricky had a team eieio, and on this team he had a
coach, eieio. With a suck job here and a suck job there, here a suck there a suck everywhere a suck job, Ol’ Swarbricky had a team, EIEIO!

Kept Kelly past '16.
Hired an Inexperienced HC with only Defensive experience and then sabotaged what would have been a home run OC hire.
