Big credit to Jack Swarbrick now. Without his work, this would not have been possible.

ND has hired inexperienced guys before with no Head Coach resume and none of it worked out. We all questioned it at the time.Not MF's work ethiic or personality but his inexperience being a HC and how that will work out at ND. Nobody was 100% on board at the time. Most continued to question as the inexcusable losses came and went. But he continued to move forward, learning as he went along. I think if you talk to Irish fans leaving the stadium after NIU, the feeling about MF and Jack would be much different than this morning. We can't rewrite history but we can appreciate that we may have underestimated MF as a man and as a HC. We also should take a deep dive into what Al Golden's influence and experience has meant to MF and our program.
