Dumb move, born of arrogance, not unlike the firing of Frank Solich of Nebraska. Guys, it ain't the '70's anymore. There is a fair amount of parity in college football. You can't recruit the best players just by BEING Notre Dame or Nebraska. You cannot expect to go undefeated every year. I used to like both Nebraska and Notre Dame, but now I wish them ill-will just because they seem to think they are so damned good. I LOVED seeing Nebraska have a losing season and not going to a bowl after 35 years. Hope the same thing happens to the Irish.
