Why do you bother hiring this guy if you would not give him a chance. This firing is b.s. Why don't they go get o'leary that is truely who they wanted their anyway. they just hung around with the best team in the nation on usc turf for the first half. I am sorry he did a great job at Stanford he deserves more time. Also maybe people should wake up this is not the same notre dame of 10 or more years ago. They are quickly turning into an average school. Expectations way too high and the coach pays the price. I hope he got a great package from Notre Dame.
