Swarbrick has yet to fire an ND coach he hired

Schrage was a Kevin White hire. The previous women's VB and LAX coaches likewise were hired by earlier ADs.

I think Swarbrick cares, at least in the general sense. But the big question to me is how much it will take for him to get rid of a head coach he brought to ND. As disappointing as this season has been, and as mediocre as the last 6 have been in the aggregate (not to mention the 4 before that), I'd be surprised if Swarbrick pulled the trigger after this season.

We'll probably know soon. Schrage's departure was announced in mid-June 2010.
