Notre Dame football.

Nothing else they might have done can overcome their dreadful oversight of Notre Dame football. They greased the skids for the decline of Notre Dame football which is the face of Notre Dame athletics. They will always be remembered as complete failures because of their mismanagement and squandering the tradition and heritage of Notre Dame football.

Wadsworth essentially fired Lou and hired Davie. Nothing more need be said.

White's modernization and fully funding olympic sports is a pimple on a gnat's ass compared to the apologetic Willingham firing, the O'Leary hiring and firing fiasco and the Weis hiring and imprudent 10 year contract.


and Swarbrick has succeeded at ND football?

That is my point. At least Wadsworth and White succeeded elsewhere. Swarbrick has succeeded nowhere.


Nope. All 3 failed at their one and most important duty.

In my opinion, anything else that was done under their watch is of no consequence or is outweighed by their failure of managing ND football in ranking their performance. As a result I rank them as equals at the bottom. We will just need to agree to disagree on the ranking criteria and results.
