Harvard isn't the worst destination for him. If ND has done its job, perhaps we can lure him back when the time comes.

I'm pretty sure he loves ND and would take the head job

if offered. But things change, Harvard/Boston is nice, who knows. A big blow to the program for sure.
But you had to expect it

If Byrne wanted to be a head coach, his window of opportunity was rapidly closing. I would love to seem him succeed Corrigan here, when the time comes. But there's only about a 3-year age difference between Corrigan and Byrne, so perhaps that isn't in the cards.

And while I'm no expert on the subject, I would say that at first glance, Notre Dame came out from this about as well as could reasonably be expected. We landed Wellner, a highly-regarded assistant who could be a HC sooner rather than later, to replace Byrne. And we also added Wojcik, who has HC experience and probably could be expected to replace Wellner should Wellner get a HC opportunity after next season.
