Not Davie, not Weis, not even Willingham.

Lost to a 3-9 Toledo team at home. The two other teams Toledo beat that year was a 2-10 Miami of Ohio and a 3-9 EMU. Is any lost that WeisDavieWillingham ever had at ND that bad? I don't think so.

Ends a 30 plus year streak of bowl appearances.

Ends a 40 plus year streak of .500 or above records.

Puts them on probation.

Costs them millions to buy him out of the WVU contract and millions more to get out of the remainder of his Michigan contract.

All for 3 years of work.

You could argue that Weis cost ND more - but I would disagree. He got us to a BCS bowl game in 2005 that paid $12 million or so? Netting that against what we paid him - I think RichRod costs Michigan more dollar wise.

And we certain didn't have the expense of the NCAA investigation or defense that RichRod required either.
