There is plenty in the job description of a major college football coach without making academic achievement his responsibility. It has been said many times on this board that ND coaches have always had teams that did well in the classroom because there is a whole support staff in place to allow that to happen. The coach shouldn’t recruit within the academic constraints and stay out of the way if for example a lab conflicts with practice. But the idea that academic development fall on him is unreasonable. Maybe we’re talking about the same thing with respect to his “academic” responsibilities.
