Oh man.... if that's how it goes, then that sucks. MF, you get like a D- for that result. That guy was like a C- hire as a mere, lowly position coach. And then he's going to promoted to the top spot, when he has only minimal experience or reputation for excellence, and theoretically we could handpick anyone we want, anyone out in the great wide world, for ND football, the most prestigious and mystique-soaked brand in American sporting lore, and who's back in the spotlight, competing with the big boys again, and we're going to settle for this dude because we're so worthless we can't or won't get anyone better, because he's already sitting there on the couch, basically, and that's all were capable as a program of even putting together....
I would say that's an F. Just on the merits of such a hire, in and of itself, regardless of how it turns out. And it's basically dumb luck if he actually ended up okay. But hopefully it doesn't go that way....
