Navy Game Concerns

The 2010 roster was loaded with NFL talent

Yeah but they were incredibly soft. The culture under Weis was awful.

To be fair Faust had 5 years TW only 3. So solely going by records of both in the 3 years it looks like this

GF- 18 wins. 17 losses. 1 tie

TW- 21 wins. 15 losses

Based on that. TW was slightly better

What does playing like a high school team mean? They lost some tough games and won some games easily in year 1. Then they got better in year 2 and had winning seasons in years 2-4.

Willingham is the worst coach. He got fired after three years because he was horrible. He had a fluky 8-0 start and was terrible after that. Recruiting went to crap because of him and it sounds like he didn’t even try.

Faust, Davie, and Weis all got five years because they weren’t as terrible as Willingham.

Then Willingham went and destroyed Washington. He’s the worst.

Willingham got fired because Notre Dame got suckered into believing Urban Meyer was coming.

Willingham got fired because Notre Dame got suckered into believing Urban Meyer was coming.

Maybe. How do you know or is that just a theory? Two bad seasons and reportedly wasn’t putting an effort into recruiting. That’s a legitimate cause for firing someone, and maybe he wouldn’t have been fired had he gone 9-2 or 8-3 even if it was true that ND wanted Meyer.
