Swarbrick apparently has no high goals for ND football.

If he retains BK for next season, he sends a message that he considers ND football no longer important to the university. He can put all the fancy glitter and gold to the stadium he wants, but if he doesn't care about the Irish returning to prominence then ND football is dead. It is nearly on life support as it is. An athletic directors goals should be to put the best teams on the field to compete with competent coaches. He grades a D. The basketball team is good. Soccer good. The moneymaker ,though , is football. It is a disaster. I will not condemn players[they can be competitive]. They are merely reflecting the poor coaching that they are receiving. Both BK and JS should resign for their failures to football team. Their egos, however, won't allow it. I am afraid that ND football that was once proud and tough is no more. Will ND return to prominence with BK? Quote the raven" Never more".

a decision about who is or will be the head coach of Notre Dame football lies with a committee...not the AD. In spite of current circumstances...the decision is that big.

We shall see. I just can't fathom keeping with the status quo. Once you lose the fan base a change has to be made. Take Bodi for example, as passionate and supportive as you can get. Week in and week out he continually tried to stay positive. Trying to convince himeself/us that this is the week things will turn around. Then come gameday the steel toed boot that is coach Kelly squashed him like a pesky cockroach. For him 8 squashings was enough. When the Bodester loses hope, all hope is lost.
