Good post Jimbo, I was thinking the same thing. You would think that if the improvements in every aspect except on the field were that great - and if ND as a university professes to care about the kids' education and moral development - he should get at least the full four years. If the W-L record was still not up to par after his fourth year then I could understand the firing. This incident revealed ND is as nakedly corrupt as the rest of the big I-A programs. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

Remember Notre Dame acquiesed when richard phelps broke his Fordham contract. they are holy than thou phonies in the most boring state in the Union. (NT) Meagher 74 18:01:41 12/01/04 Wed

How are they hypocritical? You think Willingham did not know the expectations of him when he took the job? Get a clue. They fired O'leary for a minor gaffe in his resume that was inconsequential. What should they do next hire a disabled, native american gay woman as coach? willingham left a better academic school to go to ND he knew the deal and he will be fine and get another job in a heartbeat., Notre Dame wants to be in contention to win a championship every year, whether it is realistic or not remains to be seen, but that was the clear expectation. WIllingham knew it and took the risk. (NT) Chief Nakahoma 22:17:03 12/01/04 Wed
