Has an AD ever been given the opportunity to hire three head football coaches?

Good ones Slade. I don't care for Bohn either but just because we have picked 2 bad coaches doesn't mean he can't get it right next time.

Moose Krause was AD at Notre Dame from 1949 until 1981. He hired at least five head coaches.

With Gerry Faust being the last one, right? Way to go out with a bang, Moose. :lol:

It was an experiment. So it didn't work out. There was nobility in the attempt. You bankers are always touting the merits of entrepreneurs taking a chance, right??

Jeremy Foley at UF hired Zook when Spurrier went to the Redskins, then Meyer, and now Boom MFer.

We tout the merits of cash flow, loan to value, and repayment capacity.

Notre Dame has a fair amount of cash flow...and value. And ALWAYS repays its debts.

And..........the government didn't build it!

Of course not. The Pope did. Everybody knows that.

Damn...I was hoping you would have forgotten that the Vatican is indeed a government. Doesn't play well for your politics, though.

Mal Moore was instrumental in the hiring of four head football including Dennis Franchione, Mike Price, Mike Shula, and Nick Saban. He also 'hired' two coaches that accepted the job verbally but backed out during the process-Butch Davis and Mike Riley.
