After the third of those losses, Davie stated in the locker room (in full view of White) that he had no idea what was wrong and no idea how to fix it.

In truth, the policy retired with him. Merry Christmas, GR #10 –

The “ND coach gets five years” policy was Father Hesburgh’s, ND’s president from 1952-1987. Faust’s tenure was during Hesburgh’s presidency.

In 1988, Father Malloy became president. Bob Davie would have been fired after 1999 (his third year), but when the season ended, ND did not have an active AD. ND’s AD from 1994-99, Mike Wadsworth, had resigned, and Kevin White, who was hired from Arizona State, was still busy in Tempe and would begin his ND duties until April 2000. However, it was common knowledge among ND folks and the South Bend press that White was hired “to find Bob Davie’s successor” after the 200 season ended. Alas, Davie’s 2000 Irish squad finished 9-2 with an OT loss to then-#1 Nebraska, and White extended his contract 2 years – a move he regretted very quickly as ND was destroyed in the Fiesta Bowl and then started the 2001 season 0-3. After the third of those losses, Davie stated in the locker room (in full view of White) that he had no idea what was wrong and no idea how to fix it. That pretty much did it for Davie, who White fired after the season.

Hesburgh was at ND so long that folks equated his “ND coach always gets five years” policy to a long standing ND SOP. In truth, the policy retired with him.

Most of them LOSE money on football, to the extent that they have to keep hitting up boosters just to break even. Football brings in more revenue, and spends it all and then some. Yes, I too am a sick junkie for it, but that doesn't mean I don't know what he's talking about...

I escaped just over a month ago and it's nice to no longer feel like a character in a bad David Lynch film. Regarding discrimination there, my African American boss had the best line, "At least when I lived in the South, I knew who the racists were." Emerald City smiles; not always sincere.

The hiring of Willingham has set the program back 5 years. Does anyone know the our beloved UDUB is the only school in top 20 wins of all time to hire bak to back fired coaches (Gilbertson and Tytanic).

ND's version preferred to cave (grudgingly and petulantly, but cave nonetheless) and keep his job. Frankly, I'd have preferred if he'd had been shown the door right before Willingham. Anyway, this undoubtedly means the Husky faithful will only have to suffer one more year of Mr. Six-Iron, barring some [NAME REDACTED] like resurrection.
