Poll incoming.
Who doesn't remember the dark day when our beloved coach GOL was offered his dream job to become the next (of what would be a veritable revolving door) coach of the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish?
He was at the peak of his profession. He had become of of the most respected coaches in all of college football. And was certainly the man most likely to be able to recreate the dynasty established by Lou Holtzsch and destroyed by Bill Lewis, er, Bob Davies.
But oh to dream about what could have been.
So, assuming that GOL didn't have a few little white lies hidden amongst the boilerplate text on his football resume (and really, did any of us even know that coaches had to have resumes?), how many national titles would O'Leary have in his trophy case from 2002 to 2014?
The silver lining of this action is that Notre Dame has become cursed themselves by their action taken against one of our favorite coaches, and have been awash in a sea of mediocrity for the past 15+ years. Even as Kelly brought them through an undefeated season in 2012, the cruel fate of the curse reared its ugly head in that national championship game as the Irish were pounded into the ground by that SEC speed.
