Get out the polish
Notre Dame has started to rebuild its tarnished reputation by hiring one of its own and, from what I hear, a generally good guy and a darn good football coach, Charlie Weis. Best of luck to him, except when he is playing the Trojans.
Another program got out the polish as well this weekend as the University of Washington hired recently deposed Irish head man, Tyrone Willingham. I'll wish him only a little luck since he landed in the same conference as the Trojans! He's another good man who, fortunately, has landed on his feet. Unfortunately, that is not always true in this business.
I would not be justified in slamming Stanford for hiring Walt Harris, but it seems like Norm Chow just cannot bet a break (and Kentucky is not a break).
