He does.

And the OC's he preferred didn't want the job. That's how Alabama ended up with this guy.

And yeah, the guy has had enough talent to be more competitive than he's been. Let us not forget, Notre Dame is a program that recruits at an elite power five level yet plays a glorified group of five schedule.

This is a settle hire. Plain and simple.
