To RZ's credit, he set up Urban Meyer with player talent that could rival anyone in the nation. It's the reason when Meyer was comparing the ND/UF jobs, his dad famously advised that "he could win sooner in Flordia" With a national championship in his 2nd year, the results obviously speak for themselves. Though I think Weis is the better long term hire for ND (he's an ND guy and isn't going anywhere whereas UM may have used the job as a stepping stone) it's impossible not to wonder how UM would be doing at this stage of the game at ND.

Yeah no one that knows anything about college football is going to deny that Zook left the cupboard full of talent for Meyer. But his head coaching left something to be desired. As for how UM may have done at ND, I dont follow ND football close enough to know. But he does have some serious coaching chops, look at what he did before he came to Florida.

BTW Navy has to be psyched that this could be the year Notre Dame's 38 (?) game win streak may end...given this season's debacle and my service academy affiliation I may end up cheering for you guys.

I'm cautiously optimistic..certainly if there were ever a year to do it, it might this year. Of course the pessimist in me says that ND might just use Navy as an outlet for their frustrations this year, it might be more likely to beat them in a good year when their guard is down. But based on what I've seen of ND this season (which isnt much) Army has a chance. And FWIW, I always root for the other service academies when they arent playing Navy.
