There were some interesting things coming out, and once everything plays out, I think people will have a better idea of why things were done and the way they were done. Now, if they turn out not to be true, I think it's fair to say Notre Dame is acting just like everyone else. If you don't win then you have to go. But that can't be the case because I believe Bob Davie's record was basically the same after three years. I don't believe that is the case. I think that when everything is played out over the next couple months, maybe people will have a better idea of what's going on if these things turn out to be true.
