Alvarez?

[The Polish Irishman]

There is a rumor going around about Swarbrick meeting with Barry Alvarez. Anyone heard about this? Could just be a meeting of two ADs, but Alvarez does have ND ties.

On a side note, I have meet Barry a couple of time in Florida and dude has the biggest chest I have ever seen. Nice guy.

Eh. . . Don't think so. Just a gut feeling, I have no idea.

if this is true, which i doubt...i imagine it would be in some sort of consultant capacity.

... which is nothing more that "Unsubstantiate truth with no discernible source"!!!

I would welcome Barry Alvarez in as head coach. His success with Wisconsin is very well documented, and it'd be great to have a member of the Holtz coaching tree back on the sidelines. That being said, I agree, I think if it came about at all it'd be as a consultant or some type of administrative position. But, we can always hope...

He's not leaving WI. He's treated like a god up there.

However, his opinion carries a lot of weight and ND is in a tight spot about what to do with buyouts, Charlie's pride, severe lack of production, etc.

We had a coach from the Holtz era two years ago...Rick Minter

 

[mooneytostle]

he's 61 years old. I could be wrong but I have a hard time believing he wants to get back into coaching given his current gig at UW

bring back Lou! he can die on the sidelines who cares. you know he'll do what's needed to right the ship. sorry guys, i'm living in the past.

I'd rather see him give input on our defense instead of blitz-boy....we missed our chance at having him as head coach unfortunately.

no comparison, IMO

bring back Lou!

no thanks...his playcalling became completely predictable near the end and I think it was part of his downfall.

What downfall was that? He went 9-3(1995) and 8-3(1996) in his last two seasons.

sadly, that was a downfall back then. today it would be a welcome change

But let's not forget that, technically, Holtz left of his own accord.

no argument here, just sayin those were disappointing years back then
