Tyrone Willingham will continue to be the butt of criticism for years to come. If people don't want to hear us make fun of him, PLUG YOUR EARS. Personally. he set Notre Dame back many years with recruiting. I know we have the players now, but that was before his recruiting dropped off. We are already seeing the Ty-effect, because we have no depth at any position besides WR. I hate Tyrone. I Hopefully, ND has learned a lesson out of this Tyrone experiment, never hire a coach not familar with the traditions of ND. He didn't even let RUDY address the team, for God sakes. Tyrone is a loser, and unfortunately for Washington, he brought his loser ways with him. He will continue to loose no matter where he goes, regardless of his talent.
I can agree with basically everyone who is posting about Ty or the one's who don't want to hear about it anymore.
Look, I am one of the biggest Ty haters there is. I can't stand to see him (with his one finger up in the air after a score), nor can I stand to listen to him talk (press conferences justifying every loss). I will be the first to say that the fact that he has gone elsewhere, and is failing miserably, kinda brings a smile to my face. BUT, the man is human and he WAS our coach through the good, bad, and ugly.
NOW, we are two weeks before the USC game (probably the biggest game of the year for us), and people are still harping onTy. You know what...let a dead dog sleep. We beat him at his new home with his old players. That is it. It's over. Enough is enough.
The future is bright at South Bend. We have kids coming in next year that we could not get under Ty. ND knows it, Charlie knows it, and yes...Ty knows it. I think that we should remember that he WAS one of us not so long ago. Yes, he almost drove the program into the ground. Yes, he got his balls handed to him year in and year out against USC. Yes, he lost the season opener to BYU last year. You know what, HE'S NOT OUR PROBLEM ANY MORE. Let the Admin. at WU worry about it.
I had my closure when we had more points than they did at the end of the game. Forget about Ty, and focus on the future.
I can't stand Ty, but he is the past. C-Dub is the future.
THE END
