Bob Davie had everything a football coach could want. He was at Notre Dame, which meant unlimited money, spotlight, TV exposure, money, local and national recruiting bases, money and movies. Oh, yeah, and money, too.
Yet Davie didn't win. Instead, he would be remembered as the guy who tore down Lou Holtz's program. Then he disappeared for 10 years, if you count ESPN analyst as disappearing from the coaching profession.
