A thing about being a Notre Dame fan, especially one who covers the team closely, is the program is in constant evaluation. It’s absolutely season to season, but also month to month and often week to week. Where is the program going? Are they getting closer? Are they “back”? This is largely how it’s been since Lou Holtz resigned in 1996. The Notre Dame football program has been trying to get back to the late 80’s and early 90’s era when they were a national power, year after year, and always in the national championship conversation. The thing is, none of the coaches immediately who followed Holtz knew how to get there.
