The world of college football is filled with homers — perhaps more so than any other sport. We love our teams, and they can do no wrong. We often feel like nobody gives our Notre Dame football team the respect it deserves.
But have you ever thought about praising other programs and coaches?
I asked a couple of our writers to sound off on some of the programs and coaches on the 2018 Notre Dame football schedule and talk about which ones they have the most respect for.
Here’s what they had to say:
Sonny Martinez
Coach: Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern
Fitzgerald has been in charge of the Wildcats for 12 years now, and what he’s accomplished there has been phenomenal with 8 winning seasons and three 10-win campaigns.
