The Passing of a Legend, Ara Parseghian

Related Topics: Ara Parseghian

This week a Notre Dame legend and icon passed away. Coach Ara Parseghian entered into eternal rest. Coach Parseghian was a two-time National Champion coach during his tenure at Notre Dame. He won his second National Championship when I was a mere 1.5 years old. Though I never got a chance to watch Coach Parseghian do his thing on the field at Notre Dame, there are many stories that make him a legend. Coach Parseghian is linked to the “Holy Trinity” along with Coach Knute Rockne and Coach Frank Leahy.
