Dump Davie the Sequel Part 3

As you may have guessed from the previous Fanmail post, I was responsible for getting Bob Davie fired in 2001 (although it pained me to do so since our 2001 team had a 100% graduation rate. Go education!). I also started the "Whack Willingham" and the "Get the Genius" campaigns. Basically I am behind the past three Notre Dame coaching changes (except George O'Leary; he resigned before I could get "Oust O'Leary" off the ground).

With the Genius firmly entrenched in South Bend indefinitely (Seriously, his feet sunk into the ground last week after eating too much at the Chef's Table), I turned my latest "fire the coach" efforts to one of our opponents - John L. Smith. While you may think it was because of Smith's gross incompetence and his inability to field a consistent team throughout the season that got him fired, in reality, it was that latest loss to the Irish, AND ME, that did him in.

Why John L. Smith? Simple. Michigan State is our rival and they suck (although compared to the rest of 1-A teams, they are pretty amazing). Having one of our rivals be terrible does not really help our strength of schedule, although the rest of our rivals have been so good this season that it hasn't hurt us that much. With Smith gone, the Spartans will finally be able to field a team capable of giving us 58 minutes of competition (in the final two minutes of the game, they will purposely throw an interception for a touchdown or have all their defenders lie down out of respect for our dominance). This will pay great dividends for the next 10 years, as Notre Dame will have THE toughest schedule of all time. Go Green/Go White!
