I don't know if you are following the Notre dame coaches search, but ND has been granted permission to interview Ty Willingham, Stanford's head coach. Each year he has been on the short list of college coaches considered for the NFL ranks, and the only college coach, aside from Oregon's, on the Notre Dame short list. Do you think he is only being looked at because of the issues concerning black head coaches, or do you think he has a legitimate shot at this job. I mean if ND hires a black head coach, imagine the doors it will open for others. Not to mention if he turns the program around like he has Stanford.
Now..I believe that he has a legitimate shot. As I said earlier, he is one of the few college coaches that is up for NFL jobs on a yearly bases....usually he has to remove his name from consoderation for these jobs, so he is a hot coaching commodity. Plus it is prime time for recruiting, which means that ND needs to hire a coach quick!! With the NFL coahes they want still with 5 more games to play, and Gruden especially with a legitimate Super Bowl shot, has to help Ty Will's chances. Also, coming from Satnford would seem like an advantage to me. He has insight into the type of players he can recruit. With Stanford having the same academic issues as ND, when it comes to recruiting football players.
