I really can't understand the fascination with Urban Meyer, if this was indeed the reason for the firing. Yes he's had success at Utah and Bowling Green, and yes he was a Notre Dame assistant. However, Willingham was having solid success on the field and off it with his recruiting; I just don't see how Meyer could be that much of an improvement.

As I understand it, the feeling at ND was that Willingham did not get the whole "ND" thing. USC had this problem with every coach between Larry Smith and Pete Carroll as well. Its about a certain kind of traidition within programs like USC and Notre Dame and if the coach does not buy into the whole hoopla, it can make for a rough time while there.
Now Urban Meyer on the other hand, is considered to be a ND kind of guy. And I heard he has a clause in his contract with Utah that allows him out if Notre Dame comes calling.
