Just So We Win
In his five years at Notre Dame, young (30) Terry Brennan won 32 games out of 50, six out of ten in the current season. But it was not enough; he was fired and replaced by Joe Kuharich, 41, a Notre Dame alumnus, professional lineman and coach of the none-too-successful Washington Redskins. The decision outraged many a Notre Dame supporter. Snapped the Catholic and Record, weekly organ of the Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis: "The firing of Terry Brennan is a setback for the priests and laymen who are trying to remake the public image of Notre Dame from football factory to first class university. How will they ease the suspicion that a lot of Notre Dame supporters--including some wealthy donors--don't care whether classes are held or not, just so Notre Dame wins on Saturdays?"
