Another Grad Says No to the Notre Dame AD Job

—

During yesterday's announcement of Notre Dame extending their contract with NBC to televise their home football games, President John Jenkins briefly discussed the current search for their new athletic director: "I think what's most important is that the athletic director understands Notre Dame football," Jenkins said.

NBC Sticking With The Irish Through 2015

The Year Of The Transition
domersportsreport.blogspot.com 6/23/2008 — Notre Dame finished the 2007 with victories over bottom feeders Duke and Stanford. Those two wins do not translate to the Irish becoming a juggernaut this upcoming season, but the Irish should swing its record more than 180 degrees due to the nature of College Football: opponents undergoing transition years.

Notre Dame to Honor Lou Holtz with Statue before the Michigan Game — Sport Syndicate

A Nearly Prediction Free Look At The 2008 Notre Dame Football Opponents - November — Rakes Of Mallow

This is going to be rather light on predictions, but when we reach the "Rough Estimate of the Expected Difficulty of Game" section, I have to sort of guess where this Notre Dame team is going to be.
