Don't keep swapping them out, it's hard for players to develop otherwise.. Bob Davie, his replacement, would last less than half Lou's time, only five years.Tyrone Willingham? Three.Kent Baer? One.What would be next.....two games?No....Charlie Weis, fresh from the Patriots coaching staff, stepped into the picture.His first two seasons were an interesting mix, of plays, creative gameplans, and a lot of work, by Brady Quinn, now of the Cleveland Browns.However, his third season, after Quinn's departure, wasn't so hot.The team limped to a 3-9 record...and Notre Dame, to this date, hasn't won a Bowl game since the Cotton Bowl, January 1st, 1994.So, we've had multiple Coaches, some decent players, and a dry spell.Solution? Keep the coach around, to develop his players. Being before the days of the internet, i'd go to the library, and study the football history, and discovered how much of a legacy had gone on in South Bend.But, like all teams do, they have ups, and they have downs.By 1996, Lou Holtz had reached the end of his coaching stint, and the team would go in a new direction. This was the time of Lou Holtz, with players like Brown, Ismail, and Tony Rice.

Part of this, of course, can be blamed on Tim Brown.When I started following football in High School, I also started to follow college football....and being from South Dakota, where we don't have any major Schools (NAIA Affiliates), I started to watch the Notre Dame games.

That being said, he is a gifted player who will bring a whole new dimension to the offense.. He will get only a handful of meaningful snaps per game and when he does he will likely be picking up 3-5 yard first downs on speed option plays. Washington is a more vertical threat and Sanzenbacher is a possession receiver in the mold of Anthony Gonzalez.QB, Terelle Pryor (Fr.): Terelle Pryor!!! Ok, settle down everyone. The only things holding him back from great passing numbers are the Buckeyes defense and Beanie Wells: he simply isn't in games long enough to compile the counting stats.Offensive Sleepers:WR, Taurian Washington (So.) and Wr, Dane Sanzenbacher (So.): They could emerge as the slot receivers and make a lot of big catches down-field.

He has the arm and the experience, he needs to turn it into production. Now he needs to prove that his late season performances last year were a fluke. Coupled with a superb and experienced O-line he is a Heisman favorite and is aiming to become only the 14th player to amass 2,000 yards in a season.QB, Todd Boeckman (Sr.)He is going to be the difference between a good and great team All the pieces he needs to succeed are around him. Should be a finalist for the Thorpe award and a pre-season All-American too.Defensive Sleepers:DE, Lawrence Wilson (Sr.): Hurt all of last year, but he was supposed to be the main guy on the D-line last year....not Vernon Gholston...who ended up going #6 overall.S, Kurt Coleman (Jr.): Should finally lose the stone-hands that made him miss interceptions last year and turn into the impact safety the Bucks haven't had since Donte Whitner.OFFENSERB, Chris "Beanie" Wells (Jr.)The identity of the OSU offense and a classic Big Ten bruiser in the backfield He can run around and through people. He will probably continue to see some time back there this season, but with both safeties returning, he will play corner more Expect him to blanket the go-to receiver every game. Due to good depth at CB, and middling safety play, he was moved into a free safety role at times. He keys the entire defense, but will need to count on solid DT play to free himself up to make plays.CB, Malcolm Jenkins (Sr.)A shut-down corner that was thrown away from most of last season.
