Noticeable Bias[edit]

The part about Faust game against Miami needs to be re-done. It reeks of notre dame homerism. The person who wrote ti clearly ignores the fact that the hurricanes were a much better team and attributes the beating to "giving up" while the hurricanes continued to play hard, and make Faust appear as some type of saint because he shook Jimmy Johnson's hand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:Contributions/{[[User:{146.201.176.139 (talk · contribs)|{146.201.176.139 (talk · contribs)]] ([[User talk:{146.201.176.139 (talk · contribs)|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/{146.201.176.139 (talk · contribs)|contribs]] · [https://tools.wmflabs.org/whois/gateway.py?lookup=true&ip={146.201.176.139 (talk · contribs)

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Gerry Faust/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The Faust Error is not only 20-20 hind sight, it isn't correct. The biggest problem he had at the Golden Dome was Steve Buerline who admitted, after leaving the school for a lack luster career in the NFL, that he had played hurt most of his time at Notre Dame and never told the coaches. If Faust errored it was in having to much faith in assistant coaches and several players who got chance after chance. The idea, an ESPN product mostly, that Faust is reviled at the University is a myth. He was and still is liked and respected there. Winning wasn't everything to him, trying to build character was. Remember, Holtz cut and ran under a cloud after gaining his championship-at-any-price.
