Notre Dame has had great recruiting every year up until Willingham's second season, where they fell into the late top 25 and then last season, which was arguably the worst recruiting class in notre dame history. Bob Davie recruited nearly every player in Willingham's first class. And Davie never had a bad recruiting year. In terms of offensive philosophy, Willingham is barely less conservative than Bob Davie was. Instead of run run pass punt, it's now run screen screen punt. What ND needs is an agressive coach who plays to win instead of playing not to lose. And we need someone who actually understands offense - like an Urban Meyer, John Gruden, etc. Hell I'd take Randy Walker from northwestern over Willingham.
