Ty's Out at ND

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Coach Tyrone Willingham was fired by Notre Dame on Tuesday after three seasons in which he failed to return one of the nation's most storied football programs to prominence.

Willingham had a record of 21-15, including 6-5 this season. The Fighting Irish lost 41-10 to No. 1 Southern California on Saturday.

I think Notre Dame made a courageous move in hiring Willingham as the first black head coach to lead the Irish. Now, I think they've made a courageous move in firing an underachieving coach. His last two seasons have been awful, and there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
