I Didn't Do It

So you're president of the university, but you have no say in the decision to fire the football coach. Pleeeeaaaasssseeee.

NEW YORK -- Notre Dame president Rev. Edward Malloy said Wednesday he was upset that his university fired Irish football coach Tyrone Willingham last week.

"In my 18 years, there has only been two days that I've been embarrassed to be president of Notre Dame: Tuesday and Wednesday of last week," said Malloy, speaking during a panel discussion at the Sports Business Journal's Intercollegiate Athletics Forum.

In his three seasons as Notre Dame coach, Willingham compiled a 21-15 record. Malloy said he was not part of the decision-making process because he will retire in June.
