BREAKING: Lou Holtz To Rejoin Notre Dame as Athletic Administrator
Yes! As many of our readers know, we fired former Notre Dame Athletic Administrator Kevin White ages ago, but the University elected not to hire a replacement. Until now! And oh, what a replacement!
The University of Notre Dame has announced that former Head Football Coach Lou Holtz has been hired as the university’s athletic director. Holt’z tenure will begin immediately.
Holtz lead the Fighting Irish football team to a National Championship in 1988. He was also named National Coach of the Year in 1977 and 1988. During his collegiate coaching career, Hotlz compiled a record of 249-132-7, good for 8th all time by wins in Division 1-A.
Holtz will be replacing Dr. Kevin White, who has stepped down from the position in order to be more active in the city of Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympic games.
(Story Developing…)
Obviously there will be a ton of media attention on this story as dorks all over the media and internet postulate that this must mean the end is near for the Charlie Weis era if Weis does not bring the football team back up to par. I really prefer not to think about that right now. It’s true that Lou will serve as a very strong presence within the AD office - one that is capable of firing a Charlie Weis if need be, but it’s clear that Notre Dame is more concerned with having an AD that “gets it.” We already know Weis “gets it.” The problem was Kevin White didn’t “get it.” Luckily the Chicago 2016 campaign is really heating up. It’s one of the few things in the sporting world “bigger” than ND football - at least to Kevin White. Still, I hope he didn’t so much “step down” as he did “catch himself after being tossed to the curb.”
Welcome back, Lou!

And yes, I realize this was a lame joke. I don’t see April Fool’s Day as the holiday where you should set out to fool everyone. I see it as the day where you should go about identifying the fools, patting them on the back, and buying them a “beer.”
This slides beyond joke into heartbreaking and tantalizing. (sigh)
I think it ruled. But then, I am entertained by the lamest things in the world, so I’m not a great barometer.

Oh, I liked it. It’s just that I like it better than reality.
I love your website, but I hate you guys for this. Two things you never joke about is your faith and Notre Dame football
Tim,
If we don’t laugh now, we’ll just cry. And daddy drinks because we cry.
Earlire this morning, I knew it was April Fools Day. …THAT’S ALL…
Domer,
I guess you are right, I did a lot of crying last year and humour may get us through. I am just chaoked at being had and had I was.
