...for the head coaching job at Notre Dame and Jack Swarbrick pulls out the standard five-year contract for you to sign, remember this: Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine and Lou Holtz all won the national championship in their third year. That will be your benchmark. It's the year when the clock starts ticking and the long knives begin to appear.
So understand what you're getting yourself into. Oh, and even if you win the national championship, your job may not be safe. Devine was run out of town three years after he won in 1977.
