And so it ends | by Pat

In a game that was a microcosm of the entire season, ND couldn't hold on to a lead once again and a season with such high hopes ends at a miserable 6-6. In the next few days Notre Dame will officially fire Charlie and for the fourth time this decade we will see rumors, gossip, public denials, and media speculation fly until someone steps behind the podium in the Gug as Notre Dame's 15th head coach.

To those running this search, all I can say is good luck, and don't screw it up.
