I guess my own thoughts parallel those in the article here.
The program Ty inherited was a complete and utter disaster. It is not surprising that it would take a long time to rebuild. I think it is clear that Ty can do it; he had succcess at Stanford and at ND, and Charlie Weis did well with the players that Ty recruited and trained at ND. Unless there is a complete collapse, an extension seems resonable. I think a lot of fans make the same mistake about coaches that most Americans seem to make about presidents: that one magic man can instantly turn things around. I think that is false.
Whew.
