Edit: he lied on his personal biography about having lettered in football at New Hampshire (he didn't) and this apparently pissed off ND enough that he is resigning as their coach. His statement:

"Due to a selfish and thoughtless act many years ago, I have personally embarrassed Notre Dame, its alumni and fans. The integrity and credibility of Notre Dame is impeccable and with that in mind, I will resign my position as head football coach effective December 13, 2001."

Uhhhh......DOH!! His career is over; ND booted him and GTech sure as hell isn't gonna want him back.

NFL maybe? Indianapolis? ;)

George O'Leary resigned as Notre Dame football coach less than a week after being hired, admitting he lied about playing the game in college in his personal biography.

"Due to a selfish and thoughtless act many years ago, I have personally embarrassed Notre Dame, its alumni and fans," O'Leary said in a statement released by the school Friday.

O'Leary never earned a letter playing football at New Hampshire even though his biography says he earned three. In fact, he never played in a game.

O'Leary sucks anyways, he has no integrity, even before this. His team was supposed to be a national contender, where are they this year? 7-5 and in the Seattle Bowl. If you thought O'Leary was anything but trash, read this article.

Yeah, this was a shock to me. I heard about it this morning right after one of my finals. I think there may be more to the story, but I guess Father Maloy will be off looking for yet another new coach. I wonder if O'Leary or GTech will get to keep their money? We (ND) had to buy out O'Leary's contract from GTech, and then gave him a wad of cash. I doubt he'll get to keep his money, but I wonder if GTech will get to keep theirs. Doesn't seem fair, but then again the alumni are loaded, so I guess it doesn't really impact me at all, especially since I pay no tuition...

Now I'm rambling...
