Gerry Faust still cheers, cheers for Notre Dame
The voice is raspy but the enthusiasm unflinching.
Gerry Faust is fully engaged.
The former Notre Dame coach, famously plucked from the high school coaching ranks to lead the most storied program in college football, may have crashed and burned on the job more than two decades ago, the Fighting Irish tumbling into a five-season run of mediocrity under his guidance, but what an experience!
“Wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world,” Faust, 73, fairly bellows from his home in Fairlawn, Ohio, a suburb of Akron. “If I had the opportunity to do it again and knew the results would be the same, I’d do it again in a minute.
“I love Notre Dame and I loved coaching there.”
