I hate to see anyone die at the age of 61. But as an ND fan, my memory of John Saunders is him saying that Notre Dame was a racist institution because they fired Ty Willingham without giving him a full five years. I remember him saying that U of Washington administrators were geniuses for grabbing Ty when he became available and that he would soon have them on the right track. The bottom line is that Ty didn't recruit. He thought that is what assistant coaches were for. After he drove Washington down to an 0-12 season, I stopped hearing Saunders talk about what a great coach he was. It's probably petty of me to drag this up, but he hated ND and loved it every time we lost during 2006 and 2007.
