In the past 7 years of being on the recruiting trail, I have never seen KC at an event....seen Byrne many of times.
as mentioned on another thread, corrigan built the lacrosse program. they were doing things before byrne arrived. his connections no doubt got him the gig, but if you weren't around then -- notre dame, while big then in national name for football, was a fringe club program basically. it wasn't a coveted job.
they have been a regular top contender before and after byrne.
that's given them resources made available to them, not vice versa.
byrne has been given a lot of latitude to run the defense.
their players get a pretty good experience outside of lacrosse as well-- travel, employment opportunities and networks tapped.
to pontificate on the future ---
they'll probably still be able to get a recruit or 2.
they'll likely be able to speak to a couple decent defensive coordinators.
not sure anyone is a fan of kc's sideline demeanor. can be a very different guy off the field than what you see on teevee. i'd be willing to bet a lot of players would be in his corner, if not posters on fanlax.
Yeah, they're gonna hire the long time assistant of the guy they just fired; still "in the know" people were actually believing this due to the fact that Wellner was still recruiting!! How about he was still under contract and it was his job??!!! OR, that he may have been able to stay on staff with the new HC(which apparently he could have, per Amplo). Yet many people actually thought he had a chance as head coach...man, these threads are entertaining...about as impartial as Fox News!
