RIP Ara Parseghian

[Michchamp]

he was 94.

lead ND to two national titles.

had a long, tough career... as a HC at Northwestern, he and his assistant Bo Schembechler endured a 0-9 season. Bo noted the achievement because Parseghian achieved it without blaming anyone else, and managed to hold the team together despite losing each week. Bo called it "the best job of coaching [he] had ever witnessed.

he bounced back with a 5-4 season the next year.

Michigan never played Notre Dame during the Ara era.


The teams hadn't played each other for decades before.

I'll always remember Ara for leading Notre Dame to that epic 10-10 tie over MSU when he had the ball and time and ran out the clock.
