Dan Devine is coming off a turbulent first year as the Notre Dame head football coach. In an interview with ScholaStic on" April 12, ,Devine discussed last season and the coming season in detail. In the process the head coach reveals m~ch about his personality and attitudes.

Scholastic: Last year much of the season was plagued drafted [Ed Bauer was a red-shirt and ,belonged to the and I can't keep up with what he says, he gets me lost.' by rumors of team problems.
