RUMOR NO MORE: "Domer" Haywood HIRED!


There's a rumor on the web this morning that's "picking up steam" -- and it involves former Notre Dame student-athlete and the Offensive Coordinator during the Charlie Weis era -- Mike Haywood.

See link to blog post below...

Rumor has it -- that the University of Pittsburgh reached an agreement with Haywood, late last night, to become their next head football coach -- replacing Dave Wannstedt.

Haywood just finished his second year as a head coach, leading the Miami of Ohio RedHawks to a 9-4 record, a  Mid American Conference Championship -- and a spot in the GoDaddy.com Bowl -- after going 1-11 in his first season!!!  This was the "biggest turnaround"-- in number of wins -- in college football this year!   I'm also posting a nice story from the Sporting News -- about Haywood's impact on the RedHawks program and a video I found of Mike Haywood talking about his coaching philosophy. We'll keep you posted on this story...  ESPN'S JOE SCHAD -- JUST CONFIRMED HAYWOOD'S BEEN HIRED (7:14 PM EST) -- CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!  See link to his quick post:
