He Never Got "IT" @ ND -- Maybe New Mexico?

ESPN college football analyst Bob Davie has accepted the head coaching position at the University of New Mexico.  Davie, who took over for Lou Holtz at Notre Dame -- hasn't been on the sidelines since he's departure from South Bend in 2001. 

Here's why I'm sure he took the job at New Mexico:
  • No expectations to win
  • The NCAA won't be watching him as closely in Albuquerque
  • He takes them to a bowl and he'll have his own statue

It's going to be fun to see if Lou Holtz ever comments on Bob Davie's coaching acumen...

Here's some of the media coverage:
