I have the privilege of working with Bob Quakenbush at the University of Notre Dame. Bob, a 1976 grad, wrote a book entitled "The Gipper's Ghost" nearly 30 years ago.
The story talks about a fictional coach, by the name of COACH KELLY, who in his third year coaching the IRISH would lead them to a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
You can't make this up!
Here's a link to the ABC-TV story on Bob and his book!
