Frank Leahy is a man I admire. He was right. Anything worth having you have to be willing to pay the price for. I share that with my pro racers and all my fitness clients.
Leahy revealed later that his health was fine and that the real reason he left ND was because he was no longer wanted. Essentially, Fr. Hesburgh made it known that, "This town ain't big enough for the both of us." ND had become a football factory and Hesburgh was determined to put a end to it.
When you have a good coach who teaches football correctly and is also a model and you have the Catholic Faith at that institution where everybody's pretty much on the same page with the feeder system from the Catholic high schools that they used to have with kids that had their heads squarely on their shoulders and knew what they were about, then you could produce championship teams year after year. Now Kelly has to deal with kids, even the good ones, that sometimes have shit between their ears and he has to clear that out and start over. Then he has to deal with a "Catholicism" that is modernist and relative and liberal with the acceptance of abortion "rights" and "gay rights", etc. No wonder they are struggling. Let's pray ND becomes truly Catholic again.
Does anyone know of any clips of Leahy that have him speaking? I'm a lifelong Notre Dame fan, but all I've ever heard are players quoting or impersonating him. There is video with sound of Rockne, so you would thing there has to be footage with audio of Leahy.
47????He looked like he was closing in on 60! The game took a real toll on the man. The pressure to win at ND is overwhelming and it beats up even the best of em. Ara went through and so did Dan Devine...
my Grandad. Thank you, from all of his grandchildren. A man to love and honor infinitely.

Notre Dame was awesome back then I hope they can do that again.
It’s all over now. Hurts so much to say that but it’s true
JOHN FACENDA!! Philly's Finest!!

I don't think Fr. Hesburgh was as good for ND as advertised.
Indeed. A true successor after Rockne.

Here's one. Only for a few seconds, but it's Leahy speaking after meeting President Eishenhower in Colorado in 1954.

Leahy was only 45 when he left Notre Dame, only 64 when he passed away in 1973.
What year is this? My dad played for him 1951, 1952 ,1953,1954. I wonder if he's in a clip.
Back when a man was a man and a woman was a woman
Better than Rockne
