The Notre Dame/Kevin White marriage is finally over, and it's probably best for both parties. Let's review the recent history:
* White hires George O'Leary, only to discover that he lied on his resume. This lead to...
* Tyrone Willingham was hired instead. The first black head coach at ND.
* After three Willingham seasons (10-3, 5-7, 6-5: he was fired before ND's 6th loss to Oregon State in the Insight.com Bowl), the Notre Dame president and board of trustees decided to do White's job for him (against White's wishes) and fire Tyrone Willingham.
* White then failed to hire Urban Meyer (former ND assistant), who took the job at Florida.
* After again missing on his first choice, Notre Dame then hired Charlie Weis, who in his 3rd season lead the Irish to their worst record ever in 2007.

I'd call it a Win for White. The whole Lacrosse scandal is over (with Duke coming up smelling like relative roses next to Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong), he will have basketball on cruise-control with Coach K, and if the football team wins more than a game or two each year, the folks in Durham should be happy.
