His best player on the World Series team was five foot nothing baseball star. Some teams just have the will to win regardless of talent and you cannot underestimate Marnier's ability as a coach. From the outside it appears Notre Dame is not too concerned about baseball. Notre Dame baseball has a relatively small fan base so Swarbrick probably catches little heat regarding their performance. Notre Dame is satisfied to field a somewhat competitive team. Neither Murphy nor Marnier had temperaments to just be competitive, they wanted to win it all.
