about Faust's kindnesses to strangers, etc., to not question their validity in the broadest sense.
But I also heard -- and still hear, from time to time -- too many stories of Faust not only being incompetent, which is no sin, but of lambasting players and assistants alike. He was notorious for blaming everybody but himself, and was very petty in his treatment of people around him, including long-time assistants who were allegedly close friends.
So I've reached this conclusion: He was so overwhelmed by the demands of the position, both on and off the field, that many of his good characteristics were buried while he was Notre Dame's head coach, because there were far too many occasions when he did not act like a man of character and integrity.
