by all accounts other than yours, the women's lacrosse team was stagnating while the game itself was taking quantum leaps forward nationally. ND made a move in an attempt to upgrade the program before the train left the station. You didn't care for the hire--we all get that. You didn't care for the way that Coyne was dismissed--we get that too. That said, do you think it was a move out of spite by Swarbrick or was it an effort (however misplaced in your opinion) to upgrade a program to keep pace with other programs and a game that was growing logarithmically nationally? The problem with many of these jobs--coaching, AD etc.--is that you perform your job in front of 300 million folks many of whom have strong opinions on just how you did it wrong and how it could be done better.

I don't think Swarbrick is infallible but on balance I have no complaints about the way things have gone. Now, if Volleyball and Baseball continue in their current state and there is no change made we can revisit this.
