Leahy, Parseghian, and Devine never coached elsewhere. Neither did Layden, who didn't win a NC, but who had a .770 W/L %. Rockne, obviously, never had the chance to coach elsewhere.

Except for Holtz, the general rule of thumb has been that ND was a destination job for successful HC's. Except for Brennan, the general rule of thumb has been that unsuccessful ND HC's took another shot and were even more unsuccessful than they were at ND.

EDIT: I looked up Anderson, who, previously unbeknownst to me, coached at NC State for 3 years, where he went 11-17-1--including 3-7 in his last year there.
