Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick has been in his current position for about a year and a half, but is already displaying a lack of self-awareness commensurate with the most seasoned of bureaucrats. Choice tidbits from Monday evening’s post-Weis-firing press conference include favorable comparisons to the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys, straight-faced reassurances that Weis is concerned about Swarbrick’s emotional state, and this gem:

↵You know, Charlie did win a National Championship; he won a National Championship when his football program finished first in graduation success rate this year, and that is an important contribution and one which we value very highly.
↵Not highly enough, apparently. But fear not:
↵And as we go out now and begin our search, that is our focus, in finding the right individual to lead Notre Dame back to a place of prominence in college football.
↵News to you: Notre Dame’s already in a place of prominence in college football, but unlike the Yankees Swarbrick’s so eager to invoke, the Irish don’t have the talent or coaching acumen to back up their inescapable ubiquity. And that, gentle reader, is why everyone hates them.
