Last Saturday, Notre Dame beat the No. 1 team in the country, and I want to be very clear that this deserves the whole post.
The Irish ran out to a 21-point lead and held on to beat No. 1 Miami 31-24 in South Bend, with CJ Carr throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns. It handed the Hurricanes their first loss of the season. It was Notre Dame’s first win over a No. 1 team in exactly six years. Luke Talich sealed it by knocking the ball away on a late fourth down pass. notre dame holds off no 1 miami 31 24 as cj carr throws for 319 yards and three touchdowns +3
Now consider who it was against. Miami beat Notre Dame 27-24 in the 2025 opener, a loss that ultimately cost the Irish in the playoff picture. Notre Dame was also edged out by the Hurricanes for the last College Football Playoff bid. Miami went on to play for the national championship. I am still bitter about how that selection went, and I can tell you that beating them in our own stadium made the wait worth it. It was monumental on every front. notre dame football news fans storm field rock you like a hurricane scores win miami +2
The Irish don’t get to celebrate for long. Boston College visits Notre Dame on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC. The Eagles are 4-5 and Notre Dame is a 30.5 point favorite. That should be easy, and that is exactly why it’s dangerous. Sports Illustratedsportschatplace
In 2002, an 8-0 Notre Dame team hosted Boston College, fumbled seven times, lost five of them, and fell 14-7. The talent was fine. The focus after the big moment was not. Sports Illustrated
I see the same thing in searches. Everyone celebrates when the finalist says yes, and then the real risk begins. A counteroffer arrives, a competing opportunity shows up, or the team relaxes and stops selling the role. A great win doesn’t finish the job. The follow through does.
What do you do between the accepted offer and day one to make sure the hire actually shows up?
Go Irish!
