Gerry Faust coached the Fighting Irish for four years. He was Dan Devine’s replacement, and
expectations were high given that he had an incredibly impressive record coaching the Moeller High
School football team. In 19 seasons with Moeller, Faust garnered a staggering 174 wins, with only 17
losses, and 2 ties.
Another reason Notre Dame fans were excited was that Faust would have nine of his former players
from Moeller in the Fighting Irish. Many of the Notre Dame faithful thought that their chemistry in high

Faust never really met the expectations of Notre Dame fans. His success was both limited and
mediocre. In his first year as coach, Faust managed to lead the Irish to a dismal 5-6 record. The
following season would see only a slight change, with Notre Dame finishing at 6-4-1. His third and
fourth years though were better as his team finished with a 7-5 record for both years. In 1983, he
would lead Notre Dame to the Liberty Bowl, and the Aloha Bowl the following year.
After a crushing defeat at the hands of Miami (58-7), Faust retired and moved to Akron where he
became head coach.
Tom Colton here, a student at the University of Notre Dame. It almost goes without saying that I’m a
huge fan of Fighting Irish football. More Notre Dame football reads here.
