Parseghian’s legacy felt on and off the field
Notre Dame is rich in college football culture. Between “Touchdown Jesus”, the “Play Like a Champion” sign, Notre Dame Stadium and the famed Rudy, few schools in the nation can match the tradition South Bend boasts.
A building block of Notre Dame football was Coach Ara Parseghian, who led the Fighting Irish to a pair of National Titles during his time with the program. However, the roots of Coach Parseghian can be traced to Oxford, Ohio, where Parseghian played for Miami and went on to be the head coach of his alma mater before moving on to Northwestern and eventually Notre Dame.
