Bob Davie Will Not Return to Coach Against Notre Dame

Bob Davie was set to coach his first game in Notre Dame Stadium since being fired following the 2001 season in two weeks. After suffering a “serious medical incident” last weekend though, Davie has decided against making the trip to South Bend in two weeks.

Davie released the following statement today:

“While I will be around next week and involved, I have decided to not make the trip to South Bend for our September 14 game with Notre Dame.

After receiving advice from my doctors and wife, I wanted to make this decision now so our team and coaching staff could go into the weekend with clarity and consistency.
