Abstract "Frank Leahy played under the immortal Knute Rockne. After graduation he left Notre Dame and distinguished himself as a coach. In 1941 he returned to his Alma Mater and served as head coach of Notre Dame from 1941-1953, establishing a record of eighty-seven victories, eleven defeats, and nine ties - an achievement that has enhanced the pride and tradition of Our Lady's school.
