Getslow Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I honestly had no idea he was still alive. RIP. Same here. Hadn't been in coaching since 1974 and had been completely retired since the 1980s. RIP, coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatz Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Never have liked Notre Dame. However had a lot of love for Ara when he was a color announcer for ABC and College Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Saw an interesting stat that he never lost the Notre Dame/Northwestern game. He was 4-0 against the Fighting Irish when he was at Northwestern and was 9-0 against the Wildcats when he was at Notre Dame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Played and coached at "The Cradle Of Coaches"...Miami OH. He was the skipper at Notre Dame in one of its most golden eras. Great mind for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
