Notre Dame aide shaves head to protest Willingham's firing

Now that is a conviction. Let's hope ND never wins another one.

"The assistant to Notre Dame's president shaved her head to protest Tyrone Willingham's firing as football coach, saying she will remain bald until the Irish win a national championship.

"Because when we do, that will be justification for some people of why we fired Tyrone Willingham,'' Chandra Johnson said. "Not for me, but for some people.''


Johnson, 50, assistant to the Rev. Edward A. Malloy, Notre Dame's president, said she shaved her head last Saturday. Johnson, the school's highest-profile black administrator, told the South Bend Tribune she was shocked at the firing of Willingham -- the first black head coach in any sport at Notre Dame. "
