The reason that I put 3 National Championships is due to the fact that the University of Notre Dame only recognizes the three championships under Knute Rockne. And I documented that in my edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sullivan9211 (talk • contribs) 10:00, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Leahy has a statement that one of Leahy's famous Quotes has been attributed to Rockne in his book. As I am unable to check that fact (do not have the book) - maybe someone can and if true then the Quote "Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity" could make the article a bit more informative — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.126.110.89 (talk) 09:12, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Find [was the] and remove- Coincidentally, Jess Harper, a friend of Rockne's and who [was the] coach Rockne had replaced at Notre Dame, lived about 100 miles (160 km) from the spot of the crash. 65.124.223.98 (talk) 23:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
