Rockne: The Head Coach, Part One (1918-1920)

In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the exhilarating, unpredictable early years of Knute Rockne’s tenure as head coach of the Notre Dame football team. Rockne, a man of boundless energy and relentless ambition, wasted no time in making his mark—but his path to glory was anything but smooth. As we’ll uncover, his first seasons at the helm weren’t just about X’s and O’s; they were about managing personalities, navigating crises, and proving his mettle in a multitude of ways.

Hosted by Alex Painter, a Notre Dame fan and historian. You can listen to Alex’s Notre Dame football podcast, “Onward to Victory,” on any podcasting service.

This podcast is presented by The History Museum of South Bend, Indiana, and is possible through the generous sponsorship of Andy and Tina Nickle.
