The 1943 Fighting Irish won the National Championship with a record of 9-1. It was the first National Championship for Head Coach Frank Leahy but would not be his last. Leahy and the Irish would go on a run that would be interrupted by a stint in the Navy where they won four National Championships in a five year coaching span. Many call it the most successful run by any collegiate coach ever. This framed black and white 16x20 team portrait comes complete with a name plate black and white matting and a black frame.
