A three-time letterwinner as quarterback at the University of Dayton, Faust went on to 18 spectacular seasons (1963-80) as head coach at Moeller High School in Cincinnati (Ohio) where he produced a 174-17-2 record that included seven unbeaten seasons, four mythical national prep titles and five Ohio state high school titles in his last six years. In five years at Notre Dame (1981-85), his 30-26-1 record included a 1983 Liberty Bowl victory over Doug Flutie-led Boston College and a 1984 Aloha Bowl appearance. After resigning following the ’85 season, Faust spent the next nine seasons (1986-94) as head coach at the University of Akron. He later joined the development staff at Akron. Faust is author of two books – The Golden Dream and Tales From the Notre Dame Sideline.
