OXFORD, Miss. -- As of right now, his heart -- literally and figuratively -- isn't in it. \nIn a shocking move Wednesday afternoon, former Ole Miss football head coach David Cutcliffe resigned from his coaching post at Notre Dame due to health concerns just months after undergoing triple bypass heart surgery. \nCutcliffe, 50, was hired on Jan. 4, just weeks after being fired from Ole Miss. Then on March 9, while in Oxford, Miss., he underwent the procedure. \nIn accordance with his medical leave from Notre Dame in early March, he cited poor health for his stepping down despite feeling better after the surgery. \n"I'm happy to say that I am on the mend and, in fact, that I am healthier since my bypass surgery than I've been in years," Cutcliffe said in a statement. "However, it will be months before I can claim that mental, physical and emotional intensity and would never give any program less than the passion and energy it deserves."
