Personal and Later Life
Despite his unsuccessful coaching tenure at Notre Dame, Faust's love for the school has never wavered and he still regularly attends Irish home football games. He has said "I had only 26 miserable days at Notre Dame; that's when we lost. Other than that, I was the happiest guy in the world. I loved walking on the campus, loved being there, loved being a part of Notre Dame."
Faust was married to the former Marlene Agruso in 1964. They are parents of three children and have six grandchildren. Their son, Steve, is a Notre Dame graduate. Faust lives in Fairlawn, Ohio, a suburb of Akron. He now works as a motivational speaker.

—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt—for “woman.””
