John Allen, All-American Declines Notre Dame Job

DETROIT -- Mid-State Office Supply Accounts Receivables manager John Allen, All-American, said Saturday he was contacted by Notre Dame about its coaching vacancy but decided to stay with Mid-State.

"I am absolutely 100 percent committed to Mid-State Office Supply, and my desire to build the Accounts Receivables department into a winner," Allen said in a statement.

The Irish also talked to Urban Meyer, before he decided to leave Utah for Florida on Friday.

Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White, who was in Ann Arbor for Saturday's Notre Dame-Michigan men's basketball game, declined comment.
