Most impressive thing about Weis was his ability to recruit key players to ND three years before he was offered the job.
I am a rabid Pats fan and Charlie is a great guy. He could have been a head coach after being the offensive co-ordinator for the Pats when they won 3 super bowls, but he didn't want to coach some scrub NFL team. He is an ND grad and is fulfilling a life dream.
Remember that Bill Belichek, one of the most successful head coaches in NFL history, is primarily a defensive guy. Charlie had control of the Pats offense and got the most out of it. Sure, he had Tom Brady, but not much to speak off in terms of wide recievers or running backs during most of his time with New England.
As an ND fan, I am happy for him and for ND...
