I don’t think his religion would have much to do with it. Unlike BYU ND does not care what religion a person practices. I think BYU requires the head coach to be a Mormon.
Rockne was not Catholicv either as far as I know (but I believe he converted). I don’t think Parsegean is Catholic. Not sure about Devine.

Presbyterian....95–17–4 record, for a .836 winning percentage, making him the most successful Notre Dame coach of the modern era.

Yes, here's a nice post on "The Rock," mentioning his conversion.

What I don't like is that Kelly is a Catholic who is pro-choice. If he was another faith that believed in abortion, it wouldn't bother me as much ... but there's nothing worse than a p***-poor Catholic.

Ara was NOT a Catholic, but Devine was. Does it all matter?

For the past 15 years Notre Dame has cared little for actually putting excellence on the field. They are not willing to pay the price, nor hire the coach. Some of it has to do with lowering admissions standards. They would prefer we alums shell out the money to see 8-4 or 6-6 teams play each Saturday.

My patience is running thin.
