Lou Holtz had the same issue as the last Champion Notre Dame team was 1977 when he arrived.

I disagree. The 1980 team which was Dan Devine's last was 9-2-1 and went to the Sugar Bowl. Faust was only there between 1981–1985 before Lou Holtz took over in 1986.

A 17 year old recruited by Holtz would have had clear memory of the Dan Devine years.

A 17 year old recruited by Kelly will have no memory of watching great Notre Dame teams.
