The question is not whether Notre Dame is for real or not. The question is could Charlie Weis have really made that big of a difference? Yes, the man is an offensive genius whose two best friends (Belichick & Parcells) are two of the greatest football coaches ever. But, can a coach really make that big of a difference? Steve Spurrier has been impressive in South Carolina while Dave Wannstedt continues to disappoint in Pittsburgh.
I think the Fighting Irish are very talented, well coached, and have a ton of potential. But, I also think they have played two teams that weren't ready to play and were poorly coached. I think Notre Dame is a top 20 team, possibly top 15. I just don't think they're top 10 material yet regardless of everyone talking about how much of a god Charlie Weis is. Wonder what Willingham thinks of all this?
