If Quenton found it meaningful, it was meaningful. Quenton Nelson would have been a great offensive lineman regardless of who coached him. He’d probably find a reason to buy in to any coach. But it sounds like he needed a little jumpstart after last season. If Kelly’s gestures helped get Nelson back and helped him push himself to improve, who are we to call it all meaningless?

I,do not disagree that it may have been

Meaningful to an individual like Nelson who was debating whether to jump to the NFL or stay at Notre Dame. But, the letter seemed to argue that it was meaningful as a sign that Kelly had transformed into a good coach and further argued it as evidence that Kelly is the right guy for Notre Dame because “who else can ND get?” I disagree with that argument.
