Weis understood Notre Dame.

After 8 years, Kelly seems no closer to understanding it than when he started. That's probably why he's been so hellbent into turning it into something else.

Despite his lack of head coaching skill and boorish behavior, I think Weis could authentically sell Notre Dame to an elite athlete. I suspect Kelly comes across more like a run of the mill politician promising that Progress is his middle name.
