I realize this is a little off-topic, but Charlie Weis, ex-Patriots Offensive Coordinator, can now add another “ex-” to his resume. As in, ex-Notre Dame head coach. I thought this article had an interesting take on Weis’s tenure and the problems of ND football.

Apparently, the decline of Catholic secondary schools has played a major role in ND’s nose-dive as they no longer act as “prime recruiting centers.” One out of five Catholic schools in the U.S. has closed over the past 10 years.
