I'll never understand why they gave Weis that huge contract extension, esp. for all those years.
Weis got the extension simply because during last season his stock rose enormously and several pro teams placed him at the top of their lists as a potential head coach. Sure, he can still walk, but the extension makes it harder for him to leave.
While ND wasn't 1-11 prior to his arrival, Willingham was floundering as coach, the offense was uninspired, and despite some early success in his first year, there wasn't any improvement.
It will be interesting to see Weis' teams when the players that he recruited are operating in his system.
