1. Did you want to fire Charlie Weis at any point during or after last season?

Yes. As Syracuse pulled to within 6 and I just "knew" ND was gonna lose. As he was being interviewed after the game I screamed at the television, "Do the right thing and resign right now!!!"

2. Were you content with the decision to retain him?

Content may not be the word, but I felt that at season's end if he was given an ultimatum and changes(staff) were made and we won the Bowl Game I was OK with it.

3. What % chance do you give him to turn in a good season this year?

50/50....this should be a 10 Win season, but...Show me!!!

4. What % chance do you give him to win a national championship?

I am with Busco...3%

5. Do you think the offseason changes are a positive development, and will they matter?

Absolutely. I have been skeptical of the timing, but the guys hired are solid hires IMO and the guys moving on are the ones I wanted gone. IMO it starts in the trenches and we got new coaches with solid resumes. If they can do the job we have the skill set beyond the trenches to go to a BCS game.
