Describes how the storied college football program transformed a lackluster performance, including the losing 2003-2004 seasons, into a remarkable comeback, under the leadership of Charlie Weis, a forty-nine-year-old Notre Dame grad with no head coaching experience who, in the space of a year, put Notre Dame back on a winning track.
