These are very good questions.
 
ND was better under Weiss for a limited period of time because the players Ty Willingham brought to the program matured. When those players left Weiss struggled monumentally, don't you remember?
 
Weiss the so-called genius had a horrible record at ND and was fired because of it.
 
I have read numerous articles this offseason about USF being very talented - that the team lost a bunch of games last season that it should not have lost. Plus, I watched them play last year - they were far superior to the Orange at every position. From QB to WR to OL. And if you didn't see that you were not paying attention.  
 
Do teams with inferior talent win games against superior teams? Of course they do. SU trashed WVU last year even though we obviously were not as good as the Mountaineers.
 
And in 2010 we beat some teams that were clearly more talented.
 
The point is that for the most part, the team with the better talent wins.
 
In 2011 SU won 8 games and ran and threw the bowl up and down the field against K-State. Does that mean that Hackett was a great coach that year?
 
As far as records are concerned, I really don't get what you're trying to say. At what point do we start to assess the value of records? Do we start in 2007 or 2008 or 2001?
 
Or do we have to begin this year?
 
Wow.
