Coach Weis has brought a confidence to this team that's just kind of bled through the team. It's kind of something we're trying to feed off of. ... He's brought a lot of things, but I think the mentality he's brought has just been probably the key part.

Coach Weis' scheme sets us up in favorable positions all the time. The biggest thing is the way he's taught us as far as where to go with the ball in every single situation. You've always got outlets, you've always got places to go, and that makes you feel comfortable when you're a quarterback under center.
Brady Quinn
Having two weeks to prepare and pore over every frame of game film is a great advantage. I am very interested to see what Coach Weis has planned, particularly the first 15 offensive plays which Weis scripts. Weis has done a great job of putting points on the board against highly ranked opponents.
Pat Haden
I have a feeling if we don't take care of that, he (Weis) will.
Bob Morton
(Coach Weis) is just honest. He's not always going to say the right thing, but he's going to speak his mind. That's why people take to him so well and why we respect him, because it comes from the heart.
Anthony Fasano
The whole point of dropping the academics to get better players in was a bunch of bull. I'm glad they didn't do it. I'm glad coach (Weis) didn't do it, because there are players out there that are academically fine to be at this school and that can go on to play great here and great at the next level. That's what Charlie's doing.
Mike Golic
Charlie Weis restored the pride and magic at Notre Dame in a single season. If ever there was a deserving candidate for this award it is Weis. He basically took the same players who were there the year before and won more games. That's coaching.
Steve Richardson
Charlie Weis is as good of an offensive mind as I've been around. He's the best game-day coach I've ever been around. I'm a fan of his and the way he was able to motivate the offense and help people make plays and get them to win.
Damon Huard
I think the Irish coaches' preparation and work ethic toward recruiting before the two wins is 95 percent of the momentum they have. I think the two wins are 5 percent of it. It's almost as if the recruits, because of the confidence Charlie Weis exudes, kind of expected this to happen, expected early success.
Tom Lemming
Everyone has input on offense, although Charlie (Weis) is the general and I'm the captain. I deliver whatever message Charlie wants to get across.
Mike Haywood
[How have the Irish and their new coach done it? Weis' philosophy of preparation, hard work and nasty play has helped.] He's a champion, ... Champions play like that. Champions practice like that.
Bryan Harris
I think the way (Weis) thinks in so many ways. He's rough and tough and doesn't hold back words ... he tells it like it is. I like straight-shooters. And with it comes our aggressive approach on defense. I think I'm a good fit and happy to be here.
Rick Minter
I think it's just a change overall in our program, the way we approached spring ball, the way we approached the off-season workouts, the way we approach practice. I think that plays a big part. How we work in the weight room, overall what we do in the classroom, what we do off the field, everything just has changed. A lot of that has to do with Coach Weis and how he's changed the program around.
Maurice Stovall
I think every high school quarterback would want to play under coach Weis.
Jimmy Clausen
He?s a lot like coach (Charlie) Weis, a guy who gets under your skin a little bit. It?s tough love.
Chinedum Ndukwe
It's a gamble - if they get blown out like they have the past three years I don't think [the game] will make a good impression in the slightest. They have to play well and look good while playing well. It's a gamble, but I think [Irish coach] Charlie Weis and his staff know what they're doing.
Mike Frank
Then I talked to coach Charlie Weis and he said that he wanted to offer me. But, they want to recruit me as a wide receiver. I don't know, I'm pretty set on quarterback. It's still in the air.
John Chiles
The old philosophy was kind of like, 'Let's start our own legacy,' whereas Coach Weis wants us to create our own legacy while honoring the past.
