An athletic department source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed Tuesday night that Weis has been informed he will return for his fifth season after sitting in limbo since Saturday night’s 38-3 beatdown from No. 5 USC in Los Angeles.
The one-sided setback gave Weis four losses in Notre Dame's last five games, a school-record-worst 9-15 mark over a two-year stretch and a 28-21 overall record in four seasons.
WNDU-TV, the NBC affiliate in South Bend, The South Bend Tribune and several other media outlets, citing anonymous sources,are also reporting that Weis will return for a fifth season.
It took a while for the light bulb to go on, but when it did, Jonas Gray finally showed the talent many had expected from the blue-chip prospect from Detroit. In a recent interview, Gray, who is rehabbing an ACL injury to get ready for the NFL Scouting Combine, expressed the confidence and support he has for head coach Brian Kelly.
