Charlie Weis (ex-Kansas HC, ex-Fla OC, Notre Dame legend, UnDecided Schematic Advantage)

Charlie continues to play the victim. When asked a couple of questions that could be answered in any number of ways, he chose to either complain about the criticism he's received; or to whine about how ND's supposed academic superiority makes it tough for him to recruit.

Here's are some verbatim quotes (I DVR'd it and typed this section carefully) from Charlie's interview with George Smith (including the full questions to convey what prompted his responses) on College Football Live today:

Q - "What's the biggest surprise for you, as a coach here at Notre Dame? "What took you by surprise in this job?"

A - "Personally, probably the thing that's probably the most disheartening, is the people that have no idea who you are, and take shots at your character. That's disheartening, it really is... it really, it really pains your soul."

Q - "What attack on your character stands out in your mind?"

A -"You name it - you name it, it's out there. I'm a bad person, I'm arrogant, I'm sarcastic, I'm rude, I'm obnoxious. I don't care about these people, I don't care about those people. I mean you name it - you name it, you got it."

...

Q - "So when you're talking to kids now, what's the allure of Notre Dame in '09, as opposed to maybe '88, the last National Title season?

A - "See, they weren't alive when Notre Dame won the National Championship last. You know, the guys that we're not gonna get are the two-and-a-half year guys. Play freshman year, play sophomore year, play junior year, declare for the draft. We're not gonna get those guys. Because why would they come here? We don't have Bubblegum 101 as one of our majors."

So Charlie managed to insult the academic standing of 119 other academic institutions while also trying to construct an excuse for his difficulties in winning football games and producing NFL players.

He complains about others taking shots at his character, but his own decisions on how to answer those questions show flaws in his character.

However, I believe that his second answer above illustrates an increasing level of self-awareness.

I don't think he even believes this crap anymore...

The worst thing to happen to Notre Dame is that soft schedule this year. Weis will win 10, artificially up his status, and ND will be stuck with him for a number of years.

He has no idea how to run a college program. Absolutely none. If he could self-evaluate then he would know that he is a good coordinator, terrible head coach. Unfortunately, his ego has prevented him from this realization.

Actually, they had Bubblegum 101 as a major before he got there, but they immediately dropped it because they knew they'd have about 55 guys chewing his ass to death every August through May.

This is what I love about Coach Dirgible, I mean he whines how he gets personally attacked and then says a snide, arrogant, condescending thing 3 sentences...3 sentences!...later. He's either the annoying fuckstick he seems like, or he's that annoying fuckrod we all know somewhere in our lives that acts like an asstaco without even realizing what an asstaco he's being because he's oblivious to it. I'm betting like Pete Rose it's the former.

You know, all the slobbering that would result in from probably late September until early January would be nearly unbearable, but the smack back to reality of the absolute gorilla fisting they'd take in any major Bowl game might just be worth it.

The really great part of that interview was what immediately followed: the analysis by the ESPN talking head, who immediately pulled out the Tyrone Willingham card. I'm convinced they're only doing this for ratings, because not even ESPN could be this goddamn retarded unless it was on purpose.

Irish leave out losing seasons in bio of Weis | The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind.

Irish leave out losing seasons in bio of Weis
Michael RothsteinThe Journal Gazette

Notre Dame omitted the losing seasons from Weis’ year-by-year biography on page 15 of the 2009 Spring Prospectus and page 90 of the 2008 football media guide. Among the omissions is the Irish’s 3-9 2007 season.

The 2007 statistics appear on page 91 in the 2008 guide and in the school’s year-by-year history, among other places.

The decision to omit those records goes back to when Weis was hired in 2005 without any prior head coaching experience. Notre Dame’s media relations department said Monday that it treated his coaching history like that of an assistant – only accentuating the positive.

“That’s the way we did it at the time and that’s what we’ve lived with, for the most part,” said Notre Dame senior associate athletics director for media relations John Heisler said. “If you go back, it didn’t necessarily look the same as Bob’s or Tyrone’s or anybody’s. We weren’t trying to make it look identical.”

Other records that are missing include the New England Patriots’ 5-11 season in 2000, the 6-10 year the Patriots had in 1995, the 5-11 year in 1993, a 6-10 campaign with the New York Giants in 1992 and two losing seasons at South Carolina: 5-6 in 1985 and 3-6-2 in 1986.

However, any .500 or better season Weis helped out in, from the 8-4 Gator Bowl season at South Carolina in 1987 to the 10-2 Sugar Bowl year at Notre Dame in 2006, was included.
