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

[ORD_Buckeye]

Bruce Feldman recently named Weis as the worst coach in D1 college football.

The first coaching casualty of 2014 is one you could have predicted the day he was hired: Kansas' Charlie Weis has been fired.

Estimated $19 million from Notre Dame, $7 million plus more from KU ... for not working. Charlie Weis remains my hero.

Shocked.

 

[MaxBuck]

You could knock me over with a feather.

 

[Buckeye Maniac]

I imagine other teams will be lining up to give him money to ensure he doesn't coach them either.

 

[Steve19]

Not only does he earn money, but he provides Hoke with an exit strategy.

Have to admit that the fat, arrogant, grotesque bastard brought out the best in me. A final tribute.

 

[ochre]

too big to fail.

Charlie has to be the smartest HC that ever sucked at being a HC. He's now collecting big checks from two different schools and isn't coaching for either of them. Maybe THAT's the schematic advantage?

9 Years ago at this time he was probably the hottest name in coaching and inking a ridiculous extension. Now he's getting fired by Kansas. I'm sure BBQ joints all over East-Central Kansas are weeping right now...

You're right. He should blow through that $26 million on cheeseburgers in two-three weeks tops.

Did his team practice how to react when he got fired?

So much of it had to do with ESPiN and ND's own hype machines. Hard to believe he gets an extension w/ND unless they bought into their own PR and ESPiN's bs. Or that Kentucky hires him (esp at that price) if not for ESPiN's bs.
It's always amusing to me how the very people who craft these mythologies (Tebow, soon Manziel) turn on them.

I'd hire him to test weather I've cooked chicken well enough. But that's it.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Seriously. .. just how awful do you need to be to fired by Kansas?
