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

Yeah, that Notre Dame job isn't exactly appealing, the expectations are for you to come in and make the current disaster successful, Willingham did some damned good recruiting and Weis lived off it for a few years, now he's faced with his recruits and whoever comes in gets that. So, if you want the ND job, you are going to have to wait until someone who actually knows what they are doing comes in, let them recruit, then when they get clipped after two years you can maybe step in to, hopefully, a decent recruiting class in order to manage to keep the job.

Weis isn't looking too bright right now

Special to FOXSports.com, Updated 1 hour ago STORY

Now this ... this, is rich.

Notre Dame is on the hook for another $20-some-million to an offensive genius who can't pick up a first down, let alone a win. They are dead last in the country in total offense by a wide margin. They are staring 0-8 in the face.
Notre Dame, 0-8?

Notre Dame, with its own TV contract?

Notre Dame, with the richest history in college sports?

(I did an Amazon books search for "Notre Dame football," and got 1,743 results. Yeah, sure, a lot of those must be repeats. But that was more than I got for "Alabama football" and "Nebraska football" combined.)

Welcome to Charlie Weis' world. I don't live there ? few media types do ? but I picture Weis walking around his office, asking everybody, "Aren't I smart? I am, right? So this can't be me."

Weis is in major trouble at Notre Dame, and this goes beyond the 2007 season. Charlie Weis is a Me Guy. That doesn't mean he's a bad guy or a bad coach. I'm sure he loves his school. But from the moment he arrived in South Bend, his program has been all about him ? his story, his head, his ability. Weis loves it that way. This is a man who looks at his reflection in his Super Bowl rings and grins.

Weis is supposed to be cut from the same mold as Bill Parcells, a Jersey guy with a big ego who builds championship teams. But Parcells would never have taken a new job and announced that his teams would have a "decided schematic advantage" against every opponent, as Weis did. If Parcells ever took a college job, he never would have told people how well his team would do once these other coaches got a load of these NFL plays, as Weis did.

Parcells would have talked about winning. And toughness. Everybody would know there was a new sheriff in town. But he never, ever, would have talked about how his schemes would be the difference.

Do you understand what Charlie Weis did?

He took credit for winning before he even won.

See, when you tell the world that your plays will win championships, you are saying that YOU will win championships.

Not your players.

Not talent.

You.

You and your big, macho, Einstein-esque brain.

Weis is having the kind of month that would embarrass Bob Davie. His team got blown out by Penn State, Georgia Tech and Michigan . His starting quarterback for the first game, Demetrius Jones, bailed on him and says Weis misled him over the summer by saying he had a fair shot to compete with a healthy Jimmy Clausen.

Most fanbases won't support an endless series of 'return to glory' books.

It is definitely risible - considering that Jones did start - and then was thrown under the bus once the California wonder-child got a miracle cure.
