So if Weis should land everyone he wants, including those fleeing other sinking ships, can we expect to see a follow-up to "[ame="http://www.amazon.com/No-Excuses-Incredible-Through-Coach/dp/0061206725"]No Excuses[/ame]" possibly titled, "For Real This Time, Absolutely No Excuses"?

As far as I'm concerned the case is still open on how well Charlie can recruit.

That's right, I'm not willing to concede Charlie's recruiting prowess just yet. Think about the circumstances of his first two years. How could he not recruit well?. 1) It's frickin' Notre Dame. They have a national recruiting, national fanbase, national television contract and a built in recruiting (brain washing) network in every Catholic school in the country. 2) Transition periods at powerhouse schools always result in a recruiting spike as kids suddenly become interested in going to a ND, Ohio State or Alabama and playing right away and having a chance in taking part of some "historic turnaround" of a down on its heels great program. 3) Add in the insane amount of Charlie hype his first year from the initial "schematic advantage" reporting, to waving the rings in the cameras, to "pass right" and the weeklong ESPN nut shot that followed, to the 60 minutes interview, to the speculation of when's the NFL going to come begging Charlie to take a head coaching job to the extension and so on ad nauseum.

Given all the above, how could anyone possibly fail to recruit well--hell great. Let's see, however, how well he does the next three years now that his program is imploding; now that he's shown that he and his staff can't develop players or coach fundamentals; now that numerous players recruited by Charlie are jumping ship; and now that even his "schematic genius" is being exposed as the cheap talk of an arrogant blowhard. As for the NFL, he'd be lucky to get his old job back as the film boy these days.

Let's see if this magnificent recruiting can continue.

NDChief, I don't expect a response and I am not calling you or any other ND fan out, but just remember something...we told you this day would come. We told you what he was. We told you what he'd do. We told you the results he would have.

Big lesson for us all: Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

I wish Ohio State would kick the everliving shit out of Penn State this weekend. Make it happen.

The Worst Football Coach in the Universe

slate
"Charlie Weis has returned Notre Dame to relevancy. Just two years ago, as Notre Dame spiraled toward mediocrity under Ty Willingham, a shot at a national title seemed improbable. But the schemes and the discipline Weis has installed have revived past glories. The only question on the Irish offense comes on the line. But considering the way Weis turned castoff linemen into solid starters with the New England Patriots, that should not be a huge concern."?New York Times, Aug. 27, 2006

In the entire history of American sports hype, has there ever been any fraud more grossly fraudulent than Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis?

Weis' Fighting Irish now stand at 1-7. This record is only the faintest indicator of just how awful Notre Dame is. They have lost nine of their last 10 games, by an average of 24 points. None has been close. While Notre Dame has suffered very few injuries, three of its opponents have had to play the Irish without their starting quarterbacks. Two of those teams, USC and Michigan, nonetheless beat Notre Dame by a larger margin than either has beaten any other opponent so far this year. Notre Dame's lone win came against UCLA, which had been forced to use its third-string quarterback, a walk-on. In that game, Notre Dame compiled just 140 yards of offense, but won with the help of seven Bruin turnovers, five of them hand-delivered courtesy of the hapless walk-on signal-caller.

Picked this up on a Domer board.

RISH EYES FORWARD: Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis - the man who was quoted this summer as saying, "Rebuilding? God strike me dead if I ever use that word" - is doing just that during the Irish's bye week. Half of the Irish's practice sessions are being used to prepare for the Nov. 3 game against Navy. Then the players who won't be back next season will depart, and practice will resume with the younger players. "It's important to start developing the team as if those guys are gone," Weis said.

If true, and not tongue in cheek, this is the most outlandish thing I have ever heard.

Actually it is true, and it is outlandish!
