Enough Weis
Was it just me, or did Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis come off just a bit arrogant and self-serving during the "60 Minutes" piece that aired Sunday night about Weis and the Irish program?
I did not come away thinking, if I had a son, I'd want him to play for this guy. In fact, my feelings were quite the opposite, particularly after watching him in the recruiting "war room," and after he discussed how he uses his massive New England Patriots Super Bowl ring when he's recruiting impressionable kids.
Does Pete Carroll walk into the homes of recruits carrying the Heisman Trophy awards Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush won the last few years? Does Jim Tressel just happen to have the 2002 national championship trophy with him when he makes a home visit?
You think Mack Brown hands out 8 x 10 signed glossy photos of Vince Young when he's trying to tell a kid about the great Texas tradition?
Isn't selling them on Notre Dame enough?
Isn't it about impressing upon them the fact they can get a superb education at Notre Dame, not to mention play for one of the most recognized teams in sports?
If the coach has to dazzle a recruit with a gaudy Super Bowl ring, that becomes more about the impressed-with-himself coach and not all about the program.

"I mean, three losses by a combined eight points over that span," he said. "If you give me that record right now, I'll take the next four years off. Go ahead, give me that record right now. I'll take a little siesta."
"I'd just like to think that as good as their program has been for quite some time, we're on our way to being on equal footing," Weis said. "I'd like to think we're on our way."
