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

Can't find the link, but didn't Jabba just go off whining about having to play "thugs and gangsters."

Ahhhh, the classic exercise in domer excusology.

All those Duke, Stanford, Air Force and Navy students--livin' da thug life!

That quote definitely belongs in this thread. I suppose it's a matter of interpretation as to whether he's only talking about guys he doesn't recruit, or guys that end up on an opposing sideline.

Charlie Weis addresses Notre Dame Club in Gettysburg


Charlie Weis has a plan for the University of Notre Dame football team and, according to Weis, it is only two-thirds complete.

Weis wants to assemble individuals who are good people first, studious people second and good football players third.

The first two Weis has accomplished. The last is the one he and the Fighting Irish faithful are waiting for.

"You have to establish a plan and stick to it," Weis told a crowd of Notre Dame alumni and supporters Wednesday at The Pike Restaurant in Gettysburg. "We're on the right track in those aspects."

Something the Irish fans probably want to hear, coming off a disappointing 2007 campaign.

"I buy it," Notre Dame Club of Gettysburg president and alumnus Brendan Cushing-Daniels said about Weis' message. "I think were on the right track and I'm looking for a dramatically better performance on the field this year."

His plan has worked so far. Weis mentioned that he has had very little social problems to deal with in his three years as coach of Notre Dame.

"I could get hoodlums and thugs and win tomorrow," Weis said. "I won't do it that way."

The same goes with school. If he knows a recruit is not committed to putting in the rigorous academic work at Notre Dame, he will tell that person to try another school that may be less demanding academically.

Cont'd ...

So Weis thinks that "hoodlums and thugs" would be better than the kids he currently has on the team? Does he think they would pick up his schemes faster and enhance his schematic advantage? Is he saying he's not already recruiting top players in the country?

Congratulations Charlie, you just managed to insult and degrade not only all of your current players, but all future players as well.


What a fucking jackass.

Eh, its harder to make a rhyme with Charlie...

"Sack of barley" Charlie...

What a fucking jackass.

Exactly, the underlying point is that he's taking a round about way of arguing that it's not his schematic genius that's the issue. Rather, his players aren't good enough to execute his genius. If only the playing field were level, and he didn't have to play against "thugs and gangsters" his genius would prevail.

The man is a total piece of shit!

You mean like Lou Holtz did?

 

[Dryden]

So, were all those players that won for him in '05 & '06 hoodlums and thugs?

Uh oh, you have probably offended the fertilizer backers now as shit does have some redeeming value.

CW does seem to have a schematic advantage at excuse making, let's see, blame the kids because they can't learn, now blame the kids because they are good students and people and not thugs and hoodlums, and thus not skilled athletically. Well at least he still has his "Super Bowl" rings, in a perfect world, this scum would have to sell them to pay for his next meal, but then again, with his appetite, he would need more rings.

On a side note, don't ever do a google image search for the term "Pissing contest." Take it from me, nothing good can come of it, and you can't unsee an image...

I've done it before :(

Fuck you Chuck Weis.. dick gobbling bastard.

Just want to say that this is a special case that should inform the psychological theories for coming decades. Call it Napoleon complex or small man syndrome, it doesn't matter (link). What Weis illustrates is that it apparently does not apply necessarily just to men who are small in height or girth, but rather those who are wanting in other areas.

Or, he could recruit talent and win.
Tough call.

Pot(belly) meet kettle.

winning by recruiting hoodlums and thugs would be like cheating. it would be like trying to lose weight by having all the fat vaccuumed out of you & then having your enourmous stomach stapled shut instead of just getting off your fucking ass and going to the gym.
some people just don't get it

Well, Penn State is loaded with Dead Rabbits, and they haven't won too much lately either.

The US Naval Academy would have never beat ND last year without all those hoodlums and thugs they recruit.

Notre Dame will festoon their bed chamber with your guts! They will paint Paradise Square with your blood! TWO COATS!

Don't try to tell me Matt Ryan isn't a gangsta rapper. They do call him Matty Ice, right?

This whole article wreaks of true journalism.
I demand gratuitous swearing and innapropriate pictures in my posts.

Are all thugs automatically good at sports? Because I would totally pull off a carjacking to play for Steelers.

I don't think he could win with hoodlums and thugs, either. He'd probably piss them off too and they'd knife him (or at least I hope).
