I'm so tired of Holtz pimping his former schools. He was trying to say South Carolina would be a sleeper team in the SEC East. Then he trumps himself by saying ND will win 11 games? What a tool.

Hey now, I could easily see North Dakota winning 11 games this year. And how come Holtz never makes ridiculous predictions about William and Mary going undefeated and winning the BCS championship despite playing in 1aa? My alma mater needs some love, too.

I loved it when ESPN said that Charlie is not talking about '07 and is starting with a clean slate.....I couldn't help but think they meant to say that he is starting with a clean plate.
:biggrin:


I about fell over when Lee Corso said that if Charlie doesn't call the offensive plays they end up in a minor bowl and if he does call the offensive plays they end up in a major bowl.
WTF is Corso smoking?

Weis listens to NFL mentors

After the season, two dynamics off the field changed for Notre Dame. First, Charlie Weis hired former Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta to be his assistant head coach in charge of the defense. Tenuta, whose Georgia Tech unit was known for being blitz-happy (the Yellow Jackets sacked Notre Dame quarterbacks nine times in the 2007 season opener), will work with defensive coordinator Corwin Brown. Weis also removed himself from play-calling on offense, handing that responsibility to offensive coordinator Mike Haywood. It's a move Weis had been thinking about, but feared doing last year because he knew his team would struggle and he didn't want to hang any assistants out to dry as scapegoats. :slappy:



Weis made the move after consulting with Bill Belichick and Andy Reid, both successful NFL coaches who yielded play calling to assistants in order to become more involved with the entire team. That is Weis' goal - to become more involved with the entire program rather than being so heavily geared toward the offense. Weis called it "cutting the umbilical cord."

Opponents, you're on notice. Charlie's gonna share his vast wisdom on defense. Oh, and smile, apparently, you're on candid camera!

We're still waiting for Weis to prove himself

As it turns out, Charlie Weis has made significant contributions to the mythology of Notre Dame football.


His genius has been the greatest myth of all.

I was made a believer, too, a sudden convert on the morning of Feb. 3, 2005, when Weis sat before a circle of writers at the Super Bowl and started talking more trash on his way into college football than Steve Spurrier talked on his way into the pros.


Tyrone Willingham should've never been fired, in my opinion, and the venomous emails challenging my Irish Catholichood for printing it suggested a vast legion of clueless/heartless Golden Domers disagreed. How dare I criticize a storied, faith-based university for using its first African-American coach to rescue it from the George O'Leary mess before discarding him faster than administrators had ever fired anyone in the same job?


But when I started listening to Weis, a blameless beneficiary of the Willingham wipeout, he sure sounded like a guy who'd win a lot of football games. He was three days away from another championship as offensive coordinator of the Patriots, as the maker and molder of Tom Brady, and his confidence -- no, his arrogance -- was as subtle as a fullback dive.


Someone wanted to know how Weis would compete with all the heavyweight programs that were pounding Notre Dame on the recruiting trail.


"First of all, they've got to learn about us," he said. "Now let them try to stop a pro-style offense. Let's see how they're going to do. They've had their advantage, because I came into recruiting late.


"But now it's Xs and Os time. Let's see who has the advantage now."

:shake: I love these reporters that are saying Willingham should have stayed, like it would have made a difference. What has he done in Washington since he arrived? Sure hasn't been a savior there, they want him out now after 3 years, surprise, surprise. I'm not saying Weis has proved himself yet, he needs another bowl game and he needs to win at LEAST 7-8 this year. If he lays another goose egg this season, things are going to be looking pretty grim. His first full recruiting class are now upperclassmen this year, juniors among those that remain.

Yeah, but let's be honest here: Willingham and Weis had pretty much the same record after three years. Yet Willingham was fired and Weis was given a contract extension (albeit the year before). To top it all off, Weis' third year was literally one of the worst in the history in college football. They won 3 games, but they were so epically terrible on both sides of the ball that we may not have seen a greater exercise in futility in our lifetimes. They were terrible.

Yet Weis got props and Willingham got shit on. Whether or not Willingham is bad or not (and appearances are that he's not too good) is irrelevant: Weis is just as bad, if not worse.
