Much worse? I'd put ND and NIU on the same level...ND has better talent, but NIU has a better coach.

Ouch

Like I said sometimes guys like Findlay need to face reality.

I'd put Novak's record up against Weiss any day of the week.

Dude bad move.

We were freaking terrible the first few years with Novak.I agree Joe is an excellent coach however his overall record won't indicate that.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

No, no, no... this won't do... recognizing a weakness? :p

I may have to end up buying this guy a beer.

 

[WyoBuck]

Maybe we shouldn't even show up? Let's just stay in DeKalb and not waste the gas money.

This actually may be a better plan.....

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

It would save me a couple bucks on a beer, that's for sure.

First 3 years 1-10, 0-11, 2-9.

I have a very good post ready for ole' Charlie Weiss, but I'll save that for another thread. I was speaking of Novak's successes vs. Weiss' successes, which are extremely limited at this level.

Give Charlie a few more years of ignoring the D at Notre Ame and we'll see what happens. :tongue2:

Thanks to you guys Novak has more bowl wins then Weiss.


Seriously though Weiss needs to show he can do it for more then 1 year. Remember Willingham........

An excellent point.. Of course, they didn't reward Ty mid-season with a 10 year deal. And Ty did go.. what 11-2? 10-3 in his first year?

Weiss' first year includes wins against teams with 6,5,9,6,6,6,10 and 6 losses, and 4 loss Navy.
Losses to USC, OSU and 6 loss MSU.
Weiss is a great coach

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

yeah, but if Weis didn't beat those teams, they would be 5,4,8,5,5,5,9, and 5 losses, and 3 loss Navy.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Findlay, have you seen Tennessee's defense?

(Sorry, re-watched the Fiesta today, and that was what CHuckie had to say to Musburger when Musburger asked him what he thought about matching up against the best D he'd see all year)
