The Carolina Panthers should be an offensive juggernaut next season thanks to Charlie....:wink2:
From the Charlotte Observer June 1st

Weis, Irish staff share info with Panthers


Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis and his staff are in Charlotte this week to exchange information with Panthers coaches and to attend Carolina's minicamp.
Weis said after Wednesday morning's practice that he and close friend John Fox, the Panthers' coach, planned the time together several months ago.
"When you're coaching in college, you don't share with a college coach; and when you coach in the pros, you don't share with a pro coach," Weis said.
"This is an ideal situation. A lot of things we do and a lot of things they do are the same. ... It's a good marriage where we can try to solve some problems and share some information without passing it on to (another) NFL team or college team."
Fox and Weis have been getting together away from football with their families for years. Fox considered hiring Weis as the Panthers' offensive coordinator in 2002 before Weis decided to stay with the New England Patriots.
Weis helped Tom Brady become one of the NFL's best quarterbacks in New England, and has a new star protege in rising Irish senior Brady Quinn, the early favorite to be next year's No. 1 NFL draft pick.
"He's got all the tools," Weis said of Quinn. "We'll just see how he develops. He's pretty good right now. The reason he came back for another year (instead of turning pro) was to see if he can be seasoned one more year, make sure he's not a one-year wonder, then go on and have himself a nice (NFL) career."

You know what this means...He's just biding his time until he gets the NFL offer, in case things don't go as planned at ND...:p

I am a very forgiving person and I usually wish negative upon nobody, BUT...after having worked with douchebag-arrogant Quinn, I hope he stays healthy (the good side of me speaking), but has a miserable NFL career. I have met around 30 college football players personally including MoC and NO ONE, I mean NO ONE compares to Brady. He would walk in the store and even the girls would be like, "ohhh man, Brady has to work today?".

On Weis, I also wish him good health but a miserable career. His pompous (almost sincerely smart-alec, but you could tell he meant it) crack on JT's college NC rings drives me nutty. And his whole 6 weeks of preparation joke...I hope they lose 5 this year. Last year half their schedule was having a down year...most notably Tennessee, Purdue, scUM (5 losses not good enough) & Pitt...so was their 8-3 all that great? We'll see this year.

Took him a while?? CW said in the press conference after the game that OSU was the better team.

Go back and read the quotes. What he essentially said, in every interview I heard, was something to the effect "I don't want to take anything away from Ohio State, they are a fine team and they played a great game, but we just didn't [fill in the blank: execute our (read that "my") game plan, get it done, make the big plays]. We beat ourselves".

That's not saying Ohio State was the better team. It's saying, "they didn't beat us, we lost".

That's not true at all: Tressel routinely visits other successful teams in the offseason to trade ideas and techniques with their coaching staffs.

It's not a matter of truth. It's an opinion. Weis doesn't believe in sharing with coaches that he might face in a bowl game or championship game that year. I agree with him.

Am I the only one who thinks this thread has run its course?

I mean people are resorting to who was fatter, Woody or Charlie?

NDC, you proved your point, I thought you said you were done with this thread about 15 pages ago?

Maybe that's another reason I find him so detestable--he states his opinions as fact. If this was just his opinion, he'd say "I"; instead he says "you" as if it's a self-evident truth, when many other college coaches do share with each other.

I don't like the guy, but I think you're really digging here. A person can state an opinion without using 'I'.
