From BlogCritics.Com - The Spectacular Failure of Notre Dame

There are failures that capture the public's fascination. The botched murder trial of OJ Simpson, New Coke, and the Titanic are three examples. In college football, since 1994, no failure has surpassed that of the most visible college football team in the nation. Notre Dame is college football to some, but to observers of the sport they're little more than a pleasing way to watch a team come apart when faced with stiff competition.

"Criminally weak schedule" and this paragraph:
Coach Weis, out-coached by Les Miles, is not an offensive genius nor is he a proven winner in big games. Super Bowls are not won by offensive coordinators and Weis approaches defense as an afterthought at Notre Dame. He is, to put it mildly, in over his head. A once proud reputation is snickered at and if Weis doesn't jump to the NFL soon he'll find himself as a coordinator again.

had me rolling. Out-coached by Les Miles is a serious indictment.

Re: When Notre Dame signed football coach Charlie Weis to a 10-year contract extension midway through his first season in 2005. The contract, which went into effect for the current season, effectively binds Weis to the Irish through 2015.

I'm sure that if ND is patient and just gives Charlie Weis 9 more years, he should be able to "turn the program around" by 2015.

On the brighter side, since Weis is under contract to ND through 2015; that means ND could go another 9 years without winning a bowl game.

That would be fine with me. Notre Dame losing a lucrative TV contract would be a great thing to see.

Can't argue with that. There seems to be as many people watching NoD hoping they fail as there are actual NoD fans. They aren't losing that TV deal or BCS tie-in anytime soon.

the Bowl ratings have been terrible this year. Sugar was down 8 points, 3rd worst Fiesta Ratings ever, 2nd worst Orange ever; even the Rose was down.

I don't expect the Title Game to be anything super either as compared to years past. Especially last year's.

Notre Dame is the Howard Stern of college football. Many watch because they love them. Many others watch because they hate them.

I think it's time that ND is forced to join a conference if they want to continue appearing in BCS games. It's utterly ridiculous that they can skate by an entire season (again) without a quality win, subsequently getting that ND "+1 factor" from the pollsters, and finally landing a spot in a bowl in which they have no business playing.

Join a conference, or suffer the consequences. I'm sick of letting ND be a charity case.
