Stick A Fork In Fat Man Charlie Weis, He Is Done At Notre Dame

As mentioned on Dreadnaught here, here, here, here, and here, Charlie Weis must be fired.  Charlie lost today to UConn.  Yes, he lost to Navy and UConn in the same year.  Charlie, what happened to the the “decided schematic advantage“?

Wait, maybe you were misquoted.  You intended to say that with you as head coach, Notre Dame would have a “decided schematic disadvantage.”  That is what they have.  Take your cash, your FUPA, your barely-.500 winning percentage,  and your condescending attitude and go back to Jersey.  You are a joke!

Pitt Over Notre Dame: Another Nail In Charlie Weis’s Coffin

Charlie Weis is on his way out at Notre Dame.  Loss last week to Navy.  Now a loss to Pitt.  As has been called on here, here, here, and here, Notre Dame must replace Charlie Weis.

Navy Over Notre Dame

Charlie Weis made history in 2007 by losing to Navy for the first time in 44 years.  He did it again today by losing to Navy  23 – 21.

This takes Notre Dame out of the BCS, with their third loss of the season.

This should increase the calls for Charlie Weis to be fired.  As mentioned here, here, and, here, Notre Dame needs a new coach.

Another note on the game, specifically on the coverage by NBC, the praise for Jimmy Clausen is getting worse every game.  Praising Clausen for his ability to make comeback wins in the 4th quarter is more of an indictment of Notre Dame.  They are losing for most of the quarters they play.  That is not a good thing.

Charlie Weis Claims Moral Victory After Loss To USC

Note Dame coach, Charlie “I Looked at Myself and Saw a Disaster” Weis clamed the 2009 loss to USC was a moral victory.  Irish fans have to understand that Weis can not turn this team around in just five seasons, despite the fact that his team will, in “every game . . . have a decided schematic advantage.”  You must understand, he is suffering from the poor recruiting done by Ty Willingham.

Again, you can not expect Weis to turn the program around in just five seasons.  It has taken a number of head coaches to get their teams to national championships.  Nick Saban did it in his 4th season, Pete Carroll did it in his 3rd season, Bob Stoops did it in his 2nd season, and Urban Meyer did it in his 2nd season.  Well, those are all less than the five seasons Weis has had, but it is different for Weis.  Not sure how it is different, but it is.

It can not be Charlie Weis’s fault, he is just too great of a coach.  Remember Charlie Weis making history last season by losing to Navy for the first time in 44 years.  That was also Willingham’s fault.  Don’t blame Weis.

Why Charlie Weis Is Loathsome And The Irish Deserve Better

Any reader of Dreadnaught knows this is not a Notre Dame blog.  The Men of Troy are my team.  Thus, if you are a Domer you may want read this post with that in mind.  But, be it known, I have nothing but respect for Notre Dame fans.  I have been to South Bend and watched games at the Coliseum and without exception found the Irish fans to be knowledgeable, humble in victory, and sportsmanlike in defeat.

You deserve a better coach, and much better person than Charlie Weis.  He is a petulant Jersey mall rat and wannabe tough guy.

His overall record is 28-21, with only 8 victories with teams that finished the seasons with records better than .500.

He brags of his vast football acumen and his dominance with the Patriots in the NFL. I am convinced that my Bulldog Dreadnought could win in the NFL with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.  And Dreadnought is a great dog, but not all that smart.

Weis has coached talented players at Notre Dame, just look at his recruiting classes.
