Should Charlie Weis go at Notre Dame?
I think about this every day and I know I waste a lot of time in that regard but I can’t help it. I’m still not sure why Ty Willingham got fired so quickly but Weis has only been average since getting his own players in the program. I’m not saying Willingham is a better coach because he isn’t. Willingham has been given every chance and while I’ll never question his character I will question his ability to have that translate into wins at Washington.
Charlie Weis still has 7 years or so on his contract worth around 25 million dollars. What’s that? He had a great year with Willinghams recruits and since hasn’t done much. It’s really time to put up or shut up. He had the schedule this season to really get some wins but something is just missing with this team. They blew a lead versus Pitt and then didn’t even bother to show up against BC last week. Weis’ team sits at 5-4 and the vultures are circling. The guy has brought in top 5 recruiting classes since taking over the team but its yet to show the results that everyone expects in South Bend.
Do I think Charlie should be fired? No, I think he should get a chance to see a recruiting class come in and have them from start to finish before I start judging. If that happens and they win then he deserves to stay and deserves his contract. What people need to remember is that Charlie brought in a top 5 recruiting class even after last years horrible play and are doing the same this year. Kids are being sold on the idea of coming in and bringing Notre Dame back to prominence and it’s working. The only real question is if Charlie Weis will be the coach when it happens.
